Marvel has released a new image of Rebecca Hall from IRON MAN 3 and it’s…well, it’s Rebecca Hall. Sitting down. Smiling. So, yeah, it probably won’t do much, other than reaffirm that she is, indeed, a lovely-looking actress and remind you that she is, in fact, in this movie. I thought Hall was great in THE TOWN and VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA and she’s got the smart/sexy vibe going on, so her presence in a Marvel movie is well-deserved. I’m not even going to attempt to analyze the pic any further, so feel free to speculate.
It’s long been rumored that Hall will act as a competing love interest for Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark, which I think could make for some interesting conflict between them and Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Pepper Potts. It’ll be the first love triangle in the Marvel universe films! I jest, but I think it would actually be a good direction to go in challenging Stark and Potts’ relationship. Otherwise, it’s just more witty banter between the two.
Aside from IRON MAN 3, Rebecca Hall can be seen in the upcoming HBO mini-series Parade’s End with Benedict Cumberbatch. IRON MAN 3 hits theaters on May 3, 2013.
