Emily Blunt is Black Widow

The super-sexy (Just something about her, don’t ya think?) Emily Blunt, probably best known as Anne Hathaway’s snooty adversary in “The Devil Wears Prada”, is eyeing a date with Tony Stark’s metal phizog.

Blunt’s up for the role of ‘Black Widow’ – aka Natasha Romanoff, soviet superspy – in “Iron Man 2” (what a great cast this thing has! Downey! Cheadle! Paltrow! Rourke! Rockwell! and potentially, Tim Robbins!), according to Variety.

In the comic-world, Romanova/Black Widow attempted to seduce American defense contractor Tony Stark and inevitably confronts his superhero alter ego, Iron Man. Later, Romanova defected to the United States and eventually joins the super-team the Avengers as a costumed superhero.

Going by that, one might expect to see Blunt reprising the role for the forthcoming “Avengers” film.
