UPDATED BETTER PICS! - First Look At Johansson's Black Widow In IM2

UPDATED WITH BETTER PICS! This coming Friday's issue of Entertainment Weekly will feature an Iron Man 2 cover story, which includes pictures of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Robert Downey Jr in Iron man costume without his headgear, and a dark redheaded Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. We've posted the screenshots IESB obtained from a TV ad for the magazine above. Yes, they're very crappy quality, but you take what you can get, right? Don't act like you're not interested. You know you want to see these.

It looks like this might be a special Comic Con preview issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Also, here's a few confirmed bits of info straight from /Film, where you can also check out a hi-res version of the EW cover.

* Sam Rockwell plays a fast-talking weapons manufacturer named Justin Hammer, “who fancies himself the next Tony Stark”
* Mickey Rourke plays Russian criminal Vanko, who creates his own battle-suit while incarcerated in a Soviet prison.
* Whiplash’s suit “shoots devastating, whip-like beams.”
* Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take on Stark/Iron Man,
* Rourke insisted that his character have a cockatoo, which he talks to and gets drunk with while he’s making the suit.
* Scarlett Johansson plays Russian superspy (possibly undercover?) Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow), who is hirede as Stark’s assistant which inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries.
