    Rumor: Blunt in as Black Widow

    It’s certainly a possibility as Variety is reporting Jon Favreau is casting his eyes toward Emily Blunt to play the Black Widow in the upcoming Iron Man 2 film.

    Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play Natasha Romanoff in the “Iron Man” sequel. She’s a Soviet superspy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

    She’s done some comedy and a few big dramas (Charlie Wilson’s War, The Jane Austen Book Club), and will appear in the upcoming Wolf Man movie from Universal.

    Marvel has issued a firm “no comment” on this bit of casting news, so for now, we’ll have to file this under rumor.

      Seems like a pretty good possibility if Twitter can be considered reliable:

      OH jeeZ, another heroine…
      “…in a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry.”

      Wait, I guess I’m really OK with that. :n)
      After all if sweet li’l Betty and Veronica can do it it must be a good thing.

      meh.

      I will ALWAYS prefer acting over looks, so I’m really not a shallow guy, but I really think that Black Widow should be a bit more… irresistible.
