In Iron Man 2 casting news. It looks like the new Iron Man is going to have Natalia Romanova, the Black Widow, in it.

Sexy Russian women. Oh my!

I still can't get over the director news. I think it's a shame, as Favreau did a really good job on it, but still...

Wha? Favreau is still directing unless something changed from yesterday.

And Emily Blunt seems like a great choice.

IMDB agrees. I'd heard a rumour about Kenneth Branagh, though...

Brannagh's directing Thor.

Oooooooh, Thor.

*bounces happily*

Pleasepleaseplease let them keep the Norse mythology in and do it justice!

I do hope it's Emily Blunt that ends up playing Natasha - I think Emily is so very pretty.

Initially it was going to be all Norse mythology - no superheroes. Then they got excited by an Avengers movie so Donald Blake is now in the latest script version, but the Norse stuff is definitely still there.

i heard a rumour being strenously denied that the wrestler Triple H was in the frame to play Thor in God mode, with a different actor(whose name escapes me,) playing Donald Blake...

Surely Marvel learned not to use wrestlers after Sabretooth in X-Men?

I know Triple-H has been thrown around a lot as fantasy casting from some geeks, so hopefully that's just being a rumour ouroboros.

Daniel Craig was offered the role but turned it down - which is a damned shame.

He was adequate in Blade Trinity, and, from what I recall from my stint living with a wrestling nut, one of the few wrestlers able to portarsay acharacter with more than one facet (Christian and The Rock being the other two)

Sadly, I enjoy watching "Dancing with the Stars" for all the incredibly sexy Eastern European and Russian women.
