A gigantic crater was spotted on the Rose Hill, North Carolina set of the upcoming film “Iron Man 3” by director Shane Black and starring Robert Downey Jr. (The Avengers, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Due Date, Iron Man 2), Scarlett Johansson (We Bought a Zoo, Under the Skin, The Spirit), Gwyneth Paltrow (Contagion, Glee, Country Strong) and Don Cheadle (Flight, House of Lies, Iron Man, The Guard).

Synopsis: Iron Man gets a third outing fresh from his team-up with The Avengers in this Marvel Studios production. Robert Downey Jr. once again stars, with Shane Black taking over directing duties from Jon Favreau, who stepped down after a tumultuous Iron Man 2 shoot. Drew Pearce provides the script. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
