It’s certainly a possibility as Variety is reporting Jon Favreau is casting his eyes toward Emily Blunt to play the Black Widow in the upcoming Iron Man 2 film.
Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play Natasha Romanoff in the “Iron Man” sequel. She’s a Soviet superspy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry.
She’s done some comedy and a few big dramas (Charlie Wilson’s War, The Jane Austen Book Club), and will appear in the upcoming Wolf Man movie from Universal.
Marvel has issued a firm “no comment” on this bit of casting news, so for now, we’ll have to file this under rumor.

Seems like a pretty good possibility if Twitter can be considered reliable:

“…in a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry.”
Wait, I guess I’m really OK with that. :n)
After all if sweet li’l Betty and Veronica can do it it must be a good thing.
meh.
I will ALWAYS prefer acting over looks, so I’m really not a shallow guy, but I really think that Black Widow should be a bit more… irresistible.
please don’t say angelina jolie, i will kick you in the nads.
i personnally think she is a perfect fit for the role, body-wise. for the acting part, i really don’t know, but she can’t be worse than liv tyler in the Hulk
