Emily Blunt is rarely if ever viewed as someone who would play a 'dark' or evil role but if the rumours are correct about her role in the movie "The Huntsman" that is the role she will be playing and it is a great way to prevent herself from becoming predictable as an actress.

There are certain terms that an elite actress does not want associated with her name and 'predictable' is one of those names that is at or near the top of the list. If a filmmaker or fans can see an actor in a film and basically know what type of role they will play in the film they undermine the plot of the movie and while no one is calling Emily Blunt 'predictable' she is someone who fans almost never imagined as a villain or dark femme fatale.
However, the rumours that she will be playing a 'villain' role in the movie "The Huntsman" alongside Charlize Theron are providing a massive boost to her acting image as entertainment fans are talking excitedly about the opportunity to see her play an evil character, something that will likely shock viewers and add to her appeal.

Emily Blunt playing a 'dark' character will likely enhance her desirability as a potential lead actress to dramatic filmmakers and make her presence in films more appealing because viewers will no longer be able to immediately see her name and identify her as someone who will be on the side of the good guys in a movie.
This English actress has entertainment fans excited about her taking a 'dark' turn with her acting career because now she has people wondering how she will perform as a character with evil intent.
Variety is sometimes considered the 'spice of life' and Emily Blunt is now being talked about as someone whom fans are looking forward to seeing be 'bad'.
Emily Blunt is no longer 'predictable' in the eyes of some entertainment fans, a new assessment that will only enhance her status as a leading lady in Hollywood.
