One of our loyal readers was being especially vigilant today while listening to the Howard Stern show with special guest Eliza Dushku. Dushku is doing press for her new series, Dollhouse, which premieres tomorrow night on FOX.  The actress had to learn a variety of languages for the Joss Whedon project, including Russian, which sparked a light bulb – she could play the Russian born super spy-slash-assassin Black Widow in Iron Man the Deuce.

Eliza asked Howard to reach out to Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau on her behalf and urges her fans and anyone who thinks this is a good idea to start an online movement to put her in the part.  The sexy 28 year old also mentioned another movie factoid – she played Mary Jane opposite friend Tobey Maguire in his audition.  You know, if she would have dyed her hair red, she probably would have been a better choice than Dunst.  Just sayin’.  Special thanks to Christopher M. for this one.

What do you think of Eliza Dushku as Natalia Romanova, aka The Black Widow?
