Emma Watson won't be in 'Black Widow'

gif taken from Ranker.

[Version française]




According to The Hollywood Reporter, Florence Pugh is currently in talks for the role. And according to another source I forgot to save (damn me), she was the favourite among the other actresses all along.

Well, how many more months before we get news about a new movie again? Anyone taking bets?

"Fun" fact: Florence will play one of the March sisters alongside Emma in 'Little Women'. The promotion tour should start around October/November unless the movie makes it to festivals then it should be sooner.

Kind of figured, i dont think many people saw Emma in that type of role anyway to be honest but glad she at least auditioned for it.

Well that's embarrassing, beaten to a "kick ass female Bond" type role by someone named Florence*.




*(With apologies to Mrs Brady and the lady with the lamp).

lol great gif usage, Eden.

Here's a bit of news I saw: Emma will have an essay included in a book Emma Thompson is editing. Found here https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2019/0316/1036828-elton-johns-as-yet-unnamed-memoir-on-the-way-in-autumn/

In my opinion, activism hurts her career. After she finished filming the circle (end of 2015), she was not on the set until Little women and its only because Emma Stone was not available.

Eden said...

@JL: unfortunately it's Emily Watson.

JL said...

@Eden: Ahh too bad! So annoying how the media still mixes them up.

Gacek870 I'd say it's also because she doesn't want to. She obviously tried to be forgotten.

According to a thread that was shared from 4Chan the day before this was announced, she had turned it down.

Honestly, I don't get some of the career choices she makes. Would've loved to see her in a role like this.

Gacek870 said...

Thaïs So what is the point of being an actress?

Dj Anubis said...

I think she may have just re-evaluated where she wants her career path to go. I think following Potter she really wanted to continue to be an actress (which explains the more roles she took on back then) but since Beauty i think she has slowed down because i think she would rather do acting as more of a hobby than actual career.

She has enough money now to where she can pursue other interests and not rely on the movie industry anymore. IMO

Gacek870 said...

Dj Anubis Yeah she took more roles back then, but let's be honest, only in The Perks of Being a Wallflower she had a memorable role, the other ones was kinda mediocre.

I love Emma Watson and I love Marvel movies but I'm glad she didn't get this role. I just don't see her as a marvel character and also her acting isn't that great unfortunately to fit into that dimension . :|

I hope she turned it down in order to take something else

Yikes. I wonder why she turned it down. Maybe the script was slightly sexist?

Gacek870 said...

She did not turn it down, Florence Pugh was the only one who got an offer.

The marvel movies are trash and Watson is an actually good actress of course she isn't doing it
Not one good actress in any of those marvel movies lmao
She would have elevated that movie and actually made me want to watch, otherwise marvel movies are terrible.
Emma Stone is the one who is regulated to bad superhero movies

"Not one good actress in any of those marvel movies lmao"

Quick google of 'Marvel Cinematic Universe Actresses' includes the following;
Glenn Close
Scarlett Johansson
Lupita Nyong'o
Elizabeth Olsen
Natalie Portman
Tilda Swinton

Now I have no interest in the Marvel movies, but to somehow suggest they are beneath an actress such as Emma Watson is nonsense.

FWIW I consider each of those listed (plus Emma Stone)as superior actresses to Emma W.

Marvel has a lot of great actresses. Somebody has been smoking a bit to much of the happy weed.
