Emily Blunt to Star in Iron Man 2?

January 14, 2009

Variety is reporting the rumor that Emily Blunt is in talks to play Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2. Romanoff is a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

She would join the previously-announced villains Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell in the sequel. Again directed by Jon Favreau, the Marvel Studios film sees the return of Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, while Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard.

Blunt's credits include The Devil Wears Prada, The Jane Austen Book Club and Charlie Wilson's War. She also stars in The Wolfman, coming to theaters in November.

The Justin Theroux-scripted Iron Man 2 will begin production this spring for a release by Paramount on May 7, 2010.

ok sorry had to do that just the one time,
anyway Emily Blunt is a great actress and not to mention absolutely stunning, so I am all for having her in a black skin tight outfit up on that big screen!

her part is very very small in Charlie Wilson's War, which is actually a very good movie, but the few minutes she is in it are worth the rental price alone, even if you don't like the rest of it

I think Christian Bale would make a great Black Widow.

Huh. Not the name that first comes to mind when I think about a movie Black Widow but if she can get a good Russian accent I have no doubt she can pull it off.

Word to the wise: leave THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA at the door. Comic book fans will kill you.
