The red head from Devil Wears Prada? nice.

I always thought she'd make a good Pepper.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Damn, I wanted her as Catwoman in the next Batman film. Nice addition if she comes aboard though.

 

[cerealkiller182]

She would make a pretty good Black Widow.

Here's the article, just in case..

With Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell negotiating to play two key villains in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Entertainment and director Jon Favreau are now focusing on casting another nemesis for Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark: the femme fatale Black Widow.

Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play the role of Natasha Romanoff in the "Iron Man" sequel. She's a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

Blunt, whose recent credits include "The Devil Wears Prada," "The Jane Austen Book Club" and "Charlie Wilson's War," will get a profile boost when she stars with Benicio Del Toro in the Joe Johnston-directed "The Wolf Man" for Universal.

Marvel would not comment on the Black Widow casting. The Justin Theroux-scripted "Iron Man 2" will begin production this spring for release by Paramount in summer 2010.

Great news if this is true.

^ nice t:

 

[Chris B]

I'd be fine with her, if they do cast her.

As did I. I'm sure I put her in the original Pepper casting thread before we found out Gwenyth got the part.

 

[Nirvana]

Eh, maybe.

 

[kedrell]

Why do I always have the hardest time calling up anything on Variety's website?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Christ, they need to tone down the characters. I hope this doesn't become overcrowded where the characters don't know where to be devloped. Just keep it Stark, Hammer, and Ivan. I don't really wanna see Avenger's interferance with the film. Maybe some tidbits but nothing part of the main story.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Red Head Blunt...

I gotto admit... not terrible... not terrible at all.... young too. Definitely lock this chick up for three pictures.

 

[Lobo]

Not who I'd have thought of, but I must say, I quite like this should it come to fruition

 

[JP]

This would be awesome.

 

[Majik1387]

Definite great casting.

We have known BW was going to be in this flick forever. It was also stated they were "currently casting" the role in the articles that reported Rourke/Rockwell. The character appearing shouldn't be any surprise at this point.

And BW has very, very strong ties to Stark AND Dynamo in the comics.

As I usually say.. let the manip-madness begin

 

[Symbiotic]

Good choice if true.

 

[Majik1387]

As I usually say.. let the manip-madness begin

It should be fun to do.

 

[Octoberist]

this cast is starting to kick ass.

 

[Casius--J]

I never saw Devil Wears Prada but the pic they have on the front page she looks smokin hot! I'd be fine with this casting!

 

[Lobo]

this cast is starting to kick ass.

Starting? We started with Downey Jr, Paltrow, and Bridges, that already kicks ass. Now we have Cheadle who's a better actor than Howard IMO, added Rockwell, and Rourke, and now Emily Blunt? The Iron Man 2 cast will kick even more ass than the first one did

 

[bunk]

omgomgomgomgomgomg!

 

[Octoberist]

that's what I meant, Lobo.

Also, it's kinda sad that Emily Blunt's career took off like a rocket, while her co-star Nathalie Press in the movie "My Summer of Love" was overshadowed. I think that WAS the 'IT' movie for both actresses, and yet, Blunt ran with it. Not to say that Ms. Press is not successful in her own right.
