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

[Darth Elektra]

Hopefully Blunt can play in both films. She would make a great Black Widow.

 

[Octoberist]

I swear, there's something always happening with the production/cast every week!

 

[FaT_tONle]

Yeah there better be something happening... considering filming should start in a few months...

 

[Doctor Jones]

Don't pull a Katie Holmes!

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'm not going to form an opinion until I know for sure.

 

[OsGom]

Considering her limited pedigree if Blunt drops out it's no big loss. I think there are many other attractive capable actresses that can fill this part and would jump at the chance to work in this franchise.

 

[kedrell]

^True, but I hope she can do it.

 

[drax]

I find her very great for black widow, she's really gorgeous, I hope she will take the role, I can't wait to see Iron Man 2.

 

[OsGom]

Casting a woman as a superhero just because she looks good is the same as casting a wrestler as a superhero just because he is muscular.

I would love to see BW spun off in her own franchise so I would like to see a capable actress cast in the role to begin with. In my limited viewings of Ms. Blunt's work I haven't been blown away. Not that I am opposed to castin her. I just wouldn't want anyone cast based solely on looks.

I have confidence marvel knows what they're doing.

 

[fu manchu]

She does have an Oscar nod, so she does know something about acting. It not like Marvel casting a model for her first acting part.

No she doesn't. But regardless, an Oscar nomination is not needed to determine how good an actor is.

 

[fu manchu]

oops, I meant golden globe nomination. she also has some other acting awards and nomination to her name.

btw, i didn't mean she was a really good actress, but that she knows how to act and its not entirely based on her looks.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I don't think BW would have held her own in a solo film... look at the flops like Aoen Flux... I mean the Resident Evils were terrible with Mila Jovovich of all leads. Hell I wasn't even too impressed with Beckinsale and the Underworld films, or even Jolie for that matter if you want to talk Tomb Raider. Not to be sexest... but these action franchises with female leads have not done all that well... not because they can not do well period. All or most of them have just been bad films. I just say introduce BW in IM2 as it is. Put her in Avengers. Then maybe do a SHIELD movie where you have multiple heroes and Marvel characters participating OR do a Hawkeye/Dare Devil film with BW as a love interest (I'd prefer a Hawkeye movie more than a DD reboot if BW is to be involved). Most preferably just use her again in an Avengers sequel. Three movies should be about right.

 

[Mister Sinister]

OK, now I hope she doesn't get the role.

 

[cerealkiller182]

OK, now I hope she doesn't get the role.

meh...prefer Blunt

 

[Lobo]

OK, now I hope she doesn't get the role.

I LOVE Dushku, but I prefer Blunt for the role. I won't be upset at all if she gets it though, even though she's become my choice for Lois Lane.

 

[kedrell]

Either are perfectly acceptable IMO. And whichever one doesn't get it, there's always that Madame Masque character that I hope eventually shows up in one of the IM movies.

 

[[A]]

lol @ Dushku. teenage wankers would be happy, though

 

[Matt.S99]

Dushku would be great. She can definetly kick ass and she said she had to play a russian in Dollhouse. I prefer Blunt, but Dushku would be great.

 

[Chewy]

Dushku wants a role in what is likely to be the largest film of 2010? Whoda thunk it...

 

[terry78]

Why would Dushku as Black Widow be a bad thing? She ain't a terrible actress.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I'll agree they could do worse, but I wouldnt say Dushku is good

 

[Matt.S99]

Shes not GREAT, but shes good. Shes good in her indipenadant films that shes done. Shes just type cast IMO. Lets wait till Dollhouse. Shes going to be playing a different ''character'' every week.

Ive been thinking about this idea more and just listened to the Stern interview and I think Eliza would be a top match for Black Widow, if she can pull off the accent. Shes not a GREAT actress, but shes acceptable, she definetly can do action, she looks good in a latex suit and she knows how to handle a gun.

 

[Ironfan72]

I like Eliza and wouldn't hate her as Blackwidow, she would be an interesting choice, and if Fox doesn't let Emily Blunt take the role, then give Eliza a chance, who knows, worth keeping an eye on.

 

[Matt.S99]

isnt Blunt doing some stupid movie with Jack Black or something like that?
