Emily Blunt – ‘Iron Man’
In 2010, Emily Blunt was already prepared to play Black Widow in the film Iron Man. You can never actually say no when Marvel comes knocking at your door, right? It is widely known that having a part in one of Marvel’s superhero blockbusters can propel you to the A-list, making your name a household buzzword. However, Twentieth Century Fox decided to call in their contract with Blunt which she signed a few years ago. She, therefore, had to star in the Jack Black comedy Gulliver’s Travels instead. Due to scheduling conflicts, she decided to forego the Black Widow role. Although Blunt could have chosen to star in both films at the same time she did not want to fly from the US to the UK all the time for half a year. The role went to Scarlett Johansson who went on to star in 6 movies and is now set to star in her own stand-alone film centering on the superheroine.
