Seeing as nobody has even officially confirmed that Black Cat, aka Felicia Hardy, will even be in Spider-man 4, it’s amazing how many actresses have been linked to the role in the last few days. In fact it’s getting a bit ridiculous now. Last week that it was said that Rachel McAdams and Romola Garai had been approached about appearing in Spidey 4, and this then got mashed up with (seemingly true) rumours that Black Cat would be the villain, and since then every actress of the right age in Hollywood has been linked to the role.
Yesterday’s rumoured villainess was Julia Stiles and today we can add Anne Hathaway to the list. However this rumour does seem to come from better sources than most, as it was announced on Nikki Finke’s website, which in the past has shown itself to have impressive sources inside the studios. While Finke only said that producers were interested in Hathaway for a ‘starring role’ in Spider-man 4, it’s presumed this will be Black Cat.
However, as it seems that at the moment any actress under 40 is in consideration and no decisions have been made over who will get this ‘starring role’, maybe we should start our own rumour right here! Umm, Katherine Heigl hasn’t been linked to the role yet, so shall we say producers after her too? We might as well, because at this rate it’s only a matter of time time until she’s linked to the role too.
Actually, what I really want to happen know is for it to turn out Black Cat isn’t in Spider-man 4 at all, and all these rumours have been for nothing.
