The Collider:
Disney and Marvel have tapped Rebecca Hall (The Prestige) for the female lead of Iron Man 3. The powers that be have moved quickly to initiate talks with Hall, as the previous frontrunner for the role, Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life), turned them down only yesterday, citing scheduling issues. All the better for Hall, who can prepare for her role as a “sexy scientist” who rivals Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark in intelligence. The third installment will feature the return of Downey Jr. after his scene-stealing turn in The Avengers, along with Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle. Guy Pearce will join the fun and Sir Ben Kingsley is on board to play the villain. Production on the Shane Black-directed Iron Man 3 starts this month in North Carolina before heading off to China en route to a May 3rd, 2013 release date. Hit the jump for more on Hall’s role and the overall plot of Iron Man 3.
Isabela Merced stoked the flames of the upcoming superhero battle at the box office.
No, the funniest movie of all time isn’t ‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian.’
Brian Skiba's Gunslingers borrows too much and offers too little.
Cool...I like her.
=\....they coulda done better.
I think she's good..I liked her in The Town with Ben Affleck too. We'll have to wait and see.
The more important news is that they'll be getting inspiration from the Extremis Iron Man books . An excellent story that basically gave him super powers . It could have easily been a mess , but back then it was one of the best thing that happened to Iron Man , along with the movies
Ben Kingsley? Of Prince of Persia and Blood Rayne fame? Doomed.
