Entertainment Weekly has the first shots of Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2. If you have no idea who Black Widow is, then let EW explain. I’ll be over her staring at Scarlett in leather.
Adding more flesh and blood to the new movie, Scarlett Johansson joined the cast 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,” says Paltrow. “There’s a weird male catfight fantasy. Downey agrees. He believes 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.”
A super fight between Black Widow and Pepper Potts? If this was real life, I’d be calling for Scarlett to suffocate Gwyneth with her breasts. “Use your boobs and hold them to her face!,” I’d scream. Then again, I’d be shouting the same thing for the movie too. Now that I think about it, I guess that was a good enough reason to ban me from AMC when I did that during My Sister’s Keeper.
