Emily Blunt Is Maybe Possibly Black Widow
Don’t worry, kids–this isn’t one of those retarded British rumors. This comes from Variety, who says that Blunt is the front-runner to play the Russian assassin in Iron Man 2. I’m guessing that since Blunt’s a rather popular actress, if the notorious cheap Marvel is ponying up for her as opposed to some sexy no-name, the Black Widow will be of the friendly variety that helps/flirts with Tony and possibly ends up cameoing in the Avengers. 
That’s it, actually. Nothing else to say. Hope you don’t mind me padding out the article with those pics. Cough.
