This morning on the Howard Stern radio show, hottie actress Eliza Dushku showed up to plug her new TV series Dollhouse, but when the topic turned to movies, and Iron Man II, she couldn't keep herself from campaigning for a part in the coming comic book movie.
What part does she want to play? That of Natalia Romanova, a KGB super spy code named Black Widow.
Last we heard, the part was already offered to Emily Blunt, the vaguely sexy secy of The Devil Wears Prada, but conflicting shooting schedules and a contractual obligation with 20th Century Fox's remake of Gulliver's Travels may cause her to abandon the role, leaving an opening for Eliza.
Talking to Stern, Dushku commented:
They're doing 'Iron Man 2,' and I'm so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into it. They need to understand ... I just learned Russian because I had to play a Russian girl in 'Dollhouse.'
From the serious sound of her appeal, her desire is not just radio show banter, but she really wants in. Before she left the studio she pleaded with Stern's audience to convince Marvel Studios to give her a tryout:
Maybe we could all tell them. Let's get on a Black Widow 'Iron Man 2' campaign.
No objections here. Eliza Dushku is significantly hotter than Emily Blunt. Look it up.
