Jessica Chastain in talks for Iron Man 3!


Huh, of all people we would have never have guessed. "The Tree Of Life" star and The Playlist's Woman of 2011, Jessica Chastain is apparently is back in talks to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Marvel Studios' upcoming super hero flick "Iron Man 3."

Evidently Chastain was in some kind of talks, those fell apart and now "The Help" star and Oscar-nominated star is back in the conversation to play what is described as a sexy scientist every bit as smart as Tony Stark. Evidently there were scheduling issues with the Joel Edgerton/Samantha Morton movie, "The Disapperance of Eleanor Rigby" and Kathryn Bigelow's untitled drama about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden (referred to as "Thirty Dark Zero" in some corners of the Internet), but it sounds like they may have been resolved.

Directed by Shane Black, known for writing the "Lethal Weapon" series, new stars joining the "Iron Man" franchise so far include Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce. Apparently Marvel had been meeting with actresses like Diane Kruger, Gemma Arterton and Isla Fisher, but that's now changing because of Chastain's apparent availability. Will she sign on? Stay tuned to see how this one nets out.

They are filming this in my town.

The code name for the filming is "Caged Heat."
ratchetry 24th-Apr-2012 01:06 am (UTC)
Lol @ that code name
madd_asa_hatter 24th-Apr-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
Right there with you. When they announced that there were open auditions for "Caged Heat" this weekend, facebook was all a twitter about an open porn casting.

RDJ was on Finding Your Roots on PBS last night. I might be related to him. Diana Jenkem is probably going to kill me now.

Well ofc she must be sexy. You can't have a female me equal to Tony Shark without being sexy or she would have no value at all. rme

JFC that pisses me off so much. I know some incredibly brilliant women in our biology/immunology/infectious diseases departments on campus, who have or are obtaining their PhDs. They could hurt you with their brains and/or research.

A PhD isn't earned by looking hot. It's earned by being an academic badass. And frankly, I'd take a sassy science conversation over looking hot any day.

Marvel Studios infuriate me to no end. I will never forgive them for their white washing. <_< On the note of comic adaptations and women - and sexiness: It still gets me that nobody puts as much emphasis on casting a 'hot guy' as Bruce Wayne despite it being rather important that he's deemed sexually attractive by women - hence why the gossip mags actually give a f- about who he's seducing.

(Sorry, that first gif was more sarcastic than I remembered.lol)

Although, TBH, since every female in any comic is inevitably sexy (I mean, they even overly sexualize Sin, gross), I suppose they consider it "sticking to canon". :P

i'm liking the names of these prospects...

after the mess that was iron man 2, she is way too good for this franchise tbqh, but get that paycheck gurl
thepapermill 24th-Apr-2012 01:17 am (UTC)
eh the iron man films have notoriously low paychecks for the actors
roguewave3 24th-Apr-2012 01:19 am (UTC)
Isn't that why Terrance "Baby Wipe" Howard didn't sign on to the second film?
lovejoydiver 24th-Apr-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
lol well i remember reading somewhere that she was only paid something like $50 or so everyday for take shelter, so i'm sure it'll be at least a step up from that.
ratchetry 24th-Apr-2012 01:26 am (UTC)
The whole Iron Man series is meh to me but I hope she gets exposure!
bottomofursoul 24th-Apr-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
I might be the only one but I loved Iron Man 2.

what other kind is there

gemma would have made a good madame masque
ljubavirakija 24th-Apr-2012 01:19 am (UTC)
Gosh. She would make a great Poison Ivy.
prettyfoot 24th-Apr-2012 01:19 am (UTC)
I wonder who she is going to be playing... Doesn't Hammer's wife and daughter have a story line in the comics?
ohprecioustime 24th-Apr-2012 01:20 am (UTC)
so tired of super hero films -__-
do we really need a third Iron Man, most uninteresting superhero next to the Green Latern
ninjacandy 24th-Apr-2012 01:58 am (UTC)
green lantern isn't uninteresting.

girl, you want to talk uninteresting? direct your comments to mr. fantastic.
mf_luder_xf 24th-Apr-2012 06:02 am (UTC)
BLASPHEMY. Iron Man is far more interesting than any superhero out there. (I'm with you on Green Lantern being boring, though.)
fancycarousel 24th-Apr-2012 01:21 am (UTC)
Saw Take Shelter, i am confused about that movie..
roguewave3 24th-Apr-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
