Scarlett is Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson has confirmed she is to play Russian spy Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2.
She has landed the plum role of Tony Stark's female nemesis - aka Black Widow. She will reportedly have to wear a superhero suit. The costume is said to be latex, which we are assuming is skin tight, like the one Michelle Pfeiffer had when she played catwoman.
Joining the Marvel Universe takes a lot of commitment — and we’re not just talking about those 9-movie contract deals, either. We’re talking about the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to assume a superhero physique, which is a requirement whether you’re laced with adamantium or hidden in an Iron Man suit. The endless crunches and strict diets is what separates the men from the boys — and the men from the women, as “Iron Man 2” actress Scarlett Johansson discovered.
