A month back Rachel McAdams had been "unofficially" confirmed to be cast as the female lead. News broke that she was frontrunner for the role after months of speculation and rumors involving the likes of the aforementioned Jessica Chastain and Elizabeth Moss. Actresses that were actually considered for the part apparently included Jessica Biel and Malin Akerman. Again it must be stressed that her casting hasn't officially been announced by HBO like Farrell's or Vaughn's, so things could change. But if the news is true, what character will she be playing?
