So who will be the next big-name actor to join the cast of Iron Man 2? Marvel Studios remains mum on details, but sources say Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) could play a lead character named Natasha, who goes by several aliases, including the Black Widow. Blunt is apparently one of many actresses the fillmmakers are considering, though she’s believed to be the front-runner. In other Iron Man 2 news, comeback kid Mickey Rourke is in discussions to play a villain, but he’s also negotiating a part in Sylvester Stallone’s actioner The Expendables, which is scheduled to shoot at the same time. While Rourke is hoping to be in both, scheduling conflicts may force him to make some tough decisions.

If Rourke knows whats good for him he better choose Iron man…
Blunt is amazing and would be a welcome addition…And Rourke is obviously having a banner year and would be amazing as well in either picture. It’s too bad he might have to choose. Although I’m sure he is on his knees thanking God for the option of choice.
Ooo…Emily Blunt would be great as the Black Widow; she’s slender and beautiful but is also a smart actress, two qualities a super-spy/acrobat needs!
Oops..make that three qualities
Why? So he can be replaced in Iron Man 3?
