There is some very top secret stuff happening with the Iron Man movie. Yesterday witnesses at the Caesars Casino reported that they saw Hillary Swank on set. Then today Jon Favreau practically confirmed it.

But who is Hillary Swank playing?

This all started Monday on the Internet Movie Database when two different members posted that they saw Hillary Swank on the set of Iron Man at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

Hilary Swank has a small part

They were filming a scene at Caesars Palace in Vegas this morning - Hilary Swank was on set. She has small part apparently. She was hanging on Downy, Jr’s arm while he shot craps. Director Favreau is in the scene also, as a casino pit boss.
It was funny, I was filming what I could with my digital camera, but one of the crew kept going out of his way to stand in front of me. They can’t stop you, it isn’t against casino rules from where I was standing, but they want to keep it off youtube or something.

This mourning here in vegas they were filming abunch of scenes at ceasers. It looks like some sort of party scene. Hillary Swank has a small cameo as a SHIELD AGENT im not sure which one but in the scene she was hanging on Tonys arm and talking about SHIELD. From what I heard it sounds like SHIELD is being created in this film. I didnt bring my camera but there were a few people filming everything. I dont have any sources there is no web site or whatever but I was at ceasers and they were filming so your gonna have to go by my word and hope im not some stupid fan boy lol.

Anyways anyone know which agent she might be playing? by the way faverau was in the scene, but no sam jackson that I could see.

Then today Jon Favreau indirectly confirms that she is indeed in the film. Notice Swank is capitalized.

Principal photography ended with a huge bang as we filmed the final scenes of Iron Man in Caesar’s Palace. As many of you already know, gambling is a casino’s top priority. A production can not interfere with their cash cow. As a result, movies must shoot during the dead hours, no matter if it’s Swingers or Rain Man. We were given a window of midnight to one the next afternoon to do all of our work. Part of our strategy to prepare for these ungodly hours was to stay up as late as possible the night before and sleep as late as possible. I did half the plan. The wrong half. I stayed out until 7AM and then woke up four hours later. After motoring through the delerium of a sleepless shooting marathon, I am proud to report that we have handily completed our movie on time and on budget. What a great way to end.

I would also like to thank Ceasars for their hospitality, generosity, and Swank accomodations.

So with Hillary Swank in Iron Man, possibly as a SHIELD agent, this gives more credibility to the Sam Jackson as Nick Fury rumor.

Who could Hillary Swank be playing? Here is a run down of suspected characters.

Maria Hill: The deputy commander of SHIELD.

Sharon Carter: Another prominent SHIELD agent who is Captain America’s love interest.

Natasha Romanov: The Black Widow. Who I’m hoping she is. Romanov is an Avenger and an agent of Shield. This would be a good set up for the future Avengers movie.

Herself: It could be that she is playing herself. She is seen on the arm of Tony Stark. He is a wealthy playboy who may be out on a date with a celebrity.
