Soon after Emily Blunt was courted for the role of a love interest for Captain America, she has declined the role.
But why? It seems she is close to signing on to another role, and the rumour wheel has her lined up to be in Batman 3 as Catwoman!
Soon after the announcement came news from L.A. Times that Emily Blunt has turned down the female love interest part of Peggy Carter, an “American agent serving with the French Resistance with standard military training and is handy with a gun.”
She had been circling the part alongside Keira Knightley (who unsurprisingly has also passed) and ‘She’s Out of My League’s’ 28 year old Brit Alice Eve.
So why has Blunt turned down the role?
Well Batman on Film are running with THE RUMOUR (and they don’t run rumours for the sake of it) they have heard from a “industry source” (who’s pretty damned tuned into the Hollywood grapevine) that say she has caught Christopher Nolan’s eye.
And it seems that role Nolan has set for her is Selena Kyle, the infamous Catwoman.
I would really love to see how Nolan makes Catwoman “real” as he has so far steered Batman away from the supernatural, and Catwoman’s gifts are supernatural. He may just play her off as a gifted catburglar and instead of giving a supernatural agility or rumoured nine lives, she may just get the reputation for escaping.
Would you like to see Emily Blunt as the seductive Catwoman? Yeah, me too!
