Emily Blunt is a star on the rise.

After a couple of critically-acclaimed roles in The Devil Wears Prada and Charlie Wilson's War, Blunt has landed the female lead opposite Matt Damon in the upcoming sci-fi thriller The Adjustment Bureau.

As first reported by Variety, the actress will portray a mysterious ballerina that throws smooth-talking Damon's character - a sleek Congressman - into turmoil when she walks into his life, sending events spinning out of control.

Emily Blunt is out of Iron Man 2.

But she's in for the Forgetting Sarah Marshall follow-up, Get Him to the Greek.

According to Moviehole, Blunt will portray a pop musician who “may duet” with Russell Brand's character, Aldous Snow, in the Judd Apatow-produced comedy.

Reportedly, Jason Segel is writing songs for the sequel, which will likely focus on Brand's hilarious music talent. We can't wait.

Might Emily Blunt portray Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2?

The character is a Soviet super spy that doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

If verified, Blunt will join the previously-announced villains Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell in the sequel.

Blunt's film resume includes The Devil Wears Prada, The Jane Austen Book Club and Charlie Wilson's War.

Iron Man 2 is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release.

James McAvoy and Emily Blunt are in negotiations to portray the title roles of Gnomeo and Juliet, a CGI-animated Shakespeare adaptation from Miramax and Elton John's Rocket Pictures.

The movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter, will feature several classic songs by the iconic singer.

In the loose and edgy adaptation of Shakespeare's rather well-known play, McAvoy (Atonement) and Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) will play lovers from rival gardens.

John, who is producing alongside his offscreen partner David Furnish, Baker Bloodworth and Steve Hamilton Shaw, is rumored to be pursuing big-name talent to voice supporting roles.
