At this point, it's hard to top the anticipation of the release of Iron Man 2. That's an impressive feat considering the movie won't be coming out for nearly a year, but I guess that's how summer movies work nowadays, right? Studios build up the tension just enough to keep you interested, and just when you're about to burst from excitement, they give you just a little taste of something to keep you calm until the next piece.

Today's taste is the first public peek that we've seen at the set of Iron Man 2. A select few hundred were able to see footage at Comic-Con this year, and now Entertainment Tonight brings us their exclusive set visit. While there's no actual footage of the movie to be seen, we do get to see a few key character in action, including Whiplash and the Black Widow.

The best part of the footage is that everyone seems to be having a great time on set. Robert Downey Jr. looks happier than I've ever seen him (how can you be that guy and not be happy?). Gwyneth Paltrow talks about how good she feels about herself when she gets dressed up in skimpy clothes and high heels as Pepper. ScarJo talks about kicking ass. It seems like everyone is having the time of their lives. When that's the case, good movies tend to happen.
