Many people have been calling for Blunt to be cast as Sue Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, but Blunt has expressed that she doesn’t “have a burning desire to play a superhero.”
“I really understand that [superhero movies] are like a religion for a lot of people,” Blunt explained. “They don’t appeal to me in the same way.”
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show last year, Blunt said something similar. “It’s not that it’s beneath me,” Blunt revealed. “I love Iron Man and when I got offered Black Widow. I was obsessed with Iron Man. I wanted to work with Robert Downey Jr.—it would’ve been amazing…but I don’t know if superhero movies are for me. They’re not up my alley. I don’t like them. I really don’t. It’s been exhausted. We are inundated—it’s not only all the movies, it’s the endless TV shows as well. It’s not to say that I’d never want to play one, it would just have to be something so cool and like a really cool character, and then I’d be interested.”
