When the Gina Carano as WW rumors first surfaced, I did initially think it was actually possible given Cavill and Carano's hook-up at roughly the same time.
But then I thought- it's Nolan handpicking the director and probably even the actors given the kind of actors that have been cast in the different roles.
You see, I don't care what people think of Nolan's Batman- but one thing he did do was make sure each and every actor for each and every role was up to scratch. Even
Police guy across bridge was freakin' Desmond Harrington!
And now Nolan's probably
Godfathering JL. Now, I'm not as pessimistic about Carano's acting talent as some of the others and I'm really keeping an open mind here- but at any which rate I don't think she could have cleared a screen test overseen by Nolan! And if she did, it really must be us underrating her!
About Blunt, she doesn't look the part the way Michael Caine didn't look like Alfred, or Heath Ledger didn't look like Joker or Tom Hardy didn't look like Bane!
I think she has the most important character nuance down- she has that regal air that some choices like Carano, Daddario, Ory, McPhee or even my own first choice Cohan lack.
And I don't think we really have to worry about stunts and all- as far as I recall, she was very much the first choice for Black Widow!
And she is probably head and shoulders ahead of so many other choices anyway!
I dunno... I don't really see much wrong here!
