Emily Blunt to be Black Widow in ‘Iron Man 2’?

Variety is reporting that Emily Blunt is the front runner to play Black Widow in ‘Iron Man 2’. This comes hot off the heels of last week’s news that Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell had joined the cast as two key villains.

Black Widow is a Soviet super spy who wields state-of-the-art weaponry. ‘Iron Man 2’ begins production this Spring for a release in Summer 2010.

What do you think? Is Blunt a good choice for Black Widow? Is ‘Iron Man 2’ getting a little villain-heavy? Â  What other Iron Man villains could make appearances in the future?
