Please no.

If she does the whole movie nude, I won't complain.

Otherwise, no. Emily Blunt was a much better choice - better actress, and more attractive.

**Raiders** · 02-14-2009, 06:53 PM

Amazing the change in opinion on Johannson in what, the course of about three years? Maybe four?

Maybe it's just a "Match Cut" thing?

:: looks for [ETM] ::

That said, Blunt is preferable.

**DavidSeven** · 02-14-2009, 06:58 PM

She's not bad at the awkward and aimless young girl thing and ...that's it. Her attempts to play "grown up" are kind of embarassing, which is a limitation that has been exposed rather frequently for the last six years.

**Acapelli** · 02-14-2009, 07:35 PM

i like scarlett for the most part, but her anemic personality belongs nowhere near a four-color superhero movie

You people are hilarious.

ETM couldn't make it?

**Ezee E** · 02-14-2009, 10:24 PM

I still like Scarlett a ton, and see no problem with the casting at all.

**Scar** · 02-14-2009, 10:37 PM

Scarlett makes me feel warm and tingly.

Looks like Rourke might not be in the movie after all:

Mickey Rourke has told New York Magazine that it's looking like he won't be playing the villain in Iron Man 2:

But so what if ICM's David Unger doesn't look good in a dress — at least he's battling Marvel for a bigger paycheck for Rourke for his rumored role as a villain in Iron Man 2, right? "Right now, we're not doing Iron Man 2," Rourke told us grimly.

In January, the news broke that Marvel had offered the award-winning "Wrestler" star just $250,000 to play a villain in the sequel. Perhaps further negotiations didn't go so well? Also, Rourke is now firmly attached to star in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables, which starts shooting shortly and might interfere with the Iron Man 2 shoot.

Stay tuned for possibly more on this...

**megladon8** · 02-25-2009, 11:19 PM

At least Sam Jackson will be returning.

At least Sam Jackson will be returning.

I think at this stage in his career, it is more newsworthy to report a film Jackson is not going to be involved in.

**Sycophant** · 02-25-2009, 11:33 PM

Guys, I think Jackson must just love being in movies.

**EvilShoe** · 03-12-2009, 11:02 AM

Good news/bad news situation:

Rourke has been confirmed.
So has Johansson.

Feel free to decide for yourselves which is the good and which is the bad news.

**EyesWideOpen** · 03-12-2009, 12:30 PM

I'll go with the person who hasn't only had one good performance in the last 10 years.

But that's neither.

**number8** · 03-12-2009, 06:02 PM

The Wrestler isn't Rourke's only good performance in the past 10 years.

ScarJo hasn't had even one.

I enjoyed Rourke in Spun. :|

Closest she's come to a good performance was Match Point...but she might have just been playing herself.

She did ROCK in...

Even though Scarjo has been fairly awful in most things recently, she has had at least several strong/acclaimed performances over the last decade.

**NickGlass** · 03-13-2009, 01:03 AM

I've said this multiple times, but I stick by it: ScarJo should not act in talkies. She would be a brilliant silent film actress (Girl With a Pearl Earring, Lost in Translation). She has a wonderfully expressive face, but cannot sell a line of scripted dialogue. Reticent naturalism is the way to go, Ms. Johansson.

**Spinal** · 03-13-2009, 04:56 AM

I like Scarlett, but this is probably not the kind of movie that she should be appearing in. There's a reason why people tend to complain about the young female actress in every comic book movie that comes out. Usually it's because those roles are so poorly written that the performer ends up looking like a major doofus.

She will have to console herself with the millions of dollars she will receive.

**number8** · 03-13-2009, 07:06 AM

Plus, Black Widow? Really, Black Widow?

Scarlett Johannson believable as one of the deadliest, most badass Russian spies on the planet. That'll be the fucking day.
