Rebecca Hall Next In Line To Star In 'Iron Man 3'

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rebecca Hall is next in line to star opposite Robert Downey, Jr. in Iron Man 3 as a scientist who specializes in nanotechnology. The Town star will take over the role after Jessica Chastain announced that she would have to decline a part in the film due to scheduling conflicts.

Chastain wrote on her facebook page: “I’m 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.”

Hall’s role will be the intellectual equal of Tony Stark. Although it’s not confirmed, it’s possible that the part is that of Dr. Maya Hansen, a character responsible for the nanotechnology that is said to be a key part of the sequel’s focus.

Shane Black will be directing Iron Man 3. Shooting is scheduled to begin this month in China and in North Carolina, with an expected release date of May 2013.

Iron Man’s teammate Thor is gearing up for his sequel as well. Thor 2 is expected to hit theaters November 15, 2013.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
