Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) has been cast as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2.

Tony Stark’s way with the ladies might very well prove lethal in Iron Man 2.

Variety reports that English actress Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Wolfman) has “emerged as the frontrunner” to play the femme fatale Black Widow, a.k.a. Natalia Romanova, in the Jon Favreau-directed sequel.

Although Variety refers to Black Widow by the name of Natasha Romanoff, she is also known as Natalia Romanova in the comics. Marvel would not comment on the Blunt/Black Widow rumor for Variety.

Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell have been cast as the movie’s two main villains. Filming begins this spring for a 2010 release.
