While the bulk of filming for Marvel Studios' upcoming third Iron Man installment is complete, another small addition to its ensemble cast has been uncovered. Best known for her recurring role on NBC's My Name Is Earl television series, Winter Bone actress Dale Dickey told a local Knoxville, Tennessee blog:
“I'm filming now. That's it. They asked my agent not to put anything in the trades when I was cast over a month ago, so they are trying to keep as much mystery as possible.” (July 27)
Despite being contracted to keep her role in the Shane Black-directed production under wraps, Dale is credited as “Mrs. Davis” on her Internet Movie Database profile. However, there's no word on how she fits into the film.
Beyond winning the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female for her role in the Academy Award-nominated film Winter Bone, Dale Dickey, 49, has starred in Super 8, The Pledge, and the True Blood series.
Described as a “technological crisis thriller,” set in the world of international war, arms & terror, Marvel Studios' “Iron Man 3” stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Andy Lau, Ashley Hamilton, James Badge Dale, with Sir Ben Kingsley and Jon Favreau. Shane Black (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”) takes over directorial duties from Jon Favreau, who helmed the first two “Iron Man” films. Principal photography will occur primarily in North Carolina and China. And “Iron Man 3” is set for release in May 3, 2013.
