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

you had to say it didnt you

Not arguing, simple disagreement.
Well I find Blunt to be a better actress, has a better vocal presence and she looks the part more than Scarlet. I like Scarlet don't get me wrong, but I find her over-suggested for female roles on these boards.
I mean even Dushku is a better fit than Scarlet, in looks, fighting background, and age.

When I said "No point in arguing" I was just meaning my post was not a challenge to your opinion, just a question. the only part I agree on is Blunt has a slightly better look for the part but not body wise, but I'd be fine with either even if I do prefer Scarlett in the role. I also don't see what difference being suggested a lot on these boards should make, directors should be casting who they feel is right, whether she has been suggested for comic book roles 400 times on a message board or just twice.

Just thought I'd put a disclaimer because I've seen a lot of semi-arguments in casting threads lately.

I can agree on the body but I have seen Blunt in fuller shape than she's been lately.

I also don't see what difference being suggested a lot on these boards should make, directors should be casting who they feel is right, whether she has been suggested for comic book roles 400 times on a message board or just twice.

I agree, but on a message board to suggest the same thing again and again gets way too repetitive and boring because there's only so much you can say about someone.

I love scarlett but I'd be more interested in seeing Blunt in the role !

 

[darthlaney]

If Blunt is out - My first choice would be MEW - Just say NO to JO

 

[WillardNation]

as much as I love Scarlett, I'm not sure if she fits this role.

 

[louiebling$]

Jo must fit what. Favs wants.... he seems to know where he wants to go with this film... so maybe we should just leave it on jons hands .... he did a remarkable job on the 1st an d he's expecting to give give the fans more this time around.....

 

[bapi]

Emily would be better.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Hmmmm.... I thought Blunt was a better choice, personally. Scarlett is one of these actresses that I can recognise is talented, but I personally have never really warmed to her. Then again, the problem has often been me finding her on-screen persona too cold and distant to really invest in her characters, and cold and distant might compliment Black Widow.

While I would have preferred Blunt, casting Scarlett is by no means the end of the world. I'm open to the possibility of her winning me over.

 

[Ironfan72]

Sounds interesting, Marvel at least is trying to bring in hot talent, I've personally not seen much with Scarlett in it, but people I've spoken with say she's very talented.
This role of Blackwidow has had some big names thrown around, Emily Blunt, Eliza Dusku and now Scarlett , I beleive in Favreau and his vision.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think Blunt may have fit the role better, but I also think Scarlett will do a really good job. So, who knows?

 

[Lobo]

My order of preference would be:

1. Blunt
2. Johansson
3. Dushku

 

[hatebox]

I like Scarlett enough but, when i think about it, the only film I've seen her been positively good in was Lost in Translation.

Of the 7 or so other films I've seen her in she's been positively average. And I can't see her being a good choice for this. I don't know what direction they're going for with the character, but it feels like hiring a star rather than the best fit.

 

[terry78]

I think Scarlett actually would work well with this....she does seem to have that slightly deeper octave to her voice that a Russian chick would have. Mindy Kaling from the office did a standup routine imitating her and basically lowered her voice sounding like a dude. It was hilarious, but she does have that kind of voice.

 

[ultimatefan]

Well, I think Scarlett is a terrific actress who can definitely pull off the femme fatale angle - don´t judge her for The Spirit, that movie was a train wreck in all aspects, no actors could have saved something so ill-conceived all around . Maybe she´s a little too petit for those action roles, though.

Eliza Dushku is hot, but I never saw what´s the big deal on her acting. Word out there from early reviews is she turned out to be the wrong choice for the Dollhouse main role, which DEMANDS a terrific, chameleonic actress.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Scarlett is an awful choise for the Black Widow.
See doesn´t look nothing like Natasha

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'd rather have Blunt.

 

[FaT_tONle]

My order of preference would be:

1. Blunt
2. Johansson
3. Dushku

I'd go:

1: Blunt
2: Blunt
3: Blunt

 

[FlawlessVictory]

I definitely prefer Blunt. She has a more athletic, lean looking body. And when you look at her face/eyes, you get the idea there is a lot going on there, she is sexy but looks like she could double cross you at anytime. Scarlett comes across as too "soft" for me.

Based on what role exactly. I liked her in Devil Wears Prada but if that role is supposed to define her career to date I am less than impressed. I have to admit I added Sunshine Cleaning service to my Netflix because it sounded intriguing.

Certainly I don't necessarily think that means she shouldn't be cast as BW but when you compare her meager pedigree to Scarlett's it just pales in comparison. Of the other four roles I have seen Emily she just didn't make much of an impact on me. I can think of four roles in which I loved Scarlett that she headlined.

If she can pull off the accent then I would say she could definitely pull off Black Widow. Also from a possible franchise standpoint she has the name to carry it.

Now if it were me casting I might choose to go with the right unknown (relatively) for less money than pay star bucks for Johanssen.

..and Dushku? She's okay eye candy but I wasted an hour of my life watching Dollhouse last night. She has the range of a young Carmen Elektra. How they thought it was a good idea to cast her a chameonlike genius/spy/hostage negotiator I don't know. But then again I always thought Whedon was overrated.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Why was the ScarJo thread closed? Fake news?

 

[mclay18]

Scarlett is hugely overrated. Almost every movie she seems to either phone it in or doesn't care -- like The Black Dahlia, The Spirit and Match Point. The only good work she's done is Lost in Translation and Girl With a Pearl Earring. She does look a lot more homely and smarter as a brunette though.

I still want Blunt. I thought both Marvel and Fox were able to coordinate Blunt's schedule for her to do both movies at the same time before this popped up.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

I'd rather see Scarlett as Black Cat.

 

[MiniBond]

so......what a fight

 

[p4poetic]

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.

Umm...all actors start out that way Halle Berry, Rebbecca Romjin, Uma Thurman, Lucy Lawless, etc. hadn't done anything like that before they were cast in their respective roles. Maybe someone like Hilary Swank had prior experience, and Lucy Lawless already was a horseback rider, but they general don't cast gymnasts and/or martial artists who are amateur actors. Unless this was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers t:
