More important was the actress's message for the night regarding the live event for women and children's rights.
"The message is we can't move forward, none of us could move forward, when half of us are held back," Chastain said at Chime for Change according to E Online. "We need health care, we need education, and we need justice for the women of this world."
Other stars linked to the possible role have been Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon, and Amanda Seyfried.
"They're all wonderful actresses. We're very fortunate that a lot of really great actors are interested in playing these roles. We're in an enviable position," director James Ponsoldt explained in a public statement on the rumored actresses.
