Iron Man 2 Emily Blunt..."rumored" to be in Iron Man 2

[Franklin Richards]

Are we sure she's not...

Madame Masque?


Just a thought.

 

[Chewy]

^ Yes

 

[Ironfan72]

I would be cool with her in either role to be honest, she is super hot and would make a great Black Widow or Madam Masque, IMO.

 

[cerealkiller182]

We arnt even sure of the casting. She is just considered the front runner right now.

 

[Chewy]

True, but the trades generally don't publish things like this unless there's a degree of legitimacy to them.

I dont question its validity. She very well is the favorite and forerunner, but thats not exactly official. Im still kinda hoping they were wrong about Rockwell and hes in the Hawkeye role rather the Hammer role (but hed be fine in either)

 

[HailtotheKing]

What is this based on?

Um...the fact that she hasn't done any movie yet to show that she has the physical prowess and agility one would think should be required for the role of Black Widow.

I have a strong fear in the back of my head that fight scenes with her could possibly end up like this.

Shooting starts in April so they only have about 2 months to get her ready.

What makes you think she won't be training herself for the role like other actresses before have done? Sure she may not do 100% of the stunts, but who even knows if she'll be having a lot to do in Iron Man 2? I can't see her having anymore action than Silk Spectre will in Watchmen.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Cool news and cool manip!

 

[The Guard]

Maybe they'll be smart and sign her to a two picture deal. Nah, they'll lose her before IRON MAN 3.

 

[SamuraiSon6]

as others said, wouldnt have thought of her, but it works really well actually

Thats just it, we don't know. If they are bringing in BW to be a one shot deal so she can act as a sexual object for guys to look at sure, hire Emily. But if her character is being introduced to kick ass in IM2 and possibly even be a full fledge member of The Avengers later on, she is going to need a mass amount of training since this is an entirely new thing for her to be doing.

And right now we don't even know if she has the role (she may not even know). If it isn't finalized until some time next month and Emily is officially brought into the cast with less than 2 months before filming then she is only going to be able to learn the bare minimum. When you read articles about most action movies you read about how the actor had like 3 or more months of prepping with things like boot camps, gun ranges, and fight choreography.

If there isn't enough time to prep Emily, who is essentially a blank slate, then that just makes me think that this has a very good chance of turning out bad for the character.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I am sure this stuff sorts itself out all the time. You'd be suprised how often the stunt double gets thrown in there. If she can get the legs up and balance herself she'll be fine. No one will be asking her to look like a Russian Olympian gymnist or anything.

 

[HailtotheKing]

I actually wouldn't be suprised. I know a lot of people use doubles.

But the thing is I personally have grown used to watching action movies where the star knows most of their stuff. Tony Ja, Jason Stathem, Milla Jovovich, they don't make thought provoking films but they certainly know how to kick an ass or two and it shows in spades in their films.

And considering who Black Widow is, shouldn't they be asking Emily to train enough so she could pass for a Russian Olympian gymnist?

 

[FaT_tONle]

If they were giving her her own movie then you'd be better off bringing in an action star... she's a supporting player that will have limited action. You can get by with a double. If they ever do make a BW movie then I am sure she'll be in shape by then.

 

[HailtotheKing]

I hope so. I just don't want her handling a gun or something like she is afriad she is going to break a nail.

 

[JerseyJoker]

I haven to say, even with all the mix in communication about who is staying and going, all the rumor casting about key players that are coming into the sequel, i am happy with, all wise and nice choices, who all back it up with real acting ability, not just looks of the character.

I trust Favs, i trust RDJ, i trust they will not disappoint with IM 2. And i HAAATE recasting between movies, i HATE it, but i trust that Favs wouldnt just screw with a film for a reason that is unjust.

How likely do you think it is, she may be required to sign on to Avengers as well? Her role seems more important to Avengers than IM3 imo.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Minimum two picture deal with an option for a third... either a spinoff, IM3 appearance, or Avengers sequel.

I hope so. I just don't want her handling a gun or something like she is afriad she is going to break a nail.

Yeah the same character from Prada is gonna show up...

 

[HailtotheKing]

No, I'm am afriad Emily Blunt is going to show up. She has never done anything to prepare herself for a role like Black Widow. It's like when you see movies where people are using guns and they are shutting their eyes everytime it makes loud noise. That is exactly what I don't want.

 

[The Guard]

Joke.

Terrance Howard? Sam Jackson?

Yes, because they would spend a couple of million paying Blunt, getting her costumes/weaponry designed, and writing her into action scenes without training her to handle a firearm

 

[Rac]

I wouldn't have picked her, but I'm starting to like it...

I think you're worried about stuff that you should worry LATER down the line.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

All this casting news has me thrilled. IronMan taking on three villains, this should be intresting.
