"Jessica Chastain has confirmed that she will not appear in Iron Man 3. It was reported last month that Chastain had been offered the part of a scientist billed as a match for Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), and that efforts were being made to work out her scheduling conflicts. &amp;quot;Sorry to say that Iron Man 3 isn&amp;#039;t going to work out. My schedule is jammed packed and I can&amp;#039;t fit anything else in,&amp;quot; Chastain wrote on her Facebook page.  &amp;quot;The press announced my possible attachment far too soon. I know many of you wanted me to be involved, and I&amp;#039;m so sorry to disappoint you.&amp;quot; Chastain is currently working on Kathryn Bigelow&amp;#039;s Osama Bin Laden movie Zero Dark Thirty. She is also attached to appear alongside Joel Edgerton, one of her co-stars in the film, in Ned Benson&amp;#039;s double feature The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. &amp;quot;Hopefully there&amp;#039;ll be another Marvel film in my future,&amp;quot; the Oscar-nominated actress continued. &amp;quot;Shane Black and everyone on the IM3 team are really wonderful.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very excited to see the film when it comes out.&amp;quot; Watch a trailer for Robert Downey Jr&amp;#039;s The Avengers below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
