As Spider-Man 4 prepares to spin into production, we should expect a lot more casting rumors before we start hearing casting news. In the past week, we’ve already heard Rachel McAdams and Julia Stiles possibly being in the film. Fans are assuming that these women (or any attractive actress with a recognizable name and certain body type) will play the part of Spider-Man love-interest and anti-hero Black Cat. Now Anne Hathaway’s name has popped up in connection with the film. Hit the jump for more details and why so many popular actresses want to dye their hair white and put on black leather spandex.
Deadline reports that Anne Hathaway has been approached by producers to play a leading female role. However, she would not be replacing Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane (unfortunately). Please note that Finke did not say the role was Black Cat. That’s the assumption we’re making and also hoping for because Black Cat is a good character and we have yet to see her in this series.
When asked about these rumors, actresses will deny it and so will the studio and anyone else involved in Spider-Man 4‘s production. They’ll deny it because once you confirm the rumor, then you ruin the announcement. Granted, as more names are connected to the role (and in all likelihood there will be more names), the more strength the announcement has even though we’ve heard the name before. And actresses want this role. If they’re staying true to the Black Cat of the comics, then there’s an opportunity to be flirty, funny, sexy, AND kick some ass. Furthermore, they would be in a movie that’s 99% guaranteed to be a box office smash and that helps any actor.
We’ll keep on reporting these rumors because while they are just rumors, they all have a hint of truth and when a site like Deadline, which has been highly reliable in the past when it comes to Marvel movies, you know it’s not just a fanboy fabrication.

Hmmm, Not sure why theyre going with black-cat rumours at all?! She is just a rip-off of the superior Catwoman from the DC universe.
However, if Catwoman appears in Batman-3 AND we have Black-cat in Spidey-4, then as long as done right, I am prepared to see a lil Cat-fight.

Dredd, yer an idiot. Marvel FTW. Catwoman already had a movie, and Halle Berry fucked it up bad.
Black Cat is a sexy bitch, and I would love to pull THAT tail.
Anne already bleached her hair to play The White Queen in “Alice in Wonderland”. I don’t see her doing it again, but hey, this is Hollywood.

I like both cats! They have similarities, but also significant diferences. Black Cat has a relationship with Spider Man that´s very different from the Catwoman/Batman dynamic. although I would prefer to see Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.

Amen Dredd. Black Cat is NOTHING but a rip off of Catwoman and is one of the worst characters in the Marvel Universe. What, Gwen Stacy cameo wasn’t enough? I can’t believe anyone is even considering this, but I’ll bet it’s 100% true. Looks like Raimi and company are still bound and determined to sodomize the entire Spider Man franchise.
