Variety is reporting the rumor that Emily Blunt is in talks to play Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2. Romanoff is a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

She would join the previously-announced villains Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell in the sequel. Again directed by Jon Favreau, the Marvel Studios film sees the return of Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, while Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard.

Blunt's credits include The Devil Wears Prada, The Jane Austen Book Club and Charlie Wilson's War. She also stars in The Wolfman, coming to theaters in November.

The Justin Theroux-scripted Iron Man 2 will begin production this spring for a release by Paramount on May 7, 2010.

Actually works, considering the Crimson Dynamo they've likely chosen. But if Black Widow's in this movie...can Hawkeye be far behind?

Black Widow in an Iron Man movie? Huh, I'm kinda surprised they aren't holding her off for a possible Daredevil reboot. Maybe she'll be in Avengers...?

This movie sounds like it's getting a bit crowded, but whoo. At least we'll get more than one badass SHEILD member in the movies (probably).

Oh, and live action Hawkeye would rule. ^^
