Is 'Edge of Tomorrow' Star Emily Blunt Up For Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Role?

Emily Blunt stars in the sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise this week, but she could have a part in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 if a recent rumor proves true.

A site called El Multicine reports Blunt is up for an unidentified role (translated on Comic Book Movie):

"The actress Emily Blunt will land on billboards worldwide with her film Edge of Tomorrow, in what appears to be a great science fiction role. Now her name returns to the orbit of comic adaptations with her possible incorporation in Batman v Superman, directed by Zack Snyder, a film that has been shooting since last month."

It's important to note that the validity of this site and rumor are questionable, as this is not one of the typical rumor mill sites that tends to be on point with its reports. Still, the rumor is noteworthy because Blunt has been offered comic book movie roles in the past and turned them down.

Blunt was Marvel's first choice to play Black Widow in Iron Man 2, but she declined and the role went to Scarlett Johansson. Marvel then offered her the role of Agent Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger, a part that went to Hayley Atwell. For the record, Johansson is now one of the biggest and highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, and Atwell has earned a spinoff television series based on her character.
