Iron Man 2 Scarlett Johansson is the Black Widow

[marcvader]

^^^ This is exactly what I've been saying all along. Scarlett just doesn't feel like the athletic assassin type to me. But who knows, hopefully she'll prove all of us naysayers wrong in the end.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ IMO, I think she will. I have faith.

Her ass looks like a pair of testicles.

Good of you to bring that up.

I've done a little side-by-side comparison of a promo still from The Perfect Score and a JG Jones illustration of the Black Widow.

This looks more Mary Jane Watson than Natasha Rominov

 

[Congo Jack]

The perfume on the cover of #3 looks like cock and balls. And fair play to Land for being able to withhold his desire to draw orgasms for the first two covers - musta took some serious will power.

That series was very good. Great art from Parlov and Bill Sin-kev-itch (I gave up attempting it a long time ago).

 

[AxlsAppetite]

Yeah as long as she wears that tight leather suit i'll be good.

 

[Sub-Zero]

there's a rumor going around that natasha rominov is one of tony's assistants. yes, i know pepper is his assistant. i think natasha may be some kind of body guard from s.h.i.e.l.d. to protect a non-armored stark b/c he outed himself as ironman and being stark's assistant is her cover.

So let me guess... an undercover bodyguard who is secretly a spy who is using Stark for information.

 

[D-Man22]

^Yeah I know. Very unoriginal.

well it fits with her ultimate characterization. they did pretty great with the first movie maybe they won't make it as cheesy as we think.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That's actually a cool idea. I think they can make it work. After all, Favreau took generic supporting characters and made them there own thing and addes alot of flavor and personality to them.

I think Scarlett can do it, would of preferred Blunt, but hey, I can't complain when I imagine Scarlett in that black leather. Good christ.

I second that.

 

[Chewy]

Or maybe she's a spy who starts off by working for/sleeping with Stark and then proceeds to stab him in the back and steal his armor tech for Hammer, who sells it to Whiplash

Have you ever seen Charlie Wilson's War?

Scarlett comments on the reports of her weight loss:

Since dedicating myself to getting into "superhero shape," several articles regarding my weight have been brought to my attention. Claims have been made that I've been on a strict workout routine regulated by co-stars, whipped into shape by trainers I've never met, eating sprouted grains I can't pronounce and ultimately losing 14 pounds off my 5'3" frame. Losing 14 pounds out of necessity in order to live a healthier life is a huge victory. I'm a petite person to begin with, so the idea of my losing this amount of weight is utter lunacy. If I were to lose 14 pounds, I'd have to part with both arms. And a foot.

Sounds like the rack is here to stay. t:

 

[HailtotheKing]

Wow. Being reminded just how short Scarlett is and hearing her talk about the "lunacy" of losing weight to get into "superhero shape" really just destorys any sort of confidence I might of had for her in this role.

Did no one tell her that she is playing a former Russian ballerina that becomes the Soviet Union"s best and most prized secret agent? That Natasha isn't a couch potato that just puts on a low cut dress to flash cleavage.

Scarlett better be committed to getting into the best damn physical conditioning of her life for this role other wise she should have just passed all together and let someone esle more dedicated pick it up instead.

 

[kedrell]

^Better change those hot-linked pics. Just a warning. Anyway, Torres doesn't have curves. Sure she's fit, but BW has both.

 

[DocHoliday]

Yeah as long as she wears that tight leather suit i'll be good.

Greatest user name ever!

 

[WillardNation]

That Dara Torres chick really looks like a dude.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I like that Scarlett has come out and said something about it. It's never about putting health at risk. Well, Christian Bale has done it a few times but he's the goddamd Batman!

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Comparing comic book characters with real people doesn't work.

That said, SJ is totally miscast for this role.

 

[House]

I couldnt be happier with the casting

 

[Crook]

You completely took her statement out of context. The "lunacy" is losing 14 pounds for a girl of her height/weight. Which is true to a point, that is a whole lot of weight for her frame. Did you just gloss over where she says it's a victory and she's glad she's healthier because of it?

Erm...there's been plenty of articles out there stating that she is in a rigorous workout regime. RDJ is even quoted to saying she's getting into "crazy shape". What more do you want?

 

[Brian Braddock]

Losing weight shouldnt always be an indicator that a person is in great shape. After all, let's not forget that muscle weighs more than fat.

I mean, I dont want an immancipated Black Widow on screen looking like she's fighting for her next square meal (Angelina Jolie in Wanted is what I'd like to avoid). I wanna see a healthy BW on screen - sinewy and muscular (to whatever extent is acheivable) yet lithe and flexible.

I would like to see her tone up and build some muscle in the right areas, which as Crook says above, it seems she is doing with this 'rigourous workout regime' to get in 'crazy shape'.
