Emily Blunt Seems Interested In Playing CAPTAIN MARVEL

Emily Blunt Seems Interested In Playing CAPTAIN MARVEL

Ever since Blunt was said to be in the running to play Black Widow in The Avengers, fans have wanted to see her don a costume in a superhero movie. Now that a Captain Marvel flick is officially in the works, could they get their wish? More past the jump.

While chatting to Emily Blunt about her role in Into The Woods, Screen Crush mentioned the strong fan contingent that are behind her playing Carol Danvers in Marvel's planned Captain Marvel movie. Though the Edge Of Tomorrow actress admits there's been no official discussions, she reveals that she has heard about the internet buzz...from her brother that very morning! After joking about making the film a musical ("Let’s just call Marvel about that right now. We’ll call Kevin Feige about that. “Kevin Feige, we have one hell of an idea.” Yeah"), Mike Ryan explains a little about the character, and Blunt sounds genuinely interested.

"I think, it’s always for me, it’s always about—and now, more so—what am I putting out there? What would be interesting for me and what would be interesting for people to see. So, if it’s an awesome part, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Marvel movie or a tiny movie, I’d be up for it."


As most of you will be aware already, Blunt was at one point up for the role of Black Widow in The Avengers, which of course went to Scarlett Johansson in the end. Since that though, fans have been very vocal in their support of her playing another superhero, and when the Captain Marvel movie was announced the fan-castings went into overdrive. Now that she knows a bit about the character and seems interested, is there a chance we could see her suit up as Miss Danvers? Let us know what you think in the usual place.

@Arrow Marvel is going to want an A-lister or someone who's "hot" right now (like Hansel!). Winnick is a badass though.

Studios were chasing after her left, right and center back during Cap 1, so I don't blame her for turning down Marvel then. She should be used to it now, and CM is only a next step.

Katheryn Winnick or no good.

Emily Blunt backed out of playing Black Widow just because her husband didn't get the role of Captain America, so that gives me the impression that she doesn't care too much about characters like this.

@Kurne She technically didn't turn down Marvel, she was just forced by FOX to drop the BW role. She would've been perfect for that too and just make ScarJo as Carol Danvers. Either way, I hope she nabs this role now.

Reasonnnn - 11/23/2014, 2:04 PM
@BritishMonkey What the [frick]? She was forced to back out by FOX because of her contract with them to do GULLIVER'S TRAVEL. Get your ignorance out of here.

@Reasonnnn

She also tested for Peggy Carter in Cap 1. She almost took it but yeah, turned them down in the end... I don't mind tho. Now there's an opening :)

@Reasonnnn Well, that's what I've always heard of whenever the subject comes up.

@BritishMonkey Sounds like people piecing misguided thoughts together. My bad for coming off brash.

@Kurne Emily Blunt as an airforce pilot. She already flew a helicopter in EDGE OF TOMORROW :)

@Arrow Marvel prints money regardless of who they cast and how can you doubt their casting with their track record?
Kurne
Kurne - 11/23/2014, 2:17 PM
Blunt would be a dream come true. And no offense to Marvel (with Blunt being a good thing), but if they went with someone as obvious as Benny Cucumberbatch, then why not her?

@Reasonnnn No worries.

@Arrow I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying that Marvel operates in a fashion where they cast actors who are usually "hot" right now and are on the cusp of becoming hot commodities. Where Winnick is at in her career doesn't necessarily match Marvel's criteria, IMO. Blunt, Dormer, Winnick, I'm happy with all of em. Not Sackoff though.

@Kurne BUT BLUNT IS A BRIT!?! :)

@DrDoom Blunt as BW and ScarJo as Danvers would be ideal for me. Saldana, I understood the casting. It's a bit on the safe side.

I would have no problem with that. Although I do have a lot of sympathy for the strong Winnick support on here as well.

It's kind of disappointing that Marvel hasn't had any official discussions with her yet. This just might be another "Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor!" situation where the fans are the only ones who are on board with the casting, and the studio is not. But man...I'd LOVE to see her as Captain Marvel.

I think I would've preferred her as Black Widow over Scarlett Johannson, too. Anyone who's seen Looper or Edge of Tomorrow knows she's an incredibly talented actress that needs to be in a comic book movie as soon as possible.

Blunt lost out on her chance to play Black Widow because of Fox being douchebags who contractually made her do a stupid Jack Black comedy.

This is her 2nd chance. DO IT DISNEY! You can build a franchise around her, like Boseman and Pratt and Hemsworth and so forth.
