Turns out Jessica Chastain won’t be in Iron Man 3 after all.
Earlier this month, we reported that the actress was in talks to join the upcoming super hero sequel as a female version of Tony Stark. The actress reportedly had an opening in her schedule that would have allowed her to join the film.
However, those reports were pre-mature.
“Sorry to say that Iron Man 3 isn’t going to work out. My schedule is jammed packed and I can’t fit anything else in,” Chastain wrote on her Facebook page. “The press announced my possible attachment far too soon. I know many of you wanted me to be involved, and I’m so sorry to disappoint you.”
That doesn’t mean Chastain won’t consider a Marvel movie in the future.
“Hopefully there’ll be another Marvel film in my future,” she says. “Shane Black and everyone on the IM3 team are really wonderful. I’m very excited to see the film when it comes out.”

That sucks, but it’s understandable.
