In April of last year, it was announced that actress Kate Mara was joining the cast of “Iron Man 2,” but details beyond that initial revelation were entirely up in the air. Speculation ran rampant that she’d play an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. alongside Samuel L. Jackson’s role of Nick Fury or perhaps even Bethany Cabe, a girlfriend and ally of Tony Stark’s in the comic books.

With the cat still in the bag regarding Mara’s role, MTV News couldn’t help but ask the actress about her specific involvement in the “Iron Man” sequel during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. According to the actress, rumors that she’ll play Bethany Cabe are entirely untrue.

“Not that I know of,” she replied when asked if she was playing Cabe. “I don’t know how that started. Maybe because Bethany Cabe has red hair in the comic books and they thought, well, I have red hair. I don’t know, but I don’t play her.”

In fact, it’s likely that Mara’s role isn’t much more than a simple cameo — after all, the actress is only in one scene of “Iron Man 2.”

“It’s a very small part,” she said. “I’m only in one scene, so I don’t know, I don’t want to tell you anything — go see it! Hopefully I’m still in it!”

Kate is currently in Sundance Film Festival, promoting “HappyThankYouMorePlease”.

The first true crowd pleaser debuted early during the first day of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and its the charming “happythankyoumoreplease.” And the standing ovation and frequent laughter during the dramedy pretty much gave it away. read more…

It’s going to be tough for How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor to avoid two comparisons in particular as he schleps around his directorial debut happythankyoumoreplease. First off, he’s following in the footsteps of Zach Braff, another man-child sitcom actor who had a successful launch of a debut film at Sundance. Secondly, he’s made a movie about twentysomethings fumbling for romance in New York City, which is a lot like the premise of HIMYM. But happythankyou has a different vibe than Garden State or Mother; it’s more like a late ‘80s/early ‘90s Woody Allen film, after Allen stopped keeping his comedy and his drama separate. read more…

Official Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who’s having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam’s life revolves around his friends—Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam’s eye.

Written, directed, and starring Josh Radnor (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), happythankyoumoreplease boasts a wryly funny script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast. With honesty and humor, Radnor captures a generational moment—young people on the cusp of truly growing up, struggling for connection, and hoping to define what it means to love and be loved.

Howdy! My name is Luciana and I’m taking over Kate Mara Fan. Lisa, my friend and previous owner wasn’t able to continue with the site and, as the only source dedicated to Kate Mara, it would be sad to let it outdated. Lisa did a great job and I hope to continue it, in the same high quality she did before.

To start I did a small update, still need to catch the gallery and see what’s being missed. But last September Kate attended a Maybelline event to launch the book “Who What Wear: Celebrity And Runway Style For Real Life”. Pictures were added to the gallery, and some photoshoots and scans. Enjoy.
