Actress Jessica Chastain has dismissed reports that she is in the running to play former secretary of state Hillary Clinton in a new biopic.
Reese Witherspoon, Amanda Seyfried, Scarlett Johansson and two-time Oscar-nominee Chastain have reportedly been shortlisted for the role by film bosses, who are planning a story of Hillary's formative years as a young lawyer.
