Marvel is reportedly in discussions with other actresses. Marvel will not confirm it to EW, but Blunt’s representatives are still trying to make both projects work.
Scarlett Scarlett!!!!
Goodness. I hope not. It sounds like Marvel Studios has become smitten with celebrity casting.
Theres absolutely no reason why Scarlett woudn’t make one hell of a Black Widow.
Celebrity casting. Outside of looking good in the costume, Scarlett brings nothing to the team.
