There's finally a bit of an update regarding Iron Man 2, in particular the role of Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow (Russian secret agent super spy). EW have the news.Because Emily Blunt's commitment to Twentieth Century Fox and the studio's upcoming Gulliver's Travels movie may prohibit her from costarring in Iron Man 2, Marvel is in discussions with other actresses, most significantly Scarlett Johansson, to take her place, EW has learned exclusively. Marvel will not confirm, but sources around Hollywood say Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow. 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.
Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Buffy) had also appeared on the Howard Stern show recently and mentioned how much she would like the part.
“They’re doing Iron Man 2, and I’m so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into it. They need to understand… I just learned Russian because I had to play a Russian girl in Dollhouse.”Out of all of the people mentioned I do hope Blunt gets the scheduling sorted as I feel she would be best suited. Johanssen is just totally wrong for the part in my opinion and sounds like Marvel are jus going for a big name without thinking of the character involved. If Blunt can't do it I'd much rather see Dushku play Natasha as she has got the physical skills for the part.
If Blunt can't do it who do you want to see play Natasha? Dushku, Johanssen or someone else?
