Reports are indicating Jessica Chastain is the favourite to play a starring role opposite Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 3. The role is a sexy scientist every bit as smart as Tony Stark. Jessica Chastain was originally offered the role but it looked like she was going to be preoccupied making a movie with Joel Edgerton and Samantha Morton.

Marvel then began lining up meetings with actresses Diane Kruger, Gemma Arterton and Isla Fisher. But all that has changed as Chastain’s movie has been pushed. The actress cast will join Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and potentially Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley in the third installment of the Iron Man trilogy, this one directed by Shane Black.
