Jessica Chastain is backtracking on comments she made during an MTV News interview claiming she is in the running to bring Captain Marvel to the big screen.
The “Interstellar” actress confirmed she was up for other roles in the Marvel cinematic universe.
“We’ve talked about aligning our forces in the future. And here’s the thing with me… If you’re going to be in a superhero movie, you only get one chance,” Chastain said. “You’re that character forever. So why do a superhero movie and play the boring civilian? Whatever it is, I want a fight scene.
“I could be an incredible villain. I could be a hero. I want a cool outfit, and I want to kick ass…I don’t want to say too much – but there was one thing, there was a possibility in the future of the character becoming… And I was like, ‘I understand that, but I want to do it now.’"
Multiple outlets began to speculate that the actress is in the running to play the lead heroine in Marvel’s first female superhero film, “Captain Marvel.” Unfortunately for fans, Chastain took to her official Twitter account to clear up the comments she made to MTV.
“Oops uh oh…” the actress wrote. “I've never had talks about Captain Marvel. Was referring to a different film from over a year ago, in my recent MTV interview.”
