A little while back, sneaky little Jon Favreau put an emphasis on the word 'swank' in one of his Myspace blog entries, causing a minor shitstorm of speculation that Hilary Swank would be making a cameo in IRON MAN. I read the blog entry myself and believed it, but I also didn't think a cameo from Hilary Swank was such a big deal. Sure there's a couple of Oscars lying under her couch at home, but she ain't no Tom Cruise if you know what I'm sayin'.

Either way, Marvel head Avi Arad just confirmed to MTV that Swank will indeed be making a cameo in the film. When asked about the Swank cameo, a stunned Arad responded with “How do you know [about that]?,” and then after a moment admitted that “It’s a cameo.” How do we know about it? Maybe because your director gave it away in a not-so-subtle clue.

Arad also admitted to a much-rumored Sam Jackson cameo as Nick Fury: “The Sam thing was supposed to be the biggest secret of them all, it’s amazing how it got out.” This Nick fury appearance screams spin-off to me, especially if the movie is a huge success, but I'm not exactly sure what the Swank cameo is all about. She seems like a random choice to me, and no word yet on who she'll be playing, although some have her pegged her as a special agent. Maybe she has a crush on Robert Downey Jr.? I know I'd do anything to work with him.

So it seems like you can't even do a cameo in this movie if you're never been at least Oscar nominated...

I hope she's not the Black Widow... Geez, there are plenty of hot Eastern European and Russian women out there that could fill the suit nicely. I think that Swank could be another agent of SHIELD.

Black Widow would be interesting
I agree Swank is probably not the hottest actress in the world but she's one of the most talented. And she's not looking too bad in that picture!

Yeah, I thought of Black Widow too. Even though, in my opinion Hilary Swank isn't hot enough to be Black Widow. But I guess having a skilled actress would be better than having someone like Jessica Alba in there.

I was 'meh' about this until I connected the same dots that the guys below did and realised that Black Widow often sports a cleavage hammering catsuit.


Cat. Suit.

Gaijin beat me to the Black Widow assumption. I mean, who else would it be?

hmmmm
dunno if Im alone in this but since sam jackson is fury and under the assumption that his casting is based loosely on the ultimate avengers plot... Im gonna hazard a guess that swank is gonna be portraying the Black Widow...
