Well now, here's a sight for sore eyes.

As we know, Robert Downey Jr. and Co. resumed filming Iron Man 3 in Miami this week after taking a nearly six-week break to allow for the star's ankle injury to heal

And it turns out, he wasted no time in getting back into superhero mode, as the first shots from the set showed off RDJ not only in Tony Stark mode, but in Iron Man mode, too.

Filming resumed near Dania Beach, Fla., on Oct. 1, and it was on the second day of the restarted production that Downey got his superhero on.

Despite the delay in filming, the movie is still on track for its May 3, 2013 release, and Marvel has promised the first teaser trailer will debut at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 23.

So mark your calendars. As if you hadn't already.
