Emily Blunt hasn’t appeared on screen as either Black Widow and Peggy Carter because she was never offered the roles at "the right time".
The 31-year-old actress was linked to the roles from the Marvel comic books, but has revealed scheduling never allowed her to accept either part.
Asked whether she held talks about appearing as Black Widow and Peggy Carter, Emily shared: "Yeah, but it was never the right time, really, and it just didn’t work out scheduling-wise with those two. It’s always a difficult thing to talk about, because it’s not fair to the actresses who ended up playing them, you know? It just wasn’t the right time."
The ‘Into The Woods’ actress has also revealed how much she enjoyed starring alongside Meryl Streep in the new movie, following their success with ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
She told Vulture: "Meryl was like a mama bear on set. She was always on pee patrol, making sure I got time to pee whenever I wanted to. ‘Guys, cut! Emily needs to use the bathroom — again!’ [Laughs.] It was that kind of thing."
Emily also confirmed she’d like to appear in a full theatrical production of ‘Into The Woods’.
She said: "That would be kind of amazing! I would be up for it. I’d be terrified, but I’d be up for it. And then you’d really be put to the test, to sing live. But we’d have to get the whole gang."
