Confirmed! Who Will Play Black Widow In Iron Man 2?
After a merry-go-round of actresses from Emily Blunt to Eliza Dushku, Iron Man 2 has finally found its Black Widow. Nikki Finke has confirmed that bombshell Scarlett Johannson will play the role not only in IM2 but also The Avengers and maybe even more flicks after that.
Scarlett is hot. That’s not up for debate. She has her picture next to the word Sexy in the dictionary. I mean, I use her image to promote this site that is how hot she is. Is she the Black Widow though? It will be interesting to see her take up the role. Dark hair on Johannson is pretty hot and she is a decent actress. There are complaints that she is too “wooden” but I think she could really thrive in a role where she can have some fun like Black Widow.
Finke also reports that she is getting paid in peanuts which is kind of crazy for such high budget movies like Marvel is pushing. It doesn’t come as a surprise because really, these movies are guaranteed blockbusters and I am sure she will see some kind of money from toys and games and everything else associated with the role. Congrats to Scarlett.
