Scarlett Johansson Or Eliza Dushku For Black Widow In Iron Man 2?

Until recently, actress Emily Blunt was tagged to play the Black Widow in the Iron Man sequel. It’s currently being reported that she may have to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Twentieth Century Fox’s Gulliver’s Travels, which she’s already contracted to star in.

Hearing this, Dollhouse actress Eliza Dushku took her case public while doing an interview on the Howard Stern Show. Dushku, who has both the look and the attitude to fit the role perfectly said to Howard Stern and his audience.

“They’re doing ‘Iron Man 2,’ and I’m so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into it. They need to understand I just learned Russian because I had to play a Russian girl in ‘Dollhouse.’”

She certainly seems to fit the bill, but you can’t trust Hollywood logic in these matters. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Iron Man director John Favreau and Marvel are currently looking at smokey voiced, blonde Scarlett Johansson to fill in.

"Marvel will not confirm, but sources around Hollywood say Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow."

Only time will tell which of these lovely ladies will be making the big screen as the Black Widow.
