Emily Blunt Says The Superhero Genre Has Been ‘Exhausted’ As She Responds To ‘Fantastic Four’ Casting Rumours

etcanada.com:

Emily Blunt may have nearly joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Black Widow, but the actress doesn’t have any plans to enter the superhero world any time soon despite rumours that she and husband John Krasinski were being eyed for a “Fantastic Four” reboot. “That is fan-casting,” Blunt says of “Fantastic Four” rumours while speaking with Howard Stern. “No one has received a phone call.

That’s just people saying, ‘Wouldn’t that be great?'” While Blunt came close to playing Black Widow in “Iron Man 2” until scheduling conflicts on the Jack Black comedy “Gulliver’s Travels” nixed her plans, the actress says that while the genre is not “beneath her,” she’s not sure it’s a world she wants to explore at this stage.
