It looks likeEmily Bluntwon’t be joining theFantastic Fourcast.
On Wednesday, theA Quiet Placeactress, 38, virtually visitedThe Howard Stern Showand dispelled rumors that she would play the Invisible Woman in the Marvel reboot.
“No, that is fan casting, no one has received a phone call,” Blunt told Stern, 67. “It’s just people saying, ‘Wouldn’t that be great?’ and that’s it.”
When Stern asked ifThe Devil Wears Pradastar felt like she was “too good of an actress” to act in a superhero movie, she was quick to shut down the question.

That would be awesome,” Krasinski said at the time. “Marvel wrote the playbook on secrecy and awesome sort of tantalizing lay and wait until everything’s announced. I am not committed to the role or anything, but I don’t know when they’re doing it. But if and when they do it, I would love to talk to them about it.”
