I appreciate Marvel’s efforts to aim high in casting CAPTAIN AMERICA but Emily Blunt considered IRON MAN 2 because she could’ve been a superhero instead of just playing the girlfriend to a superhero. I’m not entirely surprised she passed and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Marvel’s supposed second choice, Keira Knightley, passes as well.
So who else does that leave? The original report had Blunt, Knightley and SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE star Alice Eve on the shortlist but it’s unclear what new names (if any) have been added to the list. Director Joe Johnston is currently in London meeting with British lasses for the part and I know Marvel is hoping to lock someone up rather swiftly. Who’d you recommend?
