Rebecca Hall In Talks For Jessica Chastain Dropped 'Iron Man 3' Role

Deadline is reporting that Rebecca Hall is in talks to join Iron Man 3. Originally, the role was being offered to Jessica Chastain but Chastain recently announced on her Facebook page that she had to reject the role because of scheduling conflicts. Hall will be playing the role of a scientist rivaling Stark in her genius and skills but she will not be playing Iron Man 3’s female lead. Gwyneth Paltrow will return as Pepper Potts. Paltrow, who was in both previous Iron Man movies, made a short appearance as Potts with Iron Man himself Tony Stark in the recently released The Avengers.
