Iron Man II Casting Call May Have Revealed Crimson Dynamo and Black Widow!

Well it doesn't say much BUT, the female lead is obviously Black Widow from SHIELD. And Eastern Europeen doesn't sound ASIAN enough to me... And i absolutely WANT Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to play the mandarin!!! HE IS PERFECT!!!

yeah id say its black widow alright...dye jessica beals hair red, give her russian lessons and a skin tight cat suit..theres your widow!

I wonder if they're going to go the route of the Mandarin that's depicted in that new Iron Man animated series, "Iron Man: Armored Adventures" where he's in a black armor that is a blend of a Samurai and a Knight of fantasy. I think they should also make the rings alien in nature rather than magic.

Whomever they get for Black Window, needs to know how to sell hot and business at the same time. Very few attractive actresses can do both and be able to sell it.

Yea, i'm out as well. But it's got to be Black Widow.
The rings ARE Alien in nature, not magical. Whether they depict that or not is a different story.

TMI Shaman...
You guys might be forgetting the possibility of Titanium Man as well ("Russian Bruiser"). And I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but I don't think you're going to see too much of the Mandarin in this one either, I keep hearing that they're going to make him a "shadow villian", in the background until the third film.

Famke Jansen would have been perfect for Black Widow but they already used her as Jean Grey, although I wouldn't complain. They had Rebecca Romjin in punisher and x men. so yeah. My vote is Famke Jansen for Black Widow

FAMKE IS WAY TOO TALL, ITS LIKE PUTTING THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT NEXT TO THE KEEBLER ELF

Gunsmith...Dude, lay off the veggies and cookies...alright? Breathe in this with me here...breathe in, goldeneye... breathe out, goldeneye.... feel better? Still seeing Mamouths and bees here?

Now where did i put that hand creme again...

I hate to disagree but Famke Jansen looks old now.. she actually looked too much older than cyclops in the Xmen movies from the start to me and she was visibly taller than he was. I guess I'm just not a fan of her.. I think Black Widow I think attraction with a deadly russian accent.. Famke just isn't sexy to me.. I think they can find better.. like Christina Hendricks she's hot.. and a natural red head.. and she doesn't look 40 either.. She's great on MAD MEN as well great show!
guys you ahve to check her out..

She's it!

Okay, she's tall she's old, what, am I the only bloke here that loves tall experienced women that can take hold of you and ride towards the sunset... yeah okay.

Well then how'bout Rachelle Lefevre in Twilight? She's a fan favorite and not to mention a natural red head. Very HOOOOOOOTTT!

o.k. o.k. I'll conceded Rachelle Lefevre in the looks category but I have not seen much of her acting. As for the Ironman franchise I defintely don't want to see someone else with a iron man suit other than war machine let's get creative here.. don't go down the superman road every intallment has Kryptonite featured prominently in it.. find something else.. there are plenty of ways to stop iron man that have nothing to do with mysticism or a guy knocking off his armour. although I must agree I think the mysticism is the way to go.. that's great TOny all about Technology fighting a foe that defy's all his MIT teachings and having to come up with a way to win?? Come on it's great..

Natassia Malthe, Also super-hottie, BUT, played Typhoid in Elektra...

Very excellent point "DrFever". So by that rationale, since Daredevil was for all intents and purposes, shyte, can Michael Clark Duncan still play Apocalypse...If and when they get around to it?

I dig the fight scenes etc. But despise the cast save for Michael Clark Duncan and Joe Pantaliano.

Kate Beckinsale for Black widow, and Dougery scott as Crimson Dynamo

Angie Everhart, nice to look at, but she has a husky voice like she drinks too much hard liquor and is pushing 40. They could easily have an early to mid 30's actress, like Natassia Malthe (who is severely underrated and needs better projects) that has seen a lot of action in a short time. Also, they've done that "I've been doing this longer than you" type of line in X2 between Stryker and Kelly(Mystique).
Milla Jovovich, sorry to say, is predictable casting in my opinion and frankly, I'm kind of tired of seeing her in the action role. With films like "Ultra Violet", "Resident Evil", "Resident Evil:Apocalypse", "Resident Evil:Extinction" and "Fifth Element" it's too safe of a choice and ultimately too boring to watch.

I'd agree Jason Statham as Matt Murdock may be a stretch, however, I wouldn't bank on his ability to do romance solely based on an Uwe Boll film. Uwe makes everyone on board hate the work.

For the rings, I know the lore, however, I would save the mysticism for the "Thor" movie. An alien tech vs. human tech would work well because it not only can push Tony to his limits trying to "out-invent" a superior technological race's equipment but also open the world up to the idea of alien invasions. Which then can open doors to the idea of other alien races existing to take on Earth... only to have The Avengers stand in their way.

Michael Clarke Duncan could still do Apocalypse even if he was Kingpin in Daredevil. If they do it right, using prosthetic make-up would alter his appearance enough. Also, I don't think his portrayal of Kingpin was wholly accepted enough for people to care if he jumped from DD to X-Men mainly because it wasn't a defining role for him. They would be hard press to sell actors in defining roles like Hugh Jackman sheathing the claws to be Doctor Strange or Christian Bale hanging up the cape and cowl to be Green Arrow. No one is going to go for it %100. But a poor Kingpin to a possibly awesome Apocalypse? I think people would push for it regardless if he was already in a different Marvel adaptation.

...so says The Leader.

Honestly... i guess that none of the choice that were posted fit the bill...execpt...you got me SOLD HANDS DOWN on this one... KIERA KNIGHTLY. You are so RIGHT with this one Warpath, you just hit me where it hurts while i wasn't looking! I never thought about her and to me she's perfect.

If not her than...mabe Charlize Theron. Ooh ooh wait... how'bout RHONA MITRA!!!!

Eeehhh... A Nick Fury movie? I'm i the only one that thinks this will suck? It's gonna look like Shaft 2. He's not important enough to have his own movie... But hey the execs are dumb asses so he might just get it.

If they're not putting the mandarin in this one or just in the back ground, i just hope they're not gonna throw an "S" here and give him the "Dr.Claw from inspector gadget" look, showing just his green hand with all the rings, laying on the side of his lazyboy. But i have faith in Jon Favreau.

nick fury was done already ..and he was played by THE [frick]ING HOFF! nuff said;)

keira knightly would be perfect except (and i realise im being totally shallow here) shes lacking a couple of..ahem..assets! ..charlize theron would be great, shes a class actress.

I hope they find an unknown to play the black widow. all these known actors would call for a bigger pay check and less of a budget for the rest of the movie. All I want is a good story, and decent actors.
