As Jessica Chastain drops out of the role of a 'sexy scientist' in Iron Man 3, is Rebecca Hall about to step into it?
There's not long to go now before the cameras start rolling on Marvel's next movie project, Iron Man 3. The film is due in cinemas in May 2013, with Robert Downey Jr reprising the title role, and Shane Black stepping into the director's chair.
The casting had been falling into place over the past few weeks, with Sir Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce amongst the additions. But as we reported yesterday, Jessica Chastain turned down the role of the film's 'sexy scientist', due to scheduling conflicts.
Instead, it seems that Rebecca Hall is set to take the role. According to Variety, she's in talks to take the part, and given that shooting starts this month, presumably those negotiations will be wrapped up fairly quickly.
