ComicBookMovie has artist Adi Granov revealing his artwork for a Fing Fang Foom teaser that will show up in Iron Man 2. Jon Favreau previously stated he'd love to use the villain in future films. I expect Fing Fang Foom and the Mandarin could be connected somehow in Iron Man 3.

"I'm writing a comic book now with [Marvel artist] Adi Granov," he said. "Where Fin Fang Foom is the bad guy. That's what I want to see, but I don't know if I want that in the movie right now. Eventually I'd love to get to the point where the movie could accept that and you could develop a reality where that could work."

"This was my design for Fin Fang Foom for the Iron Man Viva Las Vegas book I was doing with Jon Favreau. But this image in particular was done for the IM movie and used as a billboard in one of the scenes where Iron Man flies past it. It's very quick, but Jon wanted to have a kind of a cool Easter egg in there."
