This is huge news for Upstate New Yorkers (including us!): the local Troy, NY newspaper, The Record, is confirming a report that Marvel has shown interest in using the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for several scenes in Iron Man 3.
The location would be used as the secret lab of the villain in the movie.
But, don’t get your hopes up just yet, the location is not set in stone. “These types of location scouting inquiries and negotiations about EMPAC take place all the time,” said Michael Mullaney, a Rensselaer spokesman. “At this point, there is absolutely nothing certain or definitive about Iron Man 3.”
Stay tuned for any updates on Iron Man 3 and the movie’s potential filming locations!
