This news is really no surprise as it has been reported that Blunt was originally up for the role  of Black Widow and Captain Marvel before the studio ultimately decided going with Scarlett Johansson and Brie Larson. So there is some past history with Marvel and Blunt. What role would you like to Emily Blunt take on? We love the obvious answer, Sue Storm in a Fantastic Four reboot alongside her husband John Krasinski as Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic.

Time will tell if Blunt will finally take the on a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but we are anxiously waiting. Disney and movie fans alike can next see her in Walt Disney Studios Jungle Cruise, based on the classic Disneyland attraction, when it hits theaters on July 24, 2020.
