Emily Blunt Turns Down Captain America!

Filed under: Film Flickers > Keira Knightley > Emily Blunt

Marvel didn't think it'd be that easy, did they?

Although they've secured Chris Evans for the lead in the much-anticipated Captain America flick, actress Emily Blunt has turned down the studio's offer to play Captain America's girlfriend, Peggy Carter!

Sources say Keira Knightley and Alice Eve may be on Marvel's list to ask next.

Who would U like to see in the role of Peggy?

If her fiance John Krasinski had been cast she probably would have said yes, is this because she's pissed he didn't get it?

And Kiera Knightly can play his sidekick "Giant Floating Head" With her magic powers of Annorexia she flies around zapping villians and causing them to look in mirrors, cry, starve themselves and complain about how fat they are before finally dying of malnutrition induced heart attacks.

Rumor has it (from inside sources) that she turned it down because there is a very good possibility she will be Selena Kyle in Batman3. Personally I hope that part goes to Marion Cotillard. I'll bet Bale does too. Also pay attention to the cast of Inception. You'll see many of them cast in B3 as well.
