At this rate, will there be any screen time for Iron Man in his upcoming sequel?
According to Variety, actress Emily Blunt is rumored to be director Jon Favreau’s choice to play Iron Man nemesis, Black Widow in “Iron Man 2.”
Black Widow is the super-villian identity of Natasha Romanoff, a Soviet superspy who wears a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry. Â
Should the casting rumor prove to be true, Blunt would join actor Mickey Rourke as villians facing Tony Stark’s Iron Man in the second installment. Also cast in the upcoming film is actor Tim Robbins as Tony Stark’s father.
Blount has appeared in “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Charlie Wilson’s War” and can be seen later this year in “The Wolf Man.”
Marvel Studios offered no comment on the casting rumor.Â
