We'll be seeing you again on the screen in Iron Man 2. I understand you applied for one job, and surprisingly ended up with two.

Yeah, I was booked on the job and after a couple of days of being on set, Jon Favreau was like, "Oh my God, you speak Russian, don't you?" And I said, "Yes," and he asked if I could translate a few things for Scarlett Johansson's character. I did a little dialect coaching, a little pronunciation and translation for her.

Afterwards, Jon came over and asked which takes I liked best for pronunciation. For me, who'd studied film, it was such a cool moment to have the director asking my opinion. It felt really rewarding -- that I am in the right place at the right time, and doing the right thing for my career; because as you work and try to break down walls and try to progress, with each project you go a little bit further.

Can you tell us a little about the character you play in the film?

Well, I can't really reveal too many details, but it's a smaller part in one of the larger scenes. My character's name is Rebekah. It's a little bit of a heavy scene, and a climactic scene as well so I can't really give it away.

To read the FULL interview just follow the link below!

Iron Man 2 is released on April 30th in the United Kingdom and May 7th in the United States.

Favreau set up his special bedroom camera for his climactic scene with her. Right place, right time.

Anya: "Why aren't there any other crew here?"
Favreau: "Don't worry, I'm bringing out War Machine"

@DogsOfWar: All hells gonna break loose!!!! let loose the "War Machine" hahaha

@Multi doesn't she resemble the other Black Widow? the blond-haired Black Widow named as Yelena Belova, from the comics?

@TheRedeemer: we had the same thing in mind, except that i still dont know how to post a picture here, so that i might have Yelena Belova's pic and Anya Monzikova's side-by-side to further my proof of their uncanny resemblance. can anyone do that for us, please?!. many thanks to anyone who'd do that

Here ya go @Wolverine111882:



The resemblance is uncanny if you ask me... Could it really be?

many thanks @ LuckyKid90!!!

im crossin my fingers it would be her, as the other Black Widow... posing a threat to Scarlett johanson's Black Widow maybe at the ending of the Iron Man 2 film... then she'll reappear on the Avengers as another villain... makes sense?

Oh and I definitely take this as a clue that Scarlet is gonna use a Russian accent and perhaps talk russian at some point...

First Blake Lively gets her hair dark for Green Lantern and ScarJo get some russian pronunciation and translation teaching for Iron Man 2. This is really great news for keeping the whole comic vers. movie continuum intact and in the same line and manner. Very Epic!

I'm just hoping this means that Scarjo's Black Widow will have a Russian accent! It wont be the same seeing the character without one! :P

I have to agree with you guys that she does indeed bare a striking resemblence to Yelena Belova...that would be a cool easter egg for us fans if they include her in the movie!

Guys, check out my epic OLD MAN LOGAN Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!

@ luckykid90 we will be all praying that this young lady turns out to be black widow 2.
personally they should have dyed her hair red & cast her as the original black widow.

I wanted to avoid casting Bale (and I just cant imagine him wanting to star in a JLA movie) so I went with Pasdar..pass4sure LOT-950 .Batman is probably the DC character I know the most about and though I think he'd be a decent choice for the role, I'm sure there's someone better out there - I just dont know who!

As for your other points, I cant say I'd disagree! I know Holloway is a popular choice for GA but I really like Hamm for that role and Holloway could probably pull off Aquaman if he dropped the southern accent. (although the character I really want to see him as is Marvel's Corsair!) pass4sure LOT-982 I really liked Swan in Smallville (for me, she was the highlight of an otherwise shit season) pass4sure 000-669 and though it admittedly seems like an odd choice, pass4sure 000-418 I could see Hathaway doing something interesting with WW!
