First Look at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2'
Too bad it's so small
Entertainment Weekly has managed to score the first look at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the upcoming Iron Man 2 as the film and its stars make the mag's July cover story in preparation for next week's San Diego Comic Con.
Johansson enters the film as Stark's mysterious new assistant, Natasha, who has an alter ego of her own, Black Widow. That introduction inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who's been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries. "The men want it to be, like, 'Ooh, the girls are fighting over Tony,' but it's not as standard as that," Paltrow tells EW. "There's a weird male catfight fantasy," Downey agrees, saying what differentiates the franchise from other superhero series can be summarized as follows: "We're horny. Not, like, can't-bring-your-kids horny, but just…horny."
You can check out the complete short article here and stay tuned as I am sure we will have a higher resolution image within the next week or so. In the meantime, what do you think of the look? Does it have you wondering what Emily Blunt would have looked like?
Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010.

My goodness i wish Emily Blunt was in that picture and not Scarlotte!
Is there really a Bring-your-kids type horny?
Emily Blunt would have been better. But I would still hit it.
Ya…cant say from these pictures that I see Scarlett being right for this…Blunt really would have been great for this.
Nice to see the costume, at least what's visible, is dead-on accurate down to the bracelets!
@BR: Here, here! Emily Blunt would have been just perfect for this role. She's smart, funny sexy and, I hate to admit it, can actually act – she's 3-dimensional. I like Scarlett; however, she's sorta one-note as an actress. I'm gonna call it: Iron Man 2 will disappoint. I'm sure it will do adequate justice to the series – but I'm afraid its gonna be more Superman Returns or Spider-Man 3 as opposed to The Dark Knight or X2.
Emily is way better suited for red Hair than Scarlett.
Scarlett has a nice body, but I think she has an average face.
Scarlett looks hot as in the photo but to young in the cover shot, but hey if she gets the accent right and is a back stabbing bitch then YAY her.
Enough of "I wish it was Emily Blunt" comments. Scarlett got the role, period. Let's wait for the movie to judge on her performance.
Scarlett Johansson is an awful actress. period.
I'd choose Scarlett over Emily any time.
@The Check Spot: I think it's "can't-bring-your-kids-home horny". And I would have preferred Emily Blunt, but can deal with Scarlett Johansson
