The past few months have found endless speculation about who would be cast in the Iron Man sequel, but now matters are coming into focus. For awhile it was looking like Emily Blunt of Juno fame would be taking on the role of Black Widow, but a scheduling conflict has voided that possibility. Stepping into her shoes will be Scarlett Johannson, who will also be assuming the role in an Avengers movie.

The casting of Scarlet follows another deal, this time with Mickey Rourke who will play the role of Iron Man’s Russian counterpart, albeit one of a villainous nature.

Do these casting choices get you all excited or fill you with dread?
