Will Emily Blunt Be Forced to Leave Iron Man 2 for Gulliver’s Travels?
/Film —
... However, Variety says that both Fox and Blunt’s reps were feeling optimistic on Thursday that both studios might somehow be able to accomidate Blunt’s dual shooting schedule. Blunt was supposed to play a former soviet spy named Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widdow. During the dueling trade stories, there was even a mention that the character would be Stark’s new assistant, but it was never made clear if that was just another inaccuracy in the reporting. ...

At The Movies - Film News and Reviews —
Emily Blunt had no idea she’d made a deal with the Devil back when she made “Prada.”

Blunt No Longer Available for Iron Man 2 ?
Superherohype.com —
Variety is reporting that Emily Blunt has been cast opposite Jack Black and Jason Segel in Gulliver's Travels . Problem is, the film shoots at almost the same time as Iron Man 2 . We quote...

Fox holds an option on the actress that was part of her deal when she co-starred in "The Devil Wears Prada," and the studio may invoke it to see that she takes part in the giant tale. While Blunt's reps are still trying to work out ...
'Iron Man,' 'Gulliver' Fight Over Emily Blunt
Get The Big Picture —
... Fox now tells Variety it's likely Blunt will be able to do both projects. Black Widow's a great
character (or at least, a fun one with a lot of potential on screen), but I'm suddenly more interested in
Gulliver's Travels than I was before. It's still not the soap opera Marvel is making out of its
Iron Man pre-production, but let's face it: Gulliver's Travels is a classic tale, and the
update doesn't sound too bad. Minus ...

Hey folks, Harry here... I have nothing against this upcoming live-action GULLIVER'S TRAVELS - but it seems that FOX has some sort of contract agreement with Emily Blunt left over from her time on THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, which could be exercised by FOX (Fucking Over Xtraordinary) Films to keep her from being the astonishingly ravishing Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow in IRON MAN 2. Variety has the story - and it seems there's a chance that it'll all work out, but there's also a chance that our lovely Natasha will be a Lilliputian princess that Black's ...

... roles in two huge upcoming films-- and Fox owns you to the point that they can tell you which one to pick. Blunt has been tapped, along with Jason Segel, for a role in Gulliver's Travels , the Jack Black reimagining of the classic adventure tale.

Emily Blunt Double Booked
TheBadandUgly.com —
20th Century Fox is really making some moves that piss me off, though all of that could go away if they just start making better movies by taking care of their existing properties. Also, they could be a little nicer when dealing with other studios (*cough* Watchmen *cough*).

Twentieth Century Fox is negotiating with Emily Blunt and Jason Segel to join Jack Black in “Gulliver’s Travels,” the Rob Letterman-directed reimagining of the classic Jonathan Swift tale. ...
