More stupid movie decisions: Jessica Chastain bails out on Iron Man 3
There is something I love about watching otherwise successful people commit career suicide. Jessica Chastain, apparently feeling pretty good about her career after starring in Tree of Life, has announced she will not be in the upcoming Iron Man 3. What’s the matter, Jessica? Is the whole Iron Man/Avengers franchise not successful for you? Seriously? The Avengers nailed $207.4 million dollars this last weekend. Tree of Life grossed $13.3 million in it’s entire run, and based on Dave’s review of it I don’t know if it rated that much.
Honestly, when faced with the chance to hitch your wagon to the most successful team in the world I think it would be worth while to maybe be willing to take less money in return for the opportunity to promote yourself. I can’t imagine what kind of roles the stars of this film are being offered on a daily basis right now. Sounds like you could write your own ticket. Of course, traditionally the third movie in a series tends to feel the suck, so maybe Jessica knows something about the script we are all missing.
This very cool Iron Man I found in Dave’s Marvel Comic T shirts. I have to say I like the retro looking Iron Man from the first movie and early comics. Kind of Ming the Merciless meets Battle Bots.
