I've always had a bit of a taste for redheads - i don't know why. Maybe i was one in a previous life.
Tori...
Ragged Robin...
Damian Hellstorm...
Hellcat...
Er, probably loads more. As King Mob once said, 'maybe i am just drawn to the devil's daughter'.
And now there is a new one!!!
Yes, just when I thought it was safe to continue to be unexcited by Iron Man 2, a few new promo images turn up and.... Scarlet Johannsen as Black Widow woohoo! She looks great!!!! She looks Russian!!
I have a strange 'relationship' with Scarlett (advance apologies for probably spelling her name wrong throughout this). I first noticed her in Ghost World (maybe that was her first film?) and i quite liked her quirky, laidback style. She was even more laidback in Lost in Translation, almost comatose, but what a great movie, and she was perfect for it. It's a movie that didn't really do much for me initially - well apart from inspiring a rampant desire to visit Japan, which is why I'm now on my 4th term of learning Japanese - ... but then I rewatched the movie last week and it bowled me over (I want to avoid the term 'blew me away' as it's so over-used).
It's weird how she's coma-ed her way into so many movies - unlike her Ghost World castmate, Thora Birch. Even her terrible English accent in The Prestige couldn't turn me off my Scarlet.
So Scarlett as Black Widow - yes yes yes!!!!!

Thora Birch was a far more interesting actress.
Still, much as I dislike Scarlett, I have to say I'm surprisingly pleased by her Black Widow. And as Iron Man even managed to make me like Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm giving Favreau the benefit of the doubt.
hmm well we haven't seen her in action yet have we...
why don't you like Scarlett? Is it the lazy-acting thing?
