"Iron Man 2" Casting Rumors

A few “Iron Man 2″ casting details/rumors are circulating around the Web. I got the info from Spoiler TV, and well, who knows if they’re official or not. They SAY they’re official, so we’ll go with that. Here’s the scoop:

Producers: Marvel, Kevin Feige
Executive Producer: Louis D’Esposito
Executive Producers: David Maisel, Denis Stewart, Stan Lee
Co-Producers: Jeremy Latcham, Victoria Alonso
Associate Producer: Karen Johnson
Director: Jon Favreau
Start Date: April 2009

More after the jump…

[MALE LEAD]
30s, Eastern European, brilliant, gritty…

[FEMALE LEAD]
20s, beautiful, speaks several languages fluently and is equally proficient in martial arts…

[BRUISER]
Russian, 20s or 30s, at least 6′2″, able to perform own stunts, has the build of a MMA fighter…

Hmmm, so let’s think here. Could the “Female Lead” possible be Black Widow? Could “Bruiser” be the Crimson Dynamo character from Black Widow? Anything’s possible, with Thor, the Hulk and others teaming up eventually.

And funny that they’re looking for a “beautiful” female lead. I’d like to see a casting call looking for a “really ugly woman”!  

Any thoughts on this?
