When Scarlett Johansson was announced as the actress to play the Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and other Marvel universe films, fans were NOT happy. If you look at the image above, it’s pretty obvious why.
But at least as far as visually, things are looking up – When she recently showed up in London at Moet and Chandon: A Tribute to Cinema party, Scarlett was looking considerably more like the Russian spy that we’ve come to know.
Check out her new look below:

So what do you think? Are things looking up in regards to Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and possibly The Avengers?

I love her, jus not for this role. Maybe for the “new” BW from that recent miniseries, but I think the Widow should be a little more seasoned,more older, not a “jus skipped college to go to ninja school chick”. Not saying Blunt had it locked, but I gotta be able to see the experience in the face, an it’s jus not there. It’s like when the 007 franchise expected people to believe Denise Richards was a rocket scientist.
Well you know how it goes, I don’t think they actually expected you to believe Denise Richards was a rocket scientist, it’s just because she has two rockets on her chest they expected nobody to care…

Oh man… I remember that. Stupidest casting EVER. Just so ridiculous I couldn’t believe it.

1st… I have ZERO problems with Denise Richards ‘Rockets’!!!
2nd… I think Scarlett going ‘hard body’ and not that ’soft look’ in the right photo would actually rock the roll. (God I can’t believe I wrote that.)
3rd… I really think that she’ll be just fine in the roll.

I know it’s r.o.l.e…
I have to say that my opinion of Scarlett as Black Widow hasn’t changed. I just don’t think she’s as great an actress as she gets made out to be. She’s pretty much only eye candy, and I don’t think she will be able to come across seriously as a kick@ss super-spy.
Bill, even as eye candy, I think Emily Blunt is better looking than her anyway. I’m not talking about her body (although that may be true as well) but their face, I am not really “digging” Scarlett’s face as Black Widow, something wrong with those eyes… And maybe the nose…
Not digging Scarlet? Wow! She’s gorgeous. I’m surprised by some of he reactions here. She’s way way hotter than Blunt. How and when did Blunt get so popular on the internet?
T.,
it probably has something to do w/ her last name
Well, I did say that I THINK, as in it’s my opinion. I know you stated it as a fact but I’m sure you understand your view is your opinion. I’m sure plenty of people think Scarlett is “hotter” than Emily Blunt, but I don’t think so.
Matt-lol!
Looks are one thing, but what about the lack of talent. Emily Blunt has both.
In a cast of Downey, Rourke, Rockwell, Cheadle, etc. its needed more than some hair dye and a bust.
hmm..the pic looks more like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld to me though.
@Vic
You’re wrong!! “Stupid casting ever”? Are you forgetting Tara Reid in Alone in the Dark?
@JM
Never saw that flick.

Scarlett is very short, they should have chosen someone older and much more matured. Someone who can make people belive she has a strange and dangerous past but can be an asset to the Avengers. One of the Hollywood mistake is always to cast A-List actors that don’t look like the characters. I admire WATCHMEN for making it to the big screen and having less known actors.
@Vic
Me neither but she’s a scientist in that movie, can u believe it? Well, its an Ube Woll movie…
You mixed up some letters in his name there… not that it matters because he’s a hack anyhow…
scarlet is perfect at anthying she does , a she is going to light up the screen!! another IM blockbuster…
mickey rourke also and character to the movie,others sam j.

I think scarlett is a good pick. I definitely think if she pulls it off well, it will better her career. I also saw that they were looking at Eliza Dushku for the part. She would’ve been great also cause she’s been in action roles since buffy and she looks the part.
I think Scarlett Johansson will do a great job with Black Widow. She has recently dyed her hair for the role and (everyone knows this) she has the perfect body too. All I what is to see Scarlett Johansson in the costume and then we all know she is perfect for it
i like scarlett johasson as black widow on iron man 2 and the avengres she’s cool and awsome i like scarlett johasson she’s pretty hott and sexy and pretty i hope i meet her so i will see her on iron man 2 and 3 and the avengres in theatres see ya.
