Maybe she will make a good widow, she doesnt look like one but lets give her a chance and see what will happen.

In reply to Ken.

That’s just it. Olga doesn’t have that presence and she’s not all that attractive. She’s very plain.

I know she has a following and some people really dig her, and that’s your own tastes. That’s fine. But she just isn’t anything like Widow.

I am hoping Scarlett surprises us and nails this, but I don’t really see it yet despite being a big fan of hers.

wells here it goes AGAIN.i know i’m to be criticized for adding my comments on olga.but guys honestly een u rodney said that presence itslef and a great look is half the talent needed for a role.i personally believe olgas just under radar when it comes to a movie thats actually going to be a blockbuster.shes accepting many roles as the sexy seductress made to seduce the main actors character.but olg kurylenko(future wife)is great when it comes to presence,black widow a spy was known to have a sex appeal when it came to giving commands an holding a gun.Quantum of solace more than showed olga can portray a female vixen or spy.and black widow was russian with a heavy accent.olga ukrainian with a heavy accent,and scarlett has the regular everday chick voice.I must admit i was slightly hoping somehow olga would win the role with all the mention of her name on many sites about black widow.Also i am one of the many who name olga for any role thats fit for a female,mainly because I’m a huge fan(one with a schoolboy crush)and i’m just seeing olga slip into a cliche catagory of sexy female seductress.she like the hot chick we see in horror films that die in scene 2.i’m an upcoming director(hope to be as great as the great rodney someday,and by god if i do i will personally make my top priority to make a true fitting role for olga.*and yes im the fan who stalks celibrities~lol~…..but seriously.

I don’t like the idea of Scarlett as BW. I don’t think she can pull of the role. She doesn’t have the look, either. I mean, she’s sexy, no denying it, but can she pull off a good Russian accent?! And she doesn’t nearly have the tough, sexy female look that I think of when I think Black Widow.

In reply to THE FOOL ON THE HILL. i agree w/ you on bringin back Weaver and Hamilton, but it would fuckin suck if try to make a movie just to make a "comeback" and it end up being shit like those you mentioned and i dont mind films that are made these days, but you know each to their own

Perhaps you’re right. Our world of cinema is dying slowly, now I only watch movies that were released before 1995, that way I won’t feel the pain much longer…

In reply to 1138. Dude, Widow was ALWAYS the traditional hot. She's the femme fatale of the Avengers. Deadly sexy and alluring. Thats always been her role.

Yes I do realize that but who cares, they’re still groovy man, c’mon, if Rambo, John MClane and Rocky came back old as hell then they can come back too.

Emily Blunt is perfect for the role.

In reply to Royal.

You just can’t get a clue, can you? I, unlike you, am completely indifferent. I already told you: I don’t even LIKE “ScarJo”, so lay off it! My point earlier had absolutely nothing to do with Johansson’s quality as an actress, but about principles.

Figures, because as I saw the post title I thought, “SOMEBODY’S not going to be happy.” Just don’t lay it all on me.
