Variety is reporting that Emily Blunt is close to signing as the Black Widow in the upcoming Iron Man 2. Marvel would not confirm that casting, but Blunt would join Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man, Don Cheadle as Rhodey Rhodes / War Machine, and Mickey Rourke as a villain. At the same time, Samuel Jackson is telling the LA Times that negotiations for him to reprise his role as Nick Fury might be in trouble. The film is scheduled for release in summer 2010.
