An unknown actress with the curiously Scandinavian-sounding name “Scarlett Johansson” has overcome incredible odds and successfully managed to look not unattractive in the new poster for Iron Man 2. You might even say that the actress, heretofore best known for her voice roles in Robot Chicken and The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, looks somewhat “seductive” and “alluring,” although we can’t say for sure until our statisticians are done crunching the numbers. We can all agree that Ms. Johansson makes a compelling argument for a new federal law mandating all Hollywood actresses henceforth wear only skintight bodysuits in every movie ever.
All joking aside, kids, this new poster is the latest indication that the superhero sequel, which hits theaters in May 7, is going to be one hell of a ride. It’s still not quite clear how closely Johansson’s Black Widow is going to hew to the comic book version, but it’s nice to see that they’re keeping the character’s iconic bracelets, which can fire all sorts of helpful things (gas pellets, grappling hooks, etc.).
Are you excited to see Johansson vamp it up in Iron Man 2, PopWatchers? Does the fact that both Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow are rocking red hair for the sequel get you excited for a Ginger Face-off? (Keep in mind: no matter what this guy says, they don’t have souls.) Also, since there are rumors that staring at this poster for too long can incite minor psychotic episodes in the mind of the human male, we here at PopWatch recommend only looking at it through tinted glasses, or with the aid of a mirror shield.
She looks hot, but the other vesion of the poster that showcases her butt has some unfortunately placed flames. Makes it look like she farts fire.
OMG you are so right! Too funny!

Her breast is ginormous
I don’t really care for Scarlett Johansson, so I’m seeing the movie in spite of her.
She’s definitely not ugly, but she’s overrated in the looks department in my opinion.
As a preemptive strike toward immature posters without self awareness, I am not jealous nor am I fat.
You don’t like Scarlett, yet you are going to see the movie to spite her? That wouldn’t exactly be spiting her. Did you mean to say that you WON’T see the movie to spite her?
whatevs said IN SPITE, not TO SPITE. There’s a difference.
No, he said “in spite of her.” It means she is a negative point to the movie to him, but he wants to see it anyway.
Dude, I’m a straight chick and I would consider UNDER rated in the looks department. She is absolutely beautiful and a kick-@ss body.
Oops, sorry I read it too quickly and thought whatevs said “to spite her” instead of “in spite of her.” My bad.
S.J. is stolen biological material, taken against will and formed to clones line 200 pieces total. DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS, sign of dangerous criminal activity.
Um, “unknown actress”? Can EW please get someone over the age of 15 and has at least a little bit of film knowledge to write these things? Ghost World, Girl With a Pearl Earring, The Prestige, The Black Dahlia, Match Point, Lost in Translation, The Island, The Horse Whisperer? Hardly an unknown actress you moron.
Hey aaron it’s called sarcasm google it some time.
Hey, go get a dictionary and look up the word: Irony.
Aaron, dear, relax. The description was tongue-in-cheek.
haha this is hilarious
The second paragraph starts off “All joking aside…” It’s called sarcasm dude, look it up.
I love it when self-righteousness goes awry.
@aaron: i know right? i mean what a dummy for not knowing who scarly jojo is. what kind of jipjoint is this? have they no shame? she’s not just the spongebob girl, but how did they forget about that time she supposedly banged the wolfman in an elevator and then ran away to marry the green lantern? i mean… how could they?
ps. get a brain on sale now at amazon.com for the price of you’re an idiot.
The elevator story was BS because there are cameras all over the elevators and you know,it would have sold as a porn for big bucks. Besides,there is no room in those elevators to do anything and besides,this girl doesn’t even do nude scenes so I highly doubt she will be doing the dirty in the elevator between floors.
@Aaron–The writer is obviously making a joke. Who stole your sense of irony? Or did you ever even have one?
It doesn’t really look like a photo to me on the poster–I actually think it’s a digitized version of her.
um- ill take two… thanks!
@aaron: I’m pretty sure it’s called “sarcasm”.
Two things I love about this.
1.)The “That’s What I Call a Face” tag with this item…because we’re all totally looking at her face.
2.) I glanced at her face by accident and was amused by the near-Blue Steel expression and pose.
I love how some of you are reprimanding poor Aaron, while saying the joking was irony – because that is not irony. Sarcasm, it is. Irony, it is not.
And agreed, she does look good in this poster.
Whatever about Scarlett… Robert Downey Jr. y’all.
Todd, dude: Irony it is; sarcasm it ain’t. Sarcasm often employs irony (“the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning”: http://bit.ly/tnpF) to achieve its cutting intent. (The roor of “sarcasm” is the Greek “sarkazein”, meaning to cut or rend [flesh].) But this piece is obviously intended for rutting, not cutting.
Well this whole Marvel Movieverse – Avengers thing is like some enormous geek wet dream! I may be a full grown adult now but I can’t wait to see part 3 of the Avenger imitative (I know it isn’t that, but it’s what Nick Fury (Sam Jackson’s Ultimate Fury) says at the 2nd end of Iron Man, and Tony Stark to General Ross at the end of Incredible Hulk. With Black Widow and War Machine joining the list, and with much more Nick Fury we’ve got a pretty good Ultimate Avengers line up and we haven’t even seen Thor or Captain America yet.
PS How bad was the 3D conversion of Clash of the Titans. It looks like it was done on a weekend by students who couldn’t be bothered and went to the pub instead.
