I'm assuming you're referring to weapons training? Didn't ScarJo do a Michael Bay movie? I think she's had some weapons training.
SJ is going to need more than just gun training and The Island had her using a hangdun only right? SJ has what, like a month before filming starts? Even guys like Deniro flinch and shut their eyes when using firearms during a scene. That needs to be avoided entirely.
Why are you people talking like Milla is a good actress? Even if you consider Scarlet mediocre (which her reputation disagrees with) Milla is terrible. She has done 2 good movies... and one of them was Zoolander. I don't usually care about this sort of thing but BW is a sexy curvy woman, that is just a big part of who she is. Scarlet is very much that. Milla has a pretty face. The rest is, as I said, 12 year old boy-ish.
Let me guess, Resident Evil 1-3 and Ultraviolet are the only other movies you've seen her in.
Dummy, .45, The Claim, No Good Deed, You Stupid Man, Million Dollar Hotel (boring movie though).
Also, Black Widow is a TALL, ATHLETIC, and curvy woman. Scarlett fits the last one. She is short, soft, and has an average body with her breasts being her main attraction. Oh and she doesn't come close to looking like an exotic beauty.
And like other have stated, Milla's nearly year long training for Ultraviolet (which she trained for while shooting Resident Evil 2) just shows her dedication to physical fitness.
Also, I like how people keep saying over and over that Scarlett is cast so stop talking about who you'd really like to see play the role and to stop saying that Scarlett isn't really right for the role. Like only positive things can be said about her but everyone else can be trashed.

You can have any opinion you want. Im just suprised, thats all. That is if you're not kidding.
Again, sorry for thinking a naturally athletic Ukranian born actress would be better for the Russian spy character. My opinion is that Milla would crush Scarlett in this role, you aren't going to change my mind.
Hell, just out of a cool "6 degrees of seperation" type of thing with would be awesome for Milla to play Black Widow.
Jackson is Fury, he was in No Good Deed with Milla and she played a criminal that seduces Jackon's character.
RDJ played Chaplin and Milla played his wife.
If Alexander Skarsgård get cast as Thor like so many people want and his dad Stellan Skarsgård gets cast as Odin then that means she would be connected to both the Skarsgårds as well cause Alexander was in Zoolander with Milla and Stellan was also in No Good Deed.
