Scarlett Johansson to Star in Iron Man 2?

Entertainment Weekly is reporting the rumor that Scarlett Johansson is in discussions with Marvel Studios to replace Emily Blunt for the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow, in Iron Man 2.

Blunt's commitment to 20th Century Fox and the studio's upcoming Gulliver's Travels may prohibit her from co-starring in the superhero sequel.

Marvel will not confirm, but sources tell EW that Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role. Blunt's reps are still trying to make both projects work, but "Gulliver's" is further along, with a start date of April 15. Iron Man 2 still doesn't have a shooting script and a start date has not yet been determined.

I'd rather than Eliza Dushku but...

That's really amusing based on Lexi's PB for Black Widow! I think Scarlett is a good choice though. It should be worth seeing if everything works out.

Nice catch, Vil! :xyxthumbs:

^^ lol I was just thinking the same thing. And also how the characters last name is Romanoff and Lexi's is Davidoff.

hmm the idea of Eliza Dushku REALLY appeals to me but the fact that Scarlett is being considered for the character and given how Lexi plays "Black Widow" in the six...yeah thats just one HELL of a coincidence LOL!

its just like how Marvel has just NOW decided to create a "Sisterhood" which is led by a RED QUEEN (instead of the "White Queen" as it appears in the Six)
