We didn't see it, but YouTube reporter similarly named Playlist reader Script Grrrl did and wrote in to us about what she saw, thanks!
"On E!'s post show at the red carpet of some party, Jon Favreau said that Fox exercised its ["Gulliver's Travellers"] option on Emily Blunt, and that she definitely won't be in 'Iron Man 2.' The reporter was chatting with Favreau and asking about what he can tell them about 'IM2.' He said Mickey Rourke isn't officially cast but that he is a fan. Then she asked about Emily and Favreau said that about Fox exercising their option, which I hadn't heard before. I thought they were still trying to make it work. He said he was disappointed but didn't say anything about Scarlett Johansson replacing her or anyone else taking the role."
There you have it, thanks SGrrl. We're sure official word will come soon, but looks like its a wrap for Blunt. There's always Eliza Dushku, right? PS, another reader confirms she saw the same thing as well. Strange that it's not up on the E! site already. You would have thought they would have ran with it already. Lost opportunity.

Mmmmmm... Eliza Dushku... She would look "Very nice" wrapped in tight leather!
I love her... In a purely sexual way...
lesbian.
she already HAS looked nice wrapt in leather - in, I do believe, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back... maybe it's better I kept that to myself?
i wiil instantly lose respect for favreau, the ironman franchise AND marvel if they cast Dushku. She's a terrible actress. TERRIBLE. That's like putting an amatuer karate yellowbelt in a room full of ninjas.

And to cite previous comments, yeah Jay and Silent Bob...she looked nice and the movie had its' funny moments. But seriously she can't act.
Word is that she is going to be Wonder Woman with Josh Whedon. Great it's going to be Hasselhoff as Nick Fury all over again with more action.
"i will instantly lose respect for favreau, the ironman franchise AND marvel if they cast Dushku."
fully agreed. though it sounds like Scarjo is the frontrunner and Dushku wants in.
Dushku's a talentless barbie doll. I'll be happy not to see her near any movie or TV series again.
On the other hand, Emily Blunt has real talent and it's a shame IM2 will not benefit from her presence
