Trivia

• Blunt had several close calls being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
  • Blunt was originally cast in the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2, but at the end, she passed the role to Scarlett Johansson due scheduling conflicts with Gulliver's Travels.
  • Blunt was once offered the role of Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger, but she declined and at the end, Hayley Atwell was cast instead.
  • Blunt was offered the role of Captain Marvel in the film of the same name, but the role was given to Brie Larson.
  • Following her husband John Krasinski's portrayal of Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Blunt was heavily considered to play the role of Invisible Woman. However, she had no interest in the part and Krasinski was promised only having to play the character once. Blunt has since acted coy about being cast in a Marvel film, claiming that doing one of those movies doesn't interest her.
• Blunt reprised her role as Juliet in the 2018 film Sherlock Gnomes, the sequel to Gnomeo & Juliet. Unlike the previous film, Sherlock Gnomes was released by Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer without any involvement from Disney. Therefore, it is not covered on this wiki.
• Blunt, Jack Black, Jason Segel, Chris O'Dowd, Billy Connolly, T.J. Miller, Catherine Tate, and James Corden have all worked on the 2010 film Gulliver's Travels, directed by Rob Letterman.
