Jessica Chastain Has 'Never' Talked With Marvel Studios About Playing CAPTAIN MARVEL

The Interstellar star has taken to Twitter to confirm Carol Danvers is neither the superheroine she and Marvel Studios are currently discussing, nor is it the character she recently referred to passing on.

During an interview with MTV News posted earlier today, Jessica Chastain had confirmed that, after turning down a "boring civilian role" in Iron Man 3, she and Marvel Studios have talked about joining forces on another project. Without going into specifics, the two-time Oscar-nominated actress also said that she came close to nabbing a role where "there was a possibility [...] of the character becoming" a full-on superheroine in the future. This has caused some to believe that she was referring to Carol Danvers a.k.a Captain Marvel, who is heavily rumored to be introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron next summer before getting her own standalone movie on July 6, 2018.

Well, despite Jessica Chastain acknowledging later during the same MTV interview that she knows about the Captain Marvel movie and its release date, the Interstellar star has taken to Twitter to set one thing straight. "Oops uh oh...." she tweeted, "I've never had talks about Captain Marvel. Was referring to a different film from over a year ago, in my recent MTV interview." Of course, this does not rule out Jessica Chastain as a potential candidate for Carol Danvers... whenever casting for the Captain Marvel movie gets officially underway (if it hasn't already). However, it could mean there is another Marvel character that she's considering playing. What do you think?

AlexanderLykins - But first who are these real candidates?!

JAC - 11/3/2014, 6:45 PM

@AlexanderLykins What "real candidates"? There are no candidates, just names people are picking out of hats.

ScottMontgomery - 11/3/2014, 6:48 PM

Dammit!

ScottMontgomery - 11/3/2014, 6:48 PM

I don't care she'd would be great in a Marvel role, if Marvel hasn't talked to her yet they should now.

Itsbeenfun - 11/3/2014, 6:49 PM

I second @ScottMontgomery's comments.

JasonBlue - 11/3/2014, 6:51 PM

She should be Batwoman in Batffleck's Bat Universe

MarvelWeiner - 11/3/2014, 6:52 PM

How about...

JasonBlue - 11/3/2014, 6:52 PM

They probably wanted her to play one of the twins

Reasonnnn - 11/3/2014, 6:53 PM

@JasonBlue Chastain shouldn't be regulated to effin batwoman

JamesMan - 11/3/2014, 6:54 PM

-patiently waits for the news that Captain Marvel is cancelled yet knows it'll never happen because Marvel survives off of his tears-

fatcobra - 11/3/2014, 6:55 PM

They wanted her for Maya Hansen in IM3, but she doesn't want to be just a love interest.

TheSoulEater - 11/3/2014, 6:55 PM

@AlexanderLykins

Tell me more of these "real candidates."

Starfox - 11/3/2014, 6:56 PM

Emily Blunt is perfect for the role. A little too perfect.. lol

JasonBlue - 11/3/2014, 6:56 PM

Batwoman is [frick]ing awesome. She's too nice to play Poison Ivy.

JasonBlue - 11/3/2014, 6:57 PM

Emily Blunt should play Hawkgirl. Not bloody Captain Marvel.

fatcobra - 11/3/2014, 6:58 PM

Also, Abbie Cornish for Cap. Marvel!!!

Dingbat - 11/3/2014, 7:00 PM

I'd be down for either of these

It's not just because of her red hair...I swear

ScottMontgomery - 11/3/2014, 7:00 PM

@JasonBlue
Jessica Chastain is just not right for Batgirl. She is a great actress, but she is to old to play the character. Chastain is 37 and Affleck is 42... We can't have a Batgirl who is only 5 years younger than a semi retired Batman.

CharlesLord - 11/3/2014, 7:03 PM

cool, hire her as medusa and lets get this show on the road!!!

CapsShield - 11/3/2014, 7:03 PM

Jessica was in talks to play Jessica................Jones. duh!

JasonBlue - 11/3/2014, 7:03 PM

@ScottMontgomery I said Batwoman NOT Batgirl... They are different characters.

Hulksta - 11/3/2014, 7:04 PM

XelCorp - 11/3/2014, 7:05 PM

I'm I the only one here that can see her as Medusa?

DCGuy - 11/3/2014, 7:07 PM

she's too old for Cpt marvel...unless capt marvel is 42 in her comic/movie...like jessica would be in 2018

SnapperCarr - 11/3/2014, 7:07 PM

She needs to be Medusa.

XelCorp - 11/3/2014, 7:09 PM

[FRICK] I can't WAIT for Inhumans.
