Here's what Black Widow will look like in 'The Avengers'

Marvel is on a roll. After releasing art work of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, they just unleashed a pretty cool art piece of what Scarlett Johansson will look like as Black Widow in "The Avengers," which Joss Whedon is helming. Full look after the jump.

Johansson will reprise her role as Natasha Romanoff, one of many characters leading the anticipated superhero flick, which opens everywhere May 4, 2012. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson co-star.

It's safe to say that "The Avengers" is one of the biggest films of next year, and with sexy Black Widow on board, it should be quite enjoyable to watch. Johansson's appearance (and battle) in "Iron Man 2" is still one of my favorite moments from that flick.

Scarlett Johansson will play sext alien chick

Scarlett Johansson will pay an attractive alien woman in Jonathan Glazer's upcoming sci-fi drama "Under the Skin," which will go into production next year. No kidding. This already sounds pretty intriguing.

THR says Glazer wrote the script with Walter Campbell. Johansson's character "scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey -- her voracious sexuality."

Convinced? "She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth." Sexy Johansson ("Iron Man 2") will also show up as Black Widow in "The Avengers."

Joss Whedon talks ladies in 'The Avengers'

"The Avengers" is gearing up to shoot next year, and Joss Whedon is already spilling some details when it comes to the anticipated blockbuster starring all of our favorite superheroes. Here's the latest:

Speaking with The Sunday Herald-Sun (via Moviehole), Whedon mentioned there will be more than one female character in the film. "It is true that the movie is only going to have one female avenger," he said.

Okay, so there he talks about Scarlett Johansson's awesome kick-ass character Black Widow. "But she will not be the only female character," he added. Ah, more female characters as promised.

He also talked story and said, "It will be a new story that has many things from different arcs of the comics in it. You really have to cull from the original and 'The Ultimates,' which is one of 'The Avengers' titles."

Movie Review: "Iron Man 2"

Seen on: May 4, 2010

The players: Director: Jon Favreau, Writer: Justin Theroux, Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow

Facts of interest: Stay put at the end of the credits! A surprise awaits you!

The plot: Tony Stark is back in action, and this time, he has to battle Whiplash, who teams up with Justin Hammer to bring down Iron Man for good.

Our thoughts: Tony Stark is back in action in Jon Favreau’s anticipated sequel “Iron Man 2,” and while the lead hero is still in solid shape, the movie itself is showing some weaknesses. No, it’s not a big deal, really, but compared to its fantastic predecessor, “Iron Man 2” falls a bit short. That’s not to say the movie sucks, because truth be told, it’s still a very entertaining, explosive second installment.

Clip no. 2 is a funny little talk between Stark and his rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell).

"Iron Man 2" opens May 7, 2010, and the press folks in Los Angeles already got to see the flick. We over here have to wait a little longer, but I would be lying if I said I was not excited about this. In fact, I can't wait to see this thing. On top of that, I wil make sure to catch it in IMAX, and so should you, don't you think?

International teaser poster for 'Iron Man 2'

Earlier this week we got a good look at the first teaser poster for Jon Favreau's upcoming sequel "Iron Man 2," and now, Empire has released the international poster for the film that opens May 7, 2010.

International posters are often a tad more exciting than the domestic versions, but this one certainly isn't. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit disappointed. Check out the much better, more original U.S. poster here.

Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, and he's got his hands full in "Iron Man 2." Don Cheadle stars as War Machine, Sam Rockwell plays Justin Hammer, and Mickey Rourke plays Whiplash.
