meh, Famke Janssen is still perfect…she's till lookin good in Taken and she and Jon Favreau are good friends (he's written a role specifically for her in the past)

Famke does have the right age, more than Dushku.
Dushku is very good in action roles but the Widow character should be closer to Downey's character. I think we can all guess that the Widow will be a love interest and it'd look a bit odd to me seeing Robert and Eliza like that.
And unless they change the soviet background story of the widow, Eliza's a bit to young for that as well.

Quick Black Widow explanation for Brad:
Former soviet super spy, the kind with tight black clothes and amazing gadgets like grappling hook and energy weapons. No real superpowers but some enhanced physical abilities.
You get the idea.

@rattler76: Enhanced Physical Abilities? i am intrigued ;)

Dushku comes off as an ass in that excerpt. Famke Jansen is a goddess… i am hoping they have a Origins movie just for her… wouldnt that be something!

and you have a point there…Famke would better suit RDJ's age than Dushku

but if not famke then please let it be Blunt… Scarlett is overrated… as an actress and as a beauty both… she is another marilyn wannabe…. she would probably be best suited for a anna nicole smith biopic :P

@viral:
haha settle down viral, i'm talking olympic level athlete like abilities (or somewhat better) not Lara Croft like physical measurements, allthough if you open any comic book all the women look like they've been drawn by Hugh Heffner.

Gotta be honest here, I'm not excited about any of these choices. I liked Emily Blunt in Prada, but as a sexy, Russian, femme fatale? Maybe not. What does everyone think about Sienna Miller?
