RED CARPET REVIEW: Emily Blunt Bounced from Iron Man 2 - Rourke Still in the Running

I've heard from EMPIRE magazine that Black Widow is going to be Stark's assistant, but that makes no sense at all, what about Pepper Potts and why would she be an assistant!!!!

Woohoo!..sorry to any Blunt fans, but i never liked her for Widow..but shes a damn site better than Johannsson! Just offer the role to Olga hotjamesbondchickandnakedinhitman already!

I agree give the role to OLGA. Hopefully they can get a good script. The number 2's in the comic book world have been very well thus far. Let's keep the streak alive IM2.

And also people gotta remember Olga's accent is authentic, so the role for her is effortless.

dude u guys calm down about scarlett not being right for the role, i mean, how many people thought heath ledger would be right for the joker and that turned out great... better than great..... well except for him dying but ya u get my point

Well i got no probs with Scarlett for BLACK WIDOW!!! Bet she'll be great if she gets it!! I think alot of fanboys dont like her now coz of THE SPIRIT movie lol!! Anyway NO ULTIMATE NICK FURY!!! Heh heh!!!

Scarletts not a bad actress but lets look at the big picture. Black Widow is a tall, slender, Russian red head. Johannson is a short, voluptuous American Blonde. I know she can dye her hair, put on an accent but why not just cast someone thats better for the role..its that simple..and for the record i always thought Ledger would at least be a half decent Joker..turns out it was an understatement!

Really? i thought that was the most genius casting i had ever heard!

wow LEEE777, u sure hate Ultimate Nick Fury, all i gotta say is, u name another actor who got asked to potray a well known comic character in the comics, Let me guess LEEE777, u must be a conservative.

Zinext - I totally agree with LEEE777 (and NO, I'm NOT a conservative!). I understand that Ulitmate Nick Fury's physical appearance in the comics was based partially on SLJ, but if Jackson wants to be a baby and hold out for more money, I say, "SCREW HIM!" There are plenty of other (more talented) actors (seriously, how many different ways can one play the role of 'angry black man'?) who could take the part (can you say 'Denzel Washington' or 'Lawrence Fishburn'?). I truly don't believe that one actor MUST play a part (although, as stated in my previous post, RDJ comes REALLY close with Tony Stark!)...

loganoneil, There is plentey of talented black actors, but my point was marvel made fury in his image!!!! as far as Sam not being talented, go 2 any hood barbershop and say that u might get cussed out!! U can say any black actor can play an angry black man, that sounds like somthin alot of white guys would say, but as far as most black people are concerd, sam is a brother that takes no shit from nobody, and thats were him and nick fury are one in the same, and sides, none of us really kno the extent of his and marvels situation, so i dont speak on it.

any news for SLJ?

MARVEL should offer another role for SLJ!!! The Live action BLACK PANTHER that they are gonna do would be so cool for SAM!!! I know you say WESLEY SNIPES but id see him as BLADE still!!! Hopefully ol' WES can get to do BLADE 4, with a real villain like MORBIUS or something!! :thumbs

... and let's face it, this whole thing with Sam and Marvel can be boiled down to one thing - $$$MONEY$$$! If the prima dona wants more money ('cause he can smell the residuals and KNOWS Ultimate Fury was physically based on him), why shouldn't the studio shop the part around? Think about it - he's literally holding the role hostage - as a fan, doesn't THAT piss you off (I know it makes me furious!)? 'Mega-star' salaries are part of the reason movies have become SOOOOO expensive to make! I say "SCREW 'EM ALL!" If he doesn't 'want' the role, give it to someone who does (who could possibly do a BETTER JOB and for LESS MONEY!). That extra cash can be pumped back into the film production, making a better over-all experience for the viewers and ultimate end-consumers of the finished piece! It all comes down to this, they're not making these movies just to stroke their own egos (although it sometimes SEEMS that way), they're making them for US - the public! Without 'US', there would be no 'THEM' (they just need to be reminded of that from time to time...)!

Ror, they all are BRILLIANT movies, but I contend that Jack (in ALL of them) was just being 'himself'! About the only film I can think of that was a stretch for him was the bit part of the masochistic dental patient in the original 'Little Shop of Horrors'!

My thoughts on this are just that if he's holding the part ranson for more money, I say the studio has EVERY right to shop it around to another actor.

LOGANONEIL-

If that were true, then I would wholeheartedly agree with you. It's just that my perception of him doesn't really see that as possible. I've read interviews with him (Ebony, Jet, etc.) where he talks about why he's made so many movies and he's like, "I just like to stay working. If the money is okay, and the script won't ruin my career, I'm doing it!"

I personally think this is all BS. His agent is probably just holding out for more money (his job), but if they start talking about bringing someone else in, i think he'll sign.

Please God, i hope so. lol.

ROR-

Yea dude, he murdered Black Snake Moan! He was great. And yea, De'Niero is a character actor as well!

Talontd - don't get me wrong about Sam Jackson... the POTENTIAL for great acting is there, but as Ror pointed out, he's just one of many actors who seems to have gotten lazy in recent years and slipped into a comfortable characature (the 'angry-black-guy' I was describing before) that the viewing audience has almost come to expect from him (so I guess you could say it's a two-way street!)...

I can see why they would want Scarlet Johansson to be Black widow...she is Polish & Danish Descent even though she was born in America [new york]..and may her life with "Ryan Reynolds" [her husband go well, and prosper, because I like both of them!]

But I have to agree with "Rorschach01"...She is like the all around blonde, I would characterize her as american...she doesnt really remind me of "American when i look at scarlet...Jessica simpson "looks VERY all american blonde"...but back to the point...I cant see her play that part either.

WE're looking for TALL, looks the part, and looks natural with red hair, [but can be blonde like the Cover for Black Widow: Pale Little Spider #1, starring Yelena Belova. Art by Greg Horn.] and can pull the russian accent off....who can that be?

I can see "Natalia Vodianova" as Black Widow...but since shes a model...can she act? She has the accent. She has the looks. Shes 5'9 without heels...and she currently 26....Pure Russian...look her up...very beautiful russian model. What ya think?
