What next ? Favereau fired and Snyder in ? Harry loose 25 pounds at a SXSW Nashville Pussy gig pogoing in the audience ?
saw drew on attack of the show this week.. by Bouncy X	Mar 15th, 2009 11:55:27 AM
yeah, he looks pretty much like i expected. lol
Yeah, ScarJo is in as Widow. by fiester	Mar 15th, 2009 11:59:16 AM
Hey, maybe she'll surprise us all and do a kick-ass job. It's not like this property needs big names to get it off the ground, so presumably the director can cast whoever he likes, and if he thinks she can do it, maybe she can. We'll have to wait and see.
Drew needs new glasses by Star Hump	Mar 15th, 2009 12:02:56 PM
and don't do Avengers, Jon. You have a family right? Iron Man 2 is enough. It's just the Avengers, Not really that significant in the big scheme of things.
Fuck ScarJo as Black Widow by D.Vader	Mar 15th, 2009 12:04:26 PM
I'm not a big fan of hers, but especially not a fan of her taking roles that she is just absolutely wrong for.
scarjo is way too young by lex romero	Mar 15th, 2009 12:06:48 PM
iron man was one of the first superhero films with adult (AKA people over 30) superheroes and villians. The Black Widow, whilst they can't do her cold war background (she'd be well into her 50s if they did that) is meant to be an adult, a grown woman who has been trained for years as a spy. Scar jo isn't even 25 yet ffs! She's way too young and doesn't fit with the rest of the cast or the character she's meant to be playing. It needed someone like kate beckinsale in the role. (she already has the leather and she speaks russian!)
Did anyone see this on DarkHorizons??? by TheMark	Mar 15th, 2009 12:06:59 PM
They confirmed Rourke playing Whiplash--but they're combining that character with Crimson Dynamo.
crimson whiplash? by lex romero	Mar 15th, 2009 12:18:59 PM
Hmm interesting, soo that means they'll go with him being one of Stark's workers who gets given the whiplash technology by that justin hammer..but he also gets an iron man like suit? Hmm but Rourke isn't the kind of guy who comes across as playing an intelligent dude who works for stark...so maybe some kind of old soviet soldier who gets recruited by hammer and given the tech? Work in the black widow, maybe trying to get him to steal some of iron man's armour for the russians? Hmm. I'm guessing they're doing it to make the villian more interesting and so he doesn't just end up being russian iron man fighting normal iron man, otherwise we may end up with a repeat of the first films finale. I'd still like them to work in the manderin. If Thor and iron man are going to be in the same universe why is Faveraeu complaining about iron man being too "real" for magic? Just have the manderin have alien technology rings like his ret-con gives him. Then it's not magic. And it would look awesome seeing a dude with no armour or anything beating the crap out of iron man.
"ScarJo" has to be careful by ZoeFan	Mar 15th, 2009 12:23:49 PM
First..."ScarJo"..that's an awful nickname. Anyway, Scarlett has to be careful not to do too many movies and turn herself into the Samuel L. Jackson of actresses. That being, someone who is good at their craft, yet decides to do a billion movies thus rendering their amazing talent not so amazing as they show up in every other movie that comes out.
Scarlett Johansson is a terrible choice by fozzco	Mar 15th, 2009 12:43:27 PM
My enthusiasm for this movie has diminished significantly with the announcement that Scarlett Johansson will be playing Black Widow. I wish they would have cast someone more mature...preferably in their 30s to play this role and not some kid. She's going to look ridiculously out of place trying to look and act like a seasoned Russian spy. All I can hope for now is that Black Widow is a very small role and she won't be in the movie that much. :(
who is playing hawkeye? by alice 13	Mar 15th, 2009 12:56:24 PM
have names surfaced for that yet?
The chick from BSG would have been a better Widow. by dailysportspages	Mar 15th, 2009 01:05:19 PM
Her role in the short lived Bionic Woman show was great for this type of material.
"ScarJo" (I hate nicknames like that, btw.) by Mr Spork	Mar 15th, 2009 01:08:26 PM
makes me not want to see the movie. Yeah, she's hot; but she is also a shitty actress.
Should have Hawkeye in this. by mrfan	Mar 15th, 2009 01:12:27 PM

Stephanie Romanov for Black Widow by Amadeo Zeller	Mar 15th, 2009 01:12:41 PM
She played Lilah Morgan in Angel. She has that whole Femme Fatale vibe going for her + the physicality and acting chops to carry that role. Alexa Davalos would be my second choice.
THIS is news? by GeorgieBoy	Mar 15th, 2009 01:22:45 PM
Gotta do better than a non-story. Jeez. Stop grasping at straws AICN.
Not ScarJo the minger. by scottishnutjob	Mar 15th, 2009 01:39:39 PM
Scarlett Johansonn is such a bad actress and she's not even hot. She's got a fat nose, a weak chin and frequently looks stupid. Easily the weakest thing in The Prestige. Seriously I see much better looking girls walking down the street in Scotland than I do in Hollywood movies right now. Talented eye candy please. Iron Man 2 is doomed.
FUCK YEAH HAWKEYE! by Squidgy_Faced_Vigilante	Mar 15th, 2009 01:43:30 PM
Get him cast and get him into the Marvel films bunch! He would be an instant crowd-pleaser if casted and performed true to character. Get 'er done!
I absolutely HATE the 'it's too magical' defense. by TheMark	Mar 15th, 2009 01:57:26 PM
Seriously? We're doing a movie about a guy in a powered suit who can fly and do other things that are entirely impossible...but the idea of a mystic man is too farfetched? All it takes is quality writing. Can we just say that Justin Theroux can't write a script that keeps the OTT magic elements a bit more grounded? 'Cause that's all i'm hearing! (not that i'm saying Theroux can't, but I think you guys get my point)
better girls in scotland by The_Exterminator	Mar 15th, 2009 02:21:01 PM
yeah right...theyre all mingers up there
I see much better looking girls walking down the street in Scotl by CanYouFlySucka	Mar 15th, 2009 02:37:30 PM
I believed you up until "in Scotland".
Whiplash was a lame villain by FullBloodedScot	Mar 15th, 2009 02:47:27 PM
Like out of 1950's Batman comics or something. And making him a combo with Dynamo is even lamer. Why not just have Crimson fucking Dynamo? He is Iron Man's soviet counterpart, and their fight would be less ridiculous than the Iron Monger fight from the first movie. OH, and get that dark haired "Jackie" bitch from that 70's show to be Widow. She's actually from eastern europe.
Can She Show Her Boobs Then? by Frodo T. Baggins	Mar 15th, 2009 02:51:06 PM
Just sayin. Shes going to have to do it sooner or later...
I said it before, i'll say it again.... by conspiracy	Mar 15th, 2009 03:04:04 PM
Scarlett is WRONG for this role. Not super athletic looking, in fact Scarlett is simply TOO feminine..Too Monroe-ish. The character needs Lithe, lean, a ballerina with a killer instinct. Also...get a REAL Russian for Russian parts, Russians LOVE the arts...there HAVE to be some GREAT Russian actors actresses out there who not only could use a big break in Hollywood...but could bring an honesty to these characters no American can.
Russian Actresses by CanYouFlySucka	Mar 15th, 2009 03:13:24 PM
One of the chicks from Daywatch. The chick that drove the car up the building.
Bad Casting Choices by BestBoy	Mar 15th, 2009 03:28:56 PM
Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow may even be worse than the casting for MJ, and Gwen in the Spider-Man movies. It's up there with Keaton as Batman, and Nicholas Cage almost playing Supes. Don't get the idea of what they're planning with Whiplash, and Mickey Rourke at all. Don't like Don Cheadle in the mix either. My enthusiasm for this film is really taking a major hit.
That's so money! by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	Mar 15th, 2009 03:40:15 PM

SCARLETT JOHANSSON, ACTION STAR by Mullah Omar	Mar 15th, 2009 03:56:52 PM
bursts out laughing
ok so we know nothing by walrusholder	Mar 15th, 2009 03:58:13 PM
thanks for the news
In todays' Hollywood by Amadeo Zeller	Mar 15th, 2009 04:13:34 PM
The only time you see hot bitches, is in straight to DVD or Skinamx movies. These casting directors and producers are still working under the assumption that just because a bitch is hot, she can't act, hence, the disreepect that Jessica Alba or Megan Fox receives in regards to their thespian talents. I believe that most hot bitches are one decent script away from becoming a great actress...But until then, we'll have to endure the typical casting of these ugly hoes like Gwenneth Paltrow, Jennifer Anniston, Julia Roberts and etc. Hollywood has too many hatin' azz female casting directors and low self-esteem producers who're self-consciously getting back at all the hot cheerleaders who re-buffed their amorous advances back in H.S. & College, by exclusively casting these horse face, turkey neck bitches as leading ladies. How else do y'all explain Sam Raimi casting that ugly bitch who played M.J. in Spiderman? Real hetersexual muthafuckas' gotta take charge of Hollywood and make some changes. REAL TALK!

Porn star Nakita Denise by FullBloodedScot	Mar 15th, 2009 04:32:03 PM
who looks like widow, is actually from somewhere "over there" (near Russia), has a deep eastern eurotrash accent - and will blow Downey and all the crew for cheap. Get her.
Marketa Brymova is the perfect Black Widow by alienindisguise	Mar 15th, 2009 04:33:53 PM
as shitty as most of the acting in hollywood is, why not hire porn stars?
Sorry, Amadeo Zeller, but Jessica Alba... by BestBoy	Mar 15th, 2009 04:35:45 PM
hot though she may be, cannot act to save her life. Megan Fox just has to stand there looking pretty, and I'm happy with that.
Marketa Brymova by FullBloodedScot	Mar 15th, 2009 04:38:10 PM
Is really hot, and not as tore-up and drugged-out looking as Nakita. We gotta get Downey to see her, and demand that she co-star with him. Then Rob can fall off the wagon with a fine chick...
Amy Reid can play Black Widow by Amadeo Zeller	Mar 15th, 2009 04:38:26 PM
Hell she's from Eaatern Europe, and has one of the best bodies and natural tits in porn.
NEEDS GIANT ROBOTS by Sal_Bando	Mar 15th, 2009 04:55:59 PM
MORE MORE MORE WE NEED MORE
Mmmmm......Amy Reid.... by Carpet_Pisser	Mar 15th, 2009 05:01:27 PM
That is all
Sounds like TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION! by Motoko Kusanagi	Mar 15th, 2009 05:31:23 PM
nah, not really
So is the 3rd time AICN is or is not confirming Rourke..what a j by SomaShine	Mar 15th, 2009 06:39:09 PM

who would've ever thought by juice willis	Mar 15th, 2009 07:03:26 PM
that the "blow me where the pampers is" guy would end up running shit? hollywood is a strange place fo sho.
Don Cheadle must be happy Scarlett's getting cast by BurgerKing	Mar 15th, 2009 07:57:14 PM
So now the nerds can take out their nerd-rage on her, completely forgetting they hated him 2 minutes earlier. Typical.
Go Fav!!! by JDanielP	Mar 15th, 2009 07:59:09 PM
That is all.
What did we learn in this TB? Fans dont want ScarJo by D.Vader	Mar 15th, 2009 09:25:06 PM
Take heed, Favreau. The fans have spoken. BAD IDEA.
scottishnutjob - too far mate, too far! by Brody77	Mar 16th, 2009 03:36:38 AM
Though I do agree on Scarlett - plus I think she's a hound. Isn't she basically famous for having big tits she never shows? So kinda like Lucy Pinder but not as good looking?
"Hate Boner" by malificus	Mar 16th, 2009 04:34:30 AM
That was some funny shit. Too bad they couldn't find some exotic, unknown Russian hottie to play the Widow. They sign an unknown for like a 3 picture option deal if she takes off she can star in a Widow flick alone and they can own her from the git-go. ScarJo is a shitty choice, she's got a silly-assed face and has been over rated since day one.
Olga Kurylenko is perfect by ominus	Mar 16th, 2009 08:30:30 AM
for the Black Widow she wouldnt even have a problem to do a hardcore sex scene with tony stark,..eer provided that the film wasnt pg13.
Scary Jo by TedKordLives	Mar 16th, 2009 06:18:57 PM
Much better nickname. It's what I call her when she's riding on my bone. And by bone, I of course mean riding in the Bug, my amazing anti-grav airship. Shaped like a beetle. And she's probably the worst casting ever for Black Widow. I'd prefer Abe Vigoda in skintight leather before ScaryJo as Black Widow.
