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

[Chewy]

^ Yes, and last we heard her agents were trying to work out her schedule so she could do both

 

[Matt.S99]

Oh thats good then. Im definetly in favor of the both of them ,but I think Blunt fits better with the cast.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Dushku would be a better Madame Masque.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Ew. Dushku as Black Widow is on the same level as Alba as Invisible Woman.

 

[kedrell]

^I wouldn't say so. A lot of stuff depends on who's directing her, and Favreau is leagues better than Story ever was.

 

[Matt.S99]

Eliza is a MUCH better actress than Alba. And I totally agree with Kendrell. I think it depends on who is directing her. Im sure Favreau would do a good job directing her. And she also wants the role, so she might try even harder since its a role she really wants.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Ew. Dushku as Black Widow is on the same level as Alba as Invisible Woman.

agreed

 

[batdude]

I would really love Eliza to do this. The only real problem is the red hair. Blunt would'nt be a bad second choice though.

 

[Matt.S99]

In all fairness, Blunt does fit the role better. But I think Eliza would be great. Shes definetly my choice for the role now.(But I still got hope that Blunt can do both films)

 

[Majik1387]

Red hair is easily fixable if they actually treat it with care. They could even get a wig if need be.

From EW.com:

'Iron Man 2': Scarlett Johansson to replace Emily Blunt as Black Widow?

Because Emily Blunt's commitment to Twentieth Century Fox and the studio's upcoming Gulliver's Travels movie may prohibit her from costarring in Iron Man 2, Marvel is in discussions with other actresses, most significantly Scarlett Johansson, to take her place, EW has learned exclusively. Marvel will not confirm, but sources around Hollywood say Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow. Blunt's reps are still trying to make both projects work, but Gulliver's is further along, with a start date of April 15. Iron Man 2 still doesn't have a shooting script and a start date has not yet been determined.

 

[Majik1387]

Scarlet.

 

[FaT_tONle]

You've gotto be kidding me... HELL NO to Scarlett... she's like 24 and I am already sick of her being in just about everything. Maybe Ms. Marvel or somebody but not Widow...

 

[Octoberist]

when was Scarlett in 'everything'?

 

[fu manchu]

hmm....scarlett in a skintight black costume.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Reading the ScarJo rumor over again, I make it out that Ryan Reynolds might have suggested she "throw her hat into the ring" for the role and it's not Marvel that is actively pursuing her. Going by his past casting decisions I strongly doubt that Favs would find her a serious contender.

With the degree of support people on forums have shown towards Blunt, I'd think that Marvel would be trying vigorously to work something out with Fox to keep her attached to IM2.

Worst case scenario I could even see them going with another forum supported choice, Milla Jovovich, especially given that she's worked with RDJ before.

 

[Majik1387]

I don't think Marvel has any problem pursuing Blunt, it's friggin Fox that gets in the way, like it always does.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I thought Blunt was a solid choice but I prefer Scarlett.

 

[Lobo]

I LOVED the idea of Blunt as Black Widow, but this Scarlett ideas makes me think Hmmmm. Methinks, I like it

 

[Majik1387]

I don't think Scarlet has what it takes for BW.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I don't think Scarlet has what it takes for BW.

No point in arguing but I am curious what exactly it was in Blunt's resume that made you feel she could pull the character off ?

 

[Chewy]

I can't see this actually happening.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I like Blunt a lot better b/c she isn't overexposed and she could blend in a lot better. Can't say the same for Sca Jo...

 

[louiebling$]

im sick off all this back in forth with the actors/Actresses.. this film starts filming in 2 1/2 and a half months

 

[Majik1387]

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.

lol Watch someone get cast the day before shooting.
