It seems the scheduling conflict between Gulliver's Travels and Iron Man 2 that Emily Blunt is facing has prompted Marvel Studios to begin discussions with other actresses to fill the role of Black Widow.

Although there has not been an official announcement from Marvel, sources have confirmed that Scarlett Johansson has been approached for the role and is interested in the project.
