Director Jon Favreau told the folks at The Playlist this week that Fox has exercised its option to have Emily Blunt co-star in "Gulliver's Travels".Blunt is now officially unavailable to star in the Iron Man 2, as Russian super spy Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.

As for Mickey Rourke playing the villain, all Favreau said is he "isn't officially cast but that he is a fan." Translation: It's a question of cash...
