Favreau: Blunt Won’t Play Black Widow in IRON MAN 2!!
I am – Hercules!!
Emily Blunt, who formed that level of management between Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in “The Devil Wears Prada,” will not play possible future Avenger Black Widow in "Iron Man 2."
Disappointing!
Someone named “Script Grrl” (no relation to AICN’s) wrote to The Playlist:
On E!'s post show at the red carpet of some party, Jon Favreau said that Fox exercised its ["Gulliver's Travellers"] option on Emily Blunt, and that she definitely won't be in 'Iron Man 2.' The reporter was chatting with Favreau and asking about what he can tell them about 'IM2.' He said Mickey Rourke isn't officially cast but that he is a fan.
Soviet superspy Natasha Romanoff made her initial Marvel Universe appearance in the Iron Man feature of 1964's Tales of Suspense #52.
Scarlett Johansson, meanwhile, has also been rumored for the Widow role.
And Eliza Dushku, who plays a Russian on an upcoming episode of “Dollhouse,” told Howard Stern 10 days ago that she wanted the role real bad.

I like Emily Blunt
-
AICN's script girl? that explains everything.
-
oh well.
-
as for IM2, i'm sure whoever they cast will be good... well, hot at least
-
Widow needs to be more athletic. They ought to just hire the chick from Van Helsing and those Underworld films where she basically plays Black Widow already anyways.
Love The Dusku but I see her more as a Black Cat than Black Widow. -
SHE'S HOT.
-
I'm sure she wants the role. Too bad they'd give it to about 50 other actresses before her. But seriously, how about Rachel McAdams?
-
"Scarlett is too curvy"
-
the story/plot for the sequel is beginning to sound ridiculous...
-
I hope this isn't getting away from Favraeu. IRON MAN worked because of the wonderful chemistry between the actors involved. Christ, even that plank Gwyneth Paltrow was sexy and charming in that film.
-
she SUCKS as an actress, and she's not even close to good enough to be in Iron Man. I dont care if she wants the role, no one is going to give it to her.
-
Not for me.
Also, "Charlie Wilson's War" is a good flick AND you get to see a whole lot of Emily Blunt in her underwear. Which is very nice. -
That way Duskhu, Blunt, Johannsen, Kurliyenko, Beckinsale, and the entire catalog of Penthouse Pets could play Black Widow. They just rotate turns every cut. Everybody wins!
-
Raspy smoke scarred voice, big-bell butt and dropping DD's, monotone-flat delivery, and very average face...
-

-
I don't care if the black widow is even in Iron Man, it's tedious just thinking about what her scenes would be like.
-
If the character was "BLANK Widow," sure. She's gorgeous, but she doesn't have the edge of a Russian superspy who could also beat the living piss out of you with her pinky finger. Thank God Jessica Alba's already ruined one superhero so they won't consider her here either.
-
Or some other super T&A Jessica Rabbit type. She's super hot but I just don't see her as the super athletic, acrobatic, Russian spy assassin.
-
spending some quality time together now.
-
I'm sure "Gulliver's Travels" will kick ass though.
-
Why should she even be in this movie? As "bad-ass" as the character is supposed to be, when there are giant robot suits smashing about, anything that a Russian Batgirl has to offer will simply be trite. Put the Widow in a Daredevil reboot, or even Captain America. She'll fit much better. And Jennifer Love Hewitt? Insanity. Can't act, has cherubic all-American girl face. Too bad there's no live-action Molotov Cocktease to take the role.
-
That's the silliest complaint I've heard from a man ever. "Oh no man, her boobs are too round and perfect, I cant tap that." Fucken hilarious! But I agree, I'd rather see someone else than Scarlett do this. By the way, Eliza Dushku is a terrible actress. Emily Blunt was a perfect choice for the role. Oh well...
-
Hot chick, meet tight black leather outfit. Tight black leather outfit chick, meet a boatload of money, stalkers and 20 years of comic cons. The end. Who cares about range? But, seriously, isn't this what it all boils down too? Cheesecake fanboy fantasy?

NO JOHANNSEN EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
I like Johannsen but, she does not have the looks of a model like the Black Widow does. Again, the actress has to be as hot as the comic character.
Check out the photos I found on this site of Jennifer Love Hewitt. She is the FUCKING TWIN OF THE BLACK WIDOW. Plus, Jennifer Love Hewitt is currently on some shitty TV show that may get cancelled and she hasn't been in movies in a while so she will be cheap for the cheap fucks at Marvel.
THERE WILL BE SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THE COMIC CHARACTER ENDS UP HOTTER THAN THE ACTOR PLAYING HER. Get it right Marvel and don't listen to that Dipshit cock sucker Favreau. -

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT OR SOMEONE AS HOT AS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
Oh, here are photos of Jennifer Love Hewitts perfect tits and face I on this web site i found the other day: http://hotnewsanchorwomen.blogspot.com/
-
That's what IM2 would be called if Sir Fiester was the casting director.
-
The role would be better suited to a more lanky and thin woman. No offense to Scarlet...
-
Unless we're living by Al Swearengen's example here. Oh, and JERRY HORROR's got a motherfucker and his blunts craving some goddamn cheesecake right about now.
-
Use someone new - you have plenty of names in the cast already and the fact is that you only need ONE - Robert Downey Jr. Why give it to some b-lister who brings along all the baggage of her past roles. There are plenty of hot actresses out there looking for work. Maybe use someone who is actually Russian for once?
-
Because Marvel refuses to pony up the money to hire real talent. Instead,expect the z-movie knockoff version of Emily Blunt to play Black Widow and ~Senor Samuelo Jackson'o to play Senor Nick Furiouso...agent of Mexican S.H.I.E.L.D. !!!!
-
... have such awful taste in music? Every time I watch one of those things I have to mute it. Ugh.
-
should be the obvious choice.
-
but please, not Johannsen. Admittedly, she was great as a hollowed-out wafer with no purpose in 'Lost in Translation.' Problem is Johannsen really *is* hollow with no purpose in life, re: her performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, where Barcelona actually out-acted her.
Woody Allen likes young girls. -
She is not a very good actress. GET A GOOD ACTRESS!!!!!!!
-
sounds like a parody from South Park.
-
Dushku + Russian accent = unwatchable! This role needs at least a bit of talent behind the curves.
-
But really, Olga Kurylenko or Milla Jovovich are much better choices for this role. Blunt has nothing about her that makes me think she's right for this role. On the other hand, those two actresses I listed have starred in action films, were born in the USSR, and are hot. What does Blunt have that they don't?
-
This is getting dumber then Johnny Deep is going to play Robin in the next Batman. Even worse its for a sequel no one is really that excited about.
-
Sorry. Your a tv actress. She has too many familiar characters to Black Widow. Shooo back to tv land.
-
Asia Argento.
-
That, the hack Don Cheedle is actually going to be playing every role in the sequel. He will also be playing Thor and Captain America, and Robin in the next Batman movie. Oh and the bad pirate in the next pirates movie. Seriously War Machine is a bad ass mofo, Don Cheedle could get his ass whooped by probably half the people who view this site.
-
its got to be somebody who can actually do some martial arts and has strength enough to do some serious damage.
-
At least thats what i would cast for a third Nolan Bat film
-
Would be Natalie Portman. That would be hot.
-
...looks a little bit like an elderly woman? In the face, she's a little old-maid-ish. The lines around her mouth, perhaps. I don't know. To me, she's like a teenage girl with your grandmother's face after she gets a truckload of botox and plastic surgery and a dye-job. Creepy...
-
there's a whole spate of women to play her. the right haircut and hair dye and it's a done deal. just make sure she doesnt sound like natasha from rocky and bullwinkle. hell even Erica Durance from smallville could play her.
-
has the look. She's a good actress in anything not involving action.

Jennifer Love Hewitt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
Great pictures of her tits on this site: http://hotnewsanchorwomen.blogspot.com/
You will have to type the sites name in manuely since cut and paste is screwing up the name.
but it's "hotnewsanchorwomen" at blogspot -
....whatever you do, DON'T cast Johansson. Look, she's gorgeous and can be competent, but overall doesn't have massive acting chops. She suits certain kinds of roles - more the young girlie type (See: Vicky Cristina, Lost in Translation, Scoop, Match Point). Emily Blunt has real confidence and a strong presence, a swagger. She looks like a real, adult woman. Johansson is lovely, but too American girlie bimboish, too soft. Okay, so Blunt can't make it, fine. But Favreau needs someone who is a strong, highly charismatic female...someone with an inner strength and attitude on top of the good looks. Scarlett Johansson does not have this...she looks good (yay for boobs!) and is competent, but would be totally wrong for the role. He should think more along the lines of Blunt.
-
Will the site get an story about every single cast speculation that hits in Hollywood every damn day? How ridiculous is to have a non story, much more because Blunt isn't even that a star, not enough to get people crying over the fact that she won't be in Iron Man and will be in Gulliver, whatever. She isn't Downey. She isn't even a Gwyneth Paltrow. The character will be just another minor wannabe sequel villain who will get a lot of exposure in ads and then get a 5 minute non-story in the movie. Lots of actresses can do that. This non-story is only an AICN make-up to slam Fox for getting Blunt to fulfill her contract with them, a contract that actually is paying her. How sick of Fox eh, to ask the actress to fulfill what she signed on! Damn Fox, why can't them let an obscure actress to make the villain in the cool Iron Man? Man, those monsters... yeah, sure.
-
A FUCKING GENIUS!!! I never thought of that. The only problem with Mila is that the older she gets the more manish she looks but as long as she doesn't over do it in the gym before hand she would be awesome. And Scarlett Johanssen looks really stupid in that picture.
-
Seriously tho both are super hot but dushku isn't a very good actress but i'd eat her ass like i was a diabetic and her ass was insulin
-
dont make the same mistake that snyder made by not giving law the ozy role...dushku is perfect for the widow...with a mix of tuffness and sexiness....GIVE IT TO DUSHKU

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT HAS TITS AND FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
Mila Jovovich fucked the Director of Resident Evil and then has his child to get on that film. Kate Beckinsale fucked the Director of Underworld to get cast on that film. I am not joking look both of those whores up. Jennifer Love Hewitt is hotter than both those bitches combined. Check out her photos here:

Also, when you cut and paste teh address and then press enter and if it doesn't take you to the site than remove "%20" from the web address since it doesn't belong there and then enjoy squirting your cum all over Jennifer Love Hewitt on your monitor : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -
http://tinyurl.com/dddq8j - she has the looks, she's young enough. Athletic, looks good in a leather outfit ( hey she was wearing a red leather outfit in smallville ( small geek cred). used to action scenes. feisty. would need to seriously work on the accent. job done
-
FAMKE JANSEN
-
all over Blunt.
-
how about Script Girl?
-
Blunt has the right look for the character and she would have been awesome in the role. Favs should really reconsider if this was a decision on his part. He will be very hard pressed to find an actress who can pull off the badass sexiness that is the Black Widow.
-
He said Fox exercised an option on her. So it wasn't his call. In fact, he wouldn't even make a statement about it unless he was pursuing her. So obviously he wanted her.
-
She's tougher than all of them.
-
She plays the lead on a TV show. What is the shooting schedule for the movie? Could she even do both?

Dushku - Good casting. Now what's going on with Mickey Rourke?
by hallmitchell
I liked the Hilary Swank a few years back to.
-
You'd think AICN would know about that fraud and not use his "artwork" as references.
-
She'd really have to prove herself in the auditions. There's a huge difference between TV acting and Movie acting. Not saying she's not good. I think she's proving herself with Dollhouse but she's still too one note for films. And J-Love deserves a comeback too but I don't see it. Thanks for the pics though.
-
would make my day. Also she would would make me feel better about the $13 I had to pay. (I swear I didn't rhyme that shit on purpose, I just flow like that)
-
That's actually a good idea. God knows what Russians and others from that area think when they hear foreigners trying to do a Russian accent.
-
http://supermodels.nl/nataliavodianova -
She just doesn't fit the roll.Just doesn't have the look. A few kicks on Dollhouse doesn't mean she's physically capable of playing the widow either.
-
http://tinyurl.com/b5xoaa
-
That lowball $250K offer doesn't look so bad, now that Mickey lost the Oscar. If he's smart he'll make as much money as fast as he can before he slides back into obscurity.
-
wait .... --.... what
-
so I hope he learns and say, "you know 250K will buy a lot of plastic surgery"
-
FAVREAU has been replaced. That's what needs to change.
-
I feel kind of band that Emily Blunt won't be playing the role. It sounds like it could have been a real breakout part for her.
Guess I'm still wondering... is there going to be a Hawkeye in the movie or not? I still think that Sam Rockwell would have been an awesome Clint Barton. Maybe Jensen Ackles? -
Nothing scream issue laden like a beautiful woman who seeks to draw EXTRA attention to herself by adding hoops, studs and tats. I bet that Babe get on top, take in anal, and weep while calling you daddy..her tears falling like sweet, sexual rain on your face. Oh..an Actress for BW? I'm with the folks that say CAST A REAL RUSSIAN...that country is FULL of hot women..has to be at least ONE decent actress in the lot.
-
Robert Downey Jr.? This film has doomed written all over it.
-
I mean, just look at the ultra hot comic book chick.....and then look at those three (in comparison) ugly bitches. Eliza fucking Dushku? C'mon! Scarlett meh Johansson? Wtf?!?!Thanks, but no, thanks.
-
Lower your expectations. Marvel Studios wont even pay for the talent that made the first film a hit...you think they're going to shell out the cash to hire more big name talent for the sequel. This film is going to wind up looking like a direct-to-dvd sci-fi cheapie if Marvel Studios doesnt get their head out of their ass and learn how to play Hollywood ball....
-
The BOW is a very action oriented character. Not a pose and point one.
Johansson is spongy soft looking and i doubt she can even run like an athlete convincingly -
didn't check what my spell checker did.
BOW = BW -
If you know what I mean. Oh wait this is a funny book TB never mind.
-
ends up with Happy Hogan. I suppose they want a character for Stark to bang who isn't low profile (plus BW has been in The Avengers roster often). Though I do agree the character would be better in a DD reboot.
-
I haven't seen the new Bond so don't know how her acting is.How about Rachel Weisz? Here she is in black PVC: http://tinyurl.com/d3dm54
-
...well, just based on her looks, she is kind of perfect. Though as soon as she opened her mouth or threw a punch I'd pobably stop believing her in the role. Dushku can't act, and Scarlett is just all together wrong for the role. Just find a fresh face, there are PLENTY of actresses out there who will look good in the role, so just grab one that we can believe. This movie has enough talent and money behind it that it doesn't have to try to find a "name" to pull in whatever minor fanbase might be associated with it.
-
Shove those shitty movie up your ass Paramount.

I have to say I wouldn't like Scarlet J for the role
by righteousbrother
and Motoko - you're a twat.
-
Maybe she should turn up to Favreau's office dressed in black spandex. Cast Carice Van Houten and be done with it. PS. This Iron Man casting rumour mill is getting really annoying.
-
Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Dollhouse only has 3 more episodes before the axe comes down. Count it.
-
Hot, Hot, Hot!
-
dushku got her start in movies...wtf are you talking about i just dont understand why you guys dont think she is perfect for the role look at the fucking ass
-
Feb 24, 2009 3:29:46 AM CST
Last time I saw Dushku was in Bring it on.
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That was about 8 years ago. I remembered she was smoking hot. Then I watched the pilot of Dollhouse and she is fucking horrendous and cannot act her way out of a paper bag. How she can go from smoking hot to horrendous in 8 years is beyond me. The show sucks as well and will get shitcanned pronto.
-
Anyone else think Keeley Hawkes, fresh from Life on Mars sequel, Ashes to Ashes would be a good, if left field choice for the role. She's unknown in the US, which means she doesn't come with baggage ala ScarJo or Eliza, she's in her 30s which means she could have a wonderful feud with Paltrow (before you know leaving her tied up in a warehouse, as the Widow is wont to do :) and therefore it's believable she's a superspy with years of training and finds RD Jr hot...
-
Straight ones, anyway.
-
Oh how we all love that argument.
-
She doesn't belong in a movie with the likes of Robert Downey Jr. or even Gwenyth Paltrow. (She may only have a small role, but the girl can act dammit.)
Eliza should stick to tv, and only move to films when the right lesbian porn script lands on her doorstep in a gooey spunk encrusted bundle. -
i hate both of them with a passion.
-
She did really well as a spy chick on Alias, plus she was hot without being super-model hot. She's good at accents too. I could totally buy her as Natasha.
-
Perfect choice she has that ability to be fearless with her sexuality while also able to play a highly expressive villain character...
-

More importantly... Fox screws over another movie
by spifftacular squirrel girl
Eeeeeeeviiiiiil.
Wasn't Rebecca Romijn rumored to play Black Widow in a seperate film years ago just right after X-Men came out?
Now if you'll excuse me; I apparently have to do lesbian stuff now. Good call, Mr. Gorilla.
-
...failed FOX series, no way and Scarlett Johanson can't act. Can you really imagine her trying to do a Russian accent? And would you even want to?
-
oh, never mind.
-
dushku just aint badass enough and i dont think she has the chops.
-
now shes a mega badass!! too expensive for marvel tho.
-
the sky did not fall today.. stop the press!!!

Theresa Russell as Black Widow! (She Mates, She Kills)
by flim springfield
-
I'd like to see Rourke get the part he was up for in Iron Man 2 and I'd like to see Jackson have a role. As aesthetically pleasing to the eye as Scarlett Johanson is, I don't think she belongs in Iron Man 2, her acting is always kinda off, and her deep man voice is weird.

Are there only seven good-looking women in Hollywood these days?
by kesoze4
In this entire thread I've heard Blunt, Johanssen, Dushku, Beckinsale, Jennifer Love Hewitt (promoted endlessly by some crazy publicist of hers), Garner, Jovovich, and Gurylenko (which I like). Almost all of whom have already worn black leather and done backflips. Is that all the imagination you have?
-
to play the Black Widow. Or Megan Fox. Naked.
-
But instead of making her Russian, make her Greek, and fat, and ugly. Problem solved. I heard she currently just wrapped up the sequel, "My Big Fat Greek Ass" so she has the time.
-
cast that hot ass olga girl from Quantum of Solace, Hitman, and Max Payne as Black Widow.
-
I DUNNO LOL
-
...she was the hot chick in "The Dreamers" and the sexpot to Daniel Craig's James Bond in "Casino Royale".
-
Different take.
-
or Gloria Stuart... whichever.
-
Mom's basement must have flooded.
-
I would pick Dushku. I like Johansen, and given the right director she can act, but superhero films don't need big stars. It's better to stick with someone who has yet to break out. Besides, you don't need major stars to make Iron Man 2 a major hit, well, except for Robert Downey Junior.
-
I like that idea. And a non-American actress too would be refreshing. If they can't find one hot Eastern European women with some acting and action chops they are not looking very hard. Even if her English is not so hot, it's cool because she is playing a Russian. They could even get a French or Italian actress. Maybe someone like Eva Green.
-
For giving me quite possibly the hottest pic I've EVER seen of ScarJo. Enough with the blonde stuff, stick with this midwestern mall girl look! Mmmmmph!
-
Will Smiff
If your not comfortable with that, your a racist -
Sure, she's not as hot as others mention, but she's definately believable as a war hardened assassin. But make her eat a cheese burger or two first, there is such a thing as too thin.
-
Or else Linda Carter...
-
What's up with him???
-
She'd make a brilliant Black Widow. She practically was her in Goldeneye.
-
For sure. I love Johansen, but not for this.
-
Tint her hair red a bit, bam.
-
in tight fitting black leather or spandex. I would pay to see that. or catwoman. She should be in superhero movie. WOnder woman.
-
Then it proves the strength of satellite radio. GET IT DONE, FAVS!!

Sike, that girl's fucked up more comic book properties than I don't know what.

Compare ANY Jenifer Garner action scene to a similar Sarah Michelle Gellar or Eliza Dushku scene. They're terible. Garner would DESTROY BOTH of them simultaneously. But the Wheedon girls would skewer her with quippy pop-culture dialog.

With great suggestions comes great responsiblity
by brotherhood of eternal sleep
I really like the Olga Kuryleno suggestion. I mean she is super hot. I am also digging the Asia Argento pick. I mean these are two entirely different kind of women, but both could play the role. It all depends whether you want a crazy vicious Black Widow, or a sexy sleek one. I think Dushku could be a possible candidate, but she needs to make herself look a little different than the leather clad vixen from the jay and silent bob movie. Famke... nice one, she matches Downeys age too...
Overall I am going with Olga and some good old American made cutlets FTW. -
I actually sat through Hitman after catching it on cable and hoping every scene that she would be gratiutiously nude yet again.
-
Amen to that Brother!
-
olga has always been my first choice. so obvious, i gotta think they past on her already. mylene melts iron. its true.
-
Dushku did good work on BtVS, and seems to be doing well on Dollhouse. Scarlett could probably also pull it off... either babe would be hot :)
-
That's when it's probably not a good idea to let them have it. The ones that act all aloof and like assholes who do it because "it seems to have some depth" ironically end up being the best ones for the job.
-
The Russian porn star, Vikka. She even wears a Black Window-ish costume in the movie DIVA. And she has the accent.
Google it when not at work, You will see what I am talking about.
Of course I've never seen her really ACT..
-
I don't know how many Russian girls any of you have met...but I've yet to see one of them under 5'6" or so...most are pretty tall. Hewitt is smokin hot...but just not leggy enough..PLUS, her acting range is limited to "nice" and "Sweet". Does the girl even know what "hard" or "Fucking Professional" is?Scarlett is wrong...to Monroe-ish..and can't act, Megan Fox has the look...but is possibly the worst actress in the world today, really a fucking Amateur..as an actress anyway. Nope..go find a REAL Russian babe to play the part...
-
Ok, everybody knows that 90 % of the regular talkbackers are whiney douchebags and trolls, but seriously...praising Eliza "can't act worth a shit" Dushku and dissing Scarlett Johansson as talentless? Have this people even seen Lost in Translation or did they fall asleep after they came during the opening shot of her ass?
-
Feb 24, 2009 9:51:16 AM CST
Eliza Dushku, what are you willing to do to get the part?
by leafar the lost
Eliza Dushku, who plays a whore on "Dollhouse,” told Howard Stern 10 days ago that she wanted the role real bad. If I were doing the casting for Ironman 2, I call her into my office, lock the door, and then I would ask her a few questions, "What are you willing to do to get this part? Why should I cats you over a more fanous actress like Scarlett Johansson or Jessica Alba? Will you show me just how bad you want to be the Black Widow?"
-
The print I saw of that had visible boom mics dropping into frame so frequently I thought I was looking at a mockumentary. But then, where the fuck were the laughs?
Then I thought maybe Sofia Coppola was just the worst fucking director to hit the planet since Kevin Smith last took a dump.
Eventually, I was told that the print was the problem, but by then, I was way past caring.
So Scarlett didn't impress me in that movie. Nor did her ass. But I'd still say she's the better actress any day of the week.
And if you think 90% of talkbackers are praising Eliza and dissing Scarlett, you must have sucked sooooooooo hard at math. -
if the boom mic is dropping into shot the projector hasn't adjusted the projection gate properly.
-
sweet sweet Olga, she combines the radiant european beauty and charisma of Eva Green with the unfettered and shameless desire to get naked.
-
Nope, I just said that "90 % of the regular talkbackers are whiney douchebags and trolls". If you wan't prove for that just look in a Watchmen related talkback. Beeing a douche or a troll doesn't equal prefering Dushku over Scarlett. That's just bad taste. ;)
-
Marvel wants young so they'll miscast with Johansson, they want someone who will be the right age, the right look, they should go with Jolene Blalock.
-
in favour of doing non-action roles.
-
OK...asinine comment aside: Milla isn't a half bad choice (and completely expected) but I'd be halfway interested to see Ann Hathaways take on it (for shits and giggles). So long as it's not Kate "I'm so humbled...I never ecpected to win!" Winslett, I'm fine with it.
-
Uh...give her four weeks in a gym with a trainer, put her in a corset, and you'll soon see how perfect she would look in the role.
-
She's from that region, doesn't have to fake an accent, has the looks.
-
I just rewatched it and didn't like it nearly as much as the first time. The best thing about the movie is Downey Jr. and I don't think that is enough. The story was nothing special at all. This franchise has no legs.
-
she's amazing in "You're Beautiful"
-
The "Blunt" who sings "You're Beautiful"...
IS A DUDE?!?!
O.o -

It's not just about being hot, actually it's less about being ho
by lanemyersclassic
than it is about acting ability. Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect example of how acting trumps type. Emily would be absolutely right for this role b/c of her talent. the fact that she's also hot pulls her away from most out there.
-
She looked like a mature action star. I'm serious.

Is that I really think her performances depend on who she's working with (mainly director). That might be an inconsistent and sort of unprofessional way of acting (I think)...but, when she's with a great director...she gives great performances. When she's working with less than...she gives less than. Same goes for Ewan McGregor and others...

I had fun w/ Iron Man, and I'm no fanboy of the character or Avengers...but geezus if Olga isn't actually the Black Widow. I was thinking of her (again!) as I read this board, and was glad so many other smart people suggested her. My god is she hot, but in this case she's a perfect Widow too. I'd actually pay to see just a BW movie with her in it! Forget just IM2, she has blue chip spinoff potential!

In the history of homosexual literature, "she's too curvy" may well be the gayest of all time.

Smoking hot in QUANTUM OF SOLACE and she carried herself off well as a spy. What's not to love?
-
her alien head, squinty eyes, pointed chin and ugly nose = not hot.

Seriously....does anyone give a fuck about Iron Man2?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
I liked the first one in the theater. Its fucking boring and cheap feeling at home. And I have already lost all interest in the character. Who the fuck cares? Anyone.....anyone?
-
if Sam can be Fury, why the hell not?
-
Not going to do it since she's already been a very similar character. Face it, 1) looks good in leather/vinyl, 2) could pass off as a model, 3) can act, 4) can move like the Widow... has in fact already done so - Kate Beckinsale. Selene in Underworld was essentially a vampire version of the Widow.
-
Blunt is pitch perfect casting. She's beautiful, but looks stone cold. They'll get some soft, blandly good looking actress and it will suck hard.
-
Blunt was perfect. Now we'll end up with ScarJo who is wrong.
-
There's no fucking discussion! If Marvel Studios is as cheap as they seem, they won't get Scarlett or anyone big. And Olga is ACTUALLY a Ruskie!
-
flashback. She's just not big enough for a movie of this caliber.

пFavreau: Olga Kurylenko озволит Вам сосать на ее пальцах ноги!
by catlettuce4
Она - Богиня! Забудьте эти другие свиньи!

An I the only one who thinks Scarlett Johansson is probably not even the prettiest girl in the pub let alone the world?
-
Olga Kurylenko would be immense.
Second choice = Eva Green. -
There's just something about her. Anyone else get that icky feeling?
-
I get the impression that the BW isn't a petite little woman but a bit more statuesque.
If Mila has bounced back from her pregancy (she got really big) she'd be a good choice.
Got the looks, the stature, built in accent and can act. -
ahe's proven time and again she can do the action stuff
-
...Just check out the old Batman TV series and you'll know I'm right.
-
oh yes...
-
If you did, most of these suggestions wouldn't have been posted. The character can't be played by anyone that looks like they're under 35 years old.
-
So, there's that.

blunt miss out is a shame but scralett is hot and up for the job
by mildstussy
i think scarlett is a good job, first she is good actress, in most of films she so outstanding ability to change her character. and she is also so hot, clearly most men would surely agree that she is fine. so one said she is two curvey or whatever she will definatly change her shape and style for the movie, she will make the character worth watching and not just a fine body. blunt would have been great but i think scartlett is to beautiful to miss up the cahnce to see her in skin tight leathers!!!
