Chalk this up as rumour as it is still early days for Iron Man 3 – they want to get The Avengers out of the way – and the fact the reporter at The Daily Mail isn’t too hot on the whol Avengers thing.
They are saying that Marvel Studios want Emily Blunt to play the villain in Iron Man 3. Blunt had been one of the favourites to play the Black Widow, but she had to turn it down and it went to Scarlett Johannson.
Here is the news from the Mail.
Now I hear producers are planning to give Scarlett her own role in a break-out movie and are also hoping to land British star Emily Blunt to play the villain in the next Iron Man instalment.
‘The plan is to cast Scarlett as the Black Widow in a spin-off film with Robert Downey Jnr called The Avengers,’ says a source.
‘They are desperate to have Emily as the villain in the next Iron Man film and will continue to have Gwyneth playing Pepper, though she won’t feature in The Avengers.’
See, The Avengers is just a spin off film from Iron Man! They also mention that Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be in The Avengers.
Anyway, just a rumour as they don’t give any more details on the source, but if it does turn out to be true and your read it hear first, then remember that you read it hear first. Ah I love a good repetition.
Cheers to Chucky189 for sending me the news.
What Marvel comics villain could Blunt play if this did turn out to be true?
