A few images have popped up for the new line of Iron Man 2 toys, and they have a few features we may not see in the film, but they're worth mentioning anyway. First, let's see what Robert Downey, Jr. would look like if he treated his face the way Nicole Kidman does:

Comic Book Movie says that it's possibly too early to introduce he Extremis storyline (despite its appearance on an Iron Man DVD featurette), however, that sure is the Extremis armor Tony Stark is wearing on the box art below. The reason it might be too early is because Stark doesn't really need to invent it yet, in the movies, anyway. It's a great bit of Iron Man lore, and I'm sure it will happen if the film series goes on past The Avengers by a couple of installments.

"The Extremis enhancement has turned Stark into a cyborg and effectively functions like his second skin. It was later stated that the Extremis endowed Stark with a 'healing factor,' making Stark immune to cancer," writes Comic Book Movie. So the question is, will this stuff show up in Iron Man 2? It would seem odd if it was completely distant from the story of the film, so maybe it's a third act or epilogue reveal. Just a hunch.
