Scarlett A Black Widow For Iron Man 2 ?
Fri, February 13, 2009 
Initially the role was set for Emily Blunt but scheduling conflicts have meant she will most likely have to pull out, then earlier this wee Eliza Dushku was peddling herself for the part on Howard Stern, now news comes from 'hollywoodinsider that the sexy and talented Scarlett Johansson is in talks for the role. Apparently she is interested and just awaiting a 100% confirmation that Blunt is out.
Now Iron Man 2 does not yet have a locked script and as far as I know neither Rourke nor Rockwell have actually signed on, plus there is no start date, but Scarlett would be an exciting addition to the cast, she's never really done action before, in fact her only action film to date is 'The Island' and she really only ran around in that.
I'm sure some will complain about her age or the fanboy classic "She's too famous" but personally I love this choice and hope it comes off.

Damn, that's intriguing! I absolutely LOVED the idea of Blunt as Black Widow, and would have accepted Dushku, however this just makes me go Hmmmm.
