With Jessica Chastain passing on a role in Iron Man 3, actress Rebecca Hall is reportedly in talks to step into the superhero blockbuster.
Hall, best known for her work in The Town, would play sexy scientist every bit as smart as Tony Stark.
Details on the role are being kept secret at this time. Hall wouldn’t be the female lead for the film–that honor goes to Gwyneth Paltrow who will reprise her role as Pepper Potts. According to reports, Potts will have a larger role in the third Iron Man film.
