Scarlett Johansson replaces Blunt in Iron Man 2

[Paxton]

British actress Emily Blunt is set to miss out on a coveted role in the forthcoming Iron Man sequel - Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in talks to play femme-fatale the Black Widow.

Blunt was widely tipped to take on the part of Russian spy Natasha Romanoff in the follow-up of the 2008 blockbuster.

But The Devil Wears Prada star faces a scheduling conflict, after signing up to act alongside funnyman Jack Black in a new movie version of Gulliver's Travels.

And Johansson is now close to agreeing a deal to step into the breach on the forthcoming Iron Man sequel, according to Entertainment Weekly.

eh..but then again...I didn't think Gweneth wasn't a good fit for Pepper Potts when she was first cast....but I was proved wrong....now if they only pair her with Happy Hogan in the next movie.

Eva Green was born to play Black Widow, and she's a terrific actress!!!

Re: Scarlett Johansson replaces Blunt in Iron Man

It's not replacing when you were offered the role, and opted out to do something else.

Calm down, I'm just referring directly to the TITLE of the thread.
