While I don't think getting a more athletic-looking actress would have been a bad idea either, it suits the character to look like a femme fatale in this case - i.e. someone who can easily be underestimated.
I just wish ScarJo actually did some training or something so she didn't have to have a double in every action scene. Oh, the horrible wigs and the face shoop! Why is our cgi not better. So much suspension of disbelief breaking uncanny valley to be had. Why is it when actors get hired for an action role their first response is to GET JACKED and when actresses land one they're like DIET AND MAKEOVER AND PUSHUP BRA?
No, don't answer that, I already know and am depressed. I'll go watch Haywire again and cry softly into my moonfoods.
