Black Widow Will Not Appear in 'Iron Man 3'

Despite earlier reports, it turns out she won't have a role in the film.

The Avengers is almost here and it seems everyone has nothing but good things to say about it. In one of the various clips released, we got to see some pretty cool Black Widow action. The more we see of her, the more impressed we get.

Last month word came out that Black Widow would be appearing in Iron Man 3. It wasn't an official release but apparently the character and Scarlett Johansson were listed on a casting sheet along with Gwynth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Don Cheadle as Rhodey/War Machine. We've been hearing rumblings about filming taking place in China along with some other scientist-type characters being cast. Adding in Black Widow could take the movie in a different direction. Now it seems that won't be the case.

In an interview for The Avengers at Screen Rant, Johansson mentioned she will not be the movie but is hoping to be in her own movie. She mentioned that the solo movie could have a Jason Bourne-esque feel to it. That would definitely bring the Marvel Movies to a different place. There has been talk of a solo Black Widow movie before. Perhaps we may end up seeing it after all.
