Johansson Replaces Blunt In "Iron Man 2"?

Scarlett Johansson is rumored to be in discussions with Marvel Studios to replace Emily Blunt in the upcoming "Iron Man" sequel says Entertainment Weekly.

Johansson would take on the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow. Blunt's commitment to 20th Century Fox's "Gulliver's Travels" may prohibit her from co-starring in the superhero sequel.

Sources day Johansson has met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role, but it depends on Blunt's schedule as her agents are trying to fit both films into her schedule.
