Emily Blunt Not in Iron Man 2

Today comes confirmation of the early rumors that Emily Blunt was in a casting conflict and would not be appearing in Iron Man 2. PlayList has a quote from the director of Iron Man 2 Jon Favreau where he revealed she is indeed out and that the rumors of Scarlett Johansson replacing her... are just that.. rumors.

He said Mickey Rourke isn’t officially cast but that he is a fan. Then she asked about Emily and Favreau said that about Fox exercising their option, which I hadn’t heard before. I thought they were still trying to make it work. He said he was disappointed but didn’t say anything about Scarlett Johansson replacing her or anyone else taking the roleHe said Mickey Rourke isn’t officially cast but that he is a fan.

It would be a great move to see Mickey Rourke as the villain and I for one do not care one way or the other if they cast Scarlett as Black Widow. Who would you like to see in that role?
