So having re-watched Iron Man 2, I noticed a single frame detail during the final battle which I wonder if anybody else noticed. It appears to me that when the Hammer Drones are exploding, there's a shot which seems to show the Whiplash armour empty... Could Ivan Vanko have gotten out of his suit and escaped during the chaos?

Obviously it's well known that Mickey Rourke did not enjoy his time in the MCU so it would be unlikely that he would ever return, but what do you think? Was this the film-maker's way of allowing Vanko to return in a future film to torment Tony Stark yet again?
