The Black Widow is a sexy Soviet spy – a role that could dovetail with reports that Mickey Rourke is in talks to play Russian villain the Crimson Dynamo.

Sam Rockwell is also reportedly in talks to play another villain in the film, which will feature the return of Robert Downey Jr. in the title role and Jon Favreau as director.
