Iron Man Just Got Sexy

No, not Iron Man himself. I didn't suddenly develop an attraction to iron-clad dudes ... or any dudes, for that matter. I'm still the same breast-obsessed, babe-loving Funktard I've always been.

I'm referring to the movie, Iron Man 2. The reason for this newfound sexiness: Scarlett Johansson.

According to reports, Johansson signed a deal on Wednesday afternoon to join the all-star cast of Iron Man 2, the sequel to last year's mega-hit, Iron Man.

She will portray Black Widow, a role that had originally went to Emily Blunt. Scheduling conflicts with Gulliver's Travels forced Blunt to drop out of the superhero sequel, leaving the door open for Johansson to step in.

You know what that means? Anyone? Anyone?

It means Scarlett Johansson in a Black Widow costume! If I can steal a phrase from my fellow Funktard, Duke ... OMFG! (It also means I have a reason to post a hot-ass Scarlett Johansson pic.)

Scarlett has a body that just won't quit, not to mention she's got a spectacular set of boobs. (Yeah. I said spectacular.) So, seeing her don a tight leather Black Widow costume will be a thing of beauty. If that's not something to look forward to, I don't know what is. 

Fuckin' awesome news.

In another quick note of interest regarding Iron Man 2, Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke also joined the cast on Wednesday. These two round out a stacked cast list that already included Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell, Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson and, of course, Robert Downey Jr

I was looking forward to this flick before. Now I can't fuckin' wait for it.

  1. I couldn't agree more - she's hot, and I'm a chick. Its nice to hear a man with some sense. I drug a male friend to "He's Just Not That Into You" and he argued forever that he just didn't see it. It almost had me questioning his sexuality.

  2. I'm sure dude at least acknowledged the fact that she's got a smokin' hot body. Not sure how anybody could deny that.

  3. Come to think of it, he did actually. As much as I tease that particular friend, he's quite hetero - hence he couldn't totally deny she's hot. Still, it's comforting to hear that men think she's as hot as I do... I was beginning to wonder about MY sexuality. Truth be told though, I'd do her. ;)

  4. "Truth be told though, I'd do her." -- And with that, I'm speechless.

  6. I agree, Mr. Stallone. Ryan Reynolds is a lucky, lucky dude.

  8. And I hereby declare that the hottest picture posted @ Funktards thus far ... though the Apple babe is a very close second (and doesn't enjoy the luxury of being a household name).

  9. I think I'm putting the Apple babe ahead of this one ... even though I noticed the computer before I actually noticed her.
