The Iron Man sequel is slated to hit theater in May 2010 with returning stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and director Jon Favreau. Scarlett Johansson has signed up to play the sexy Russian super-spy Black Widow in the sequel. The role of Black Widow was originally rumored to be going to Emily Blunt, who had to withdraw from consideration due to a scheduling conflict.

During World War II, a Nazi assault upon Stalingrad set the building she was in on fire. A woman, possibly her mother, threw her into the arms of a Russian soldier named Ivan Petrovich before being consumed by the flames. For more information on the Black Widow …
