More Iron Man 2 Casting News

Hey Readers. Today VANTAGE gives you guys even more casting news from the anticipated sequel, Iron Man 2.

Variety is now reporting that Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) is in talks to join the feature film. She is currently up for the role of Natasha Romanoff.

Natasha Romanoff is a Soviet super spy who's alter ego is the Black Widow, a femme fatale who sports a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

If the role does go to Emily, she will be joining Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and the recently announced villains, Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell.

Iron Man 2 is set to go into production this spring with the hopes for a May 7, 2010 release date.

With all these casting news appearing online, I can't help but get a little excited. I mean, the casting of Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell is just awesome! I think that they're absolutely perfect for the roles! And now this! I think that it's an excellent idea to bring in the Black Widow! I'm sure that the Iron Man fans out there will appreciate that! I myself am not a huge Iron Man fan so I only really have a vague idea of the Black Widow character, but I'm guessing a love triangle will be played out in the film.

Rourke And Rockwell For Iron Man 2 Villains

Iron Man 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the monster hit Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. The movie is currently in production, and the question on everyone's mind is, who will the villains be this time around?

9 1/2 Weeks star, Mickey Rourke is in talks to play a Russian character named Ivan, who becomes a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils. Variety reports that his character will ultimately become The Crimson Dynamo. He is considered to be the "evil version" of Iron Man because he battles Iron Man with a nuclear powered armor.

Charlie's Angels star, Sam Rockwell is also in talks to play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman who is the rival of Tony Stark.

Rourke and Rockwell could join an already star-studded cast of Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle, who is replacing Terrence Howard as Rhodey.

This movie definitely sounds like it's gonna be packed with more action than the original. Two villains? Sounds bad ass, I just hope that they don't lose focus of the story cuz the story is what makes the movie. CGI is just the cherry on top. I do however, love the fact that they're featuring The Crimson Dynamo. The fight scenes between the two should be very exciting.

The Avengers Movie Confirmed.....

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Marvel's dream team, The Avengers could finally be hitting theatres soon!! According to sources, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle have both signed on to appear in the next installment of the Iron Man franchise, as well as The Avengers movie coming in 2011. Iron Man director Jon Favreau has also signed on to produce the film.

The Avengers is an all star team that consists of heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and many more. The Avengers constanly changes, so there's no saying who Marvel plans to use for the film. The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier also said that The Hulk will be making an appearance in the film, but did not confirm Edward Norton's participation.

I know for a fact that when this movie comes out, it'll be a monster at the box office. Just to see a movie with such star wattage would already be pretty cool. I mean, who ever thought that we would ever get to see a movie like this? To see all these superheroes in one film is going to be awesome! There are literally no words to decribe it! So to all the comic book fans out there, I say, 2011 is the year to look forward to!

However, I am still a self-proclaimed DC fan, and I urge DC to get up off their asses and do something cuz Marvel is leaving them behind. 

Nuff' said.......

Don Cheadle To Play War Machine!

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

According to our sources, actor, Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) is set to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. Howard played Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony Stark's best friend, and future War Machine.

The reasons for the replacement have been unclear so far, but some are saying that Howard fell through due to financial differences, among other reasons of course.

Marvel, who had long wanted to work with Cheadle, decided to take the role in a different direction and approach Cheadle, who is currently filming, Brooklyn's Finest.

Iron Man 2 is set to be released on May 7, 2010. Jon Favreau will return as director, Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.

I'm a little uneasy with this sudden replacement honestly. I thought Terrence Howard was an excellent choice for the role, and that he really nailed it. I'm not realy sure a out this move by Marvel. However, I do think that Don Cheadle is a great actor, and could possibly bring something new to the character.
