Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play the role of Natasha Romanoff in the "Iron Man" sequel. She's a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

As long as Hawkeye's in the next movie and they don't stuff up his character too much I'll be happy

EMILY BLUNT!!!

She was amazing in Devil wears Prada!

"EMILY BLUNT!!!

Who was she? I haven't seen that movie in forever."

That's who I thought. Yeah, I guess she could play Black Widow.

Okay, I can see that.  She has that deep English accicient so I think she can pull off a Russian voice.  But they can not mess up Mandarin.  They need an actor not to young but still in good shape but also has standout character.

MMMMM i like her for this role but the problem is..... is she up to it..... can she pull the tough yet sexy look of Natasha???? Is she physically fit to do it all.... Does she look good in leather? So many questions to look after...

Especially that last one... that could be a deal breaker


Lol

OH emily is a fantastic choice!!

she got the sass and the body! love it

Interestink, very, very interestink...

She could work.

"MMMMM i like her for this role but the problem is..... is she up to it..... can she pull the tough yet sexy look of Natasha???? Is she physically fit to do it all.... Does she look good in leather? So many questions to look after..."

She was red in Devil Wears Prada... but i'm loving that chocolate on her.

She's an excellent actress and would be great for the role. Though isn't the black widow Russian? She's British but that's what acting is all about being someone else. 

What the hell, you guys wnat mandarin as the main villain for Iron Man 2!?!?!?!? What are you talking about, he's just out-dated and the origin of his power is just friggin' lame, if they're going to put Mandarin on the sequel, they need to put him as Kaizen Gamorra

Or else... I will not watch the movie

I'd do her....I mean She'll do.

She has the looks to play the Black Widow but idk about her acting skills because i've never seen her act.

my question is can she pull off the russian accent and will to her hair.

She can pull it off i think. Certainly the look's right.

I don't understand this. The cast is in their forties/fifties with the exception of Gwyneth Paltrow. This has to be just a rumor, especially if they plan on having Natasha as a spy for the former SOVIET UNION. Emily Blunt is 25. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 - 18 years ago, making this possible Natasha 7 years old at the time of its dissolution.
No, they need to go with an older actress. Elizabeth Hurley, Uma Thurman, Emily Mortimer, Shawnee Smith.... Kelly Macdonald at the youngest.

Michael C Hall for Hawkeye :)

Um, GP is in this??

Yes, she is attached for three movies.... but then, so was Terrence Howard.

I think she could pull it off, but I do hope that they color her hair and do not use a wig... as for the age thing. That's what stasis if for right? :p lol

"Yes, she is attached for three movies.... but then, so was Terrence Howard."

I think she could pull it off, and if not they could always give the character a little... upgrade, to better match

Shell do just fine, but we are missing the best part, i mean sam jackson may not be in this. If this has any truth to it i could cry. i mean he sucks, he would just yell at tony, IRON MAN IM NICK FURY  IM FROM SHIELD WE WILL HELP YOU! ick, i really want them to ditch him he sucks, and is over priced.  Hawkeye, well he's a tough person but id like to see Nathan Fillion he's underated and pretty cool (firefly ). or maybe Kevin McKidd but meh dont really care as long as they  will for my sake boot samuel jackson

I think Marvel should give her a change to play as Black Widow. I'm wondering who will play as Manderan
the guy with the ten powerful rings,because he is the villain in the movie.

only one thing i care about is that the movie better be awesome like the first and hawkeye would be cool to see.

Yeah, Emily would be cool....but I'd much rather see Izabella Scorupco play Natasha.

Wonder if she'll take it if they try offering the $250,000 that Marvel allegedly offered Rourke and Jackson.

UPDATE:

Box office gold maybe but if Marvel is indeed only offering $250,000 (as allegedly was offered to Mickey Rourke), she might've been offered more for this.

UPDATE:

Uh oh.  Looks like she's doing "Gulliver's Travels" instead with Jack Black.  Hmmmm...wonder which will have the bigger box office sales?

Here's the DETAILS."

Wow there's another crap agent besides the one of Tom Weilling

what happened with TOm welling?"

@NH, omg your kidding?? he needs a new agent.. though they may have been trying to steer him away from being type cast.

@Esther, i agree.. that movie needed something more

Being in Iron Man 2 would lead to Avengers and possibly Iron Man 3.  Her agents are trying to swing it so she can do both.  Maybe it'll work out.  It'd suck if FOX made her be in Gulliver's Travels.  Forcing an actor would cause them to give a crummy performance if they're not fully committed. 

And I'm not much of a Jack Black fan either.
