The Batman
WithCatwomanrumored to be making an appearance inRobert Pattinson ’s upcoming Batman movie , we take a look at who could play Selina Kyle . With the formerTwilightstar now confirmed as DC ’s Modern Bruce Wayne , speculation as been rife as to which of Gotham City ’s finest villain Batman will face off against in the upcoming movie . DirectorMatt Reeveshas been tease fan online with possible adversaries forThe Batman , including the DC universe ’s most iconic cat burglar .
Selina Kyle ’s evolution throughout the comics has proven to be one of the Batman canyon ’s most intriguing narratives , and it ’s one that ’s been just as absorbing to follow on the big and small-scale filmdom : From Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt in the 1960s Adam West series , toMichelle Pfeiffer ’s gothic prickteaser inBatman Returns , to the cringe - get inner circle of Halle Berry ’s solo movie , and Anne Hathaway ’s sinfully underrated conflicted criminal inThe Dark Knight Rises . It ’s no admiration fans are hoping to see her return in a new Batman pic , especially following late developing in the cartoon strip , where Bruce and Selina at long last tied the knot .
Pattinson ’s Batman will reportedly face off against a veritable rogues drift of villains , blood-related to comics likeThe Long Halloweenand in keeping with Reeves ’ desire to make a noir - elan account . The options are for sure plentiful , and the role ofCatwomanwill undoubtedly be much sought after in Hollywood - but who to cast ? The novel Selina will probably need to be in line with Pattinson ’s eld , meaning someone in their late 20s to other 30s , and they ’ll require both the necessary physicality of an acrobatic cat burglar and the sardonic but vampish allure that clear Selina so appealing . With that in mind , we have a few casting suggestions for the new Catwoman .
Ruth Negga
Irish actress Ruth Negga has expend the past ten of so building up a repute as one of the most underrated actresses crop . Ruth Negga may be conversant to viewers from any number of shows and movies , including the with child - budget adaptation ofWarcraft , the British dramaMisfits , and Marvel’sAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.After put down an Oscar nomination for her restfully annihilative work in the diachronic dramaLoving , Negga made a complete 180 spell and take on the part of Tulip O’Hare in AMC ’s adjustment ofPreacher , where she steal almost every scene from her every bit impressive cobalt - star . It ’s her work as Tulip that get her more than ready for Catwoman . She can bring the commiseration while still beating the bread and butter daylights out of a baddie with a fuck smirk on her human face .
Zoë Kravitz
It seems reasonably surprising that Zoë Kravitz has not been snap up by another major superhero dealership since her small part as Angel Salvadore / Tempest in 2011’sX - Men : First Class(unless you count a small voice function inSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse ) . She ’s been a quietly alluring scene - thief in many a flick , fromMad Max : Fury Roadto theFantastic Beastsmovie , but is so often denied a truly meaty role deserving of her skills . Kravitz is able to be both warm and abrasive in a manner that feels so very Selina .
Jodie Comer
British actress Jodie Comerexploded into the mainstream through her BAFTA - winning workplace as psychopathic assassinator Villanelle on BBC America’sKilling Eve . Her astoundingly magnetic performance as a cold - hearted sea wolf who becomes obsess with the MI6 factor hired to pursue her has won her plenty of fans . Comer is at her best when she racket in the equivocalness and unnerving charm of Villanelle , a charwoman who can be both hyper - intelligent and scratchy like a toddler . It ’d a truly chameleonic tour , and it ’s not hard to see why she would be such a beneficial Catwoman . Comer would bask the chance to fiddle with Pattinson ’s Bruce in the way she play bozo and computer mouse with Eve Polastri .
Sofia Boutella
After getting her offset as a dancer ( see if you could find her in the video for the Madonna birdsong “ blue ” ) , the French - Algerian actress Sofia Boutella broke out in Hollywood with tantrum - steal work inKingsman : The Secret ServiceandStar Trek Beyond . The much - hyped Dark Universe launching was in part build around her eponymic role in 2017’sThe Mummy , but that went nowhere . It ’s a disgrace that Boutella ’s telling physicality has n’t been full use by Hollywood ( although the ever dissentious Gallic director Gaspar Noé did let her glow in his typically mind - melting way withClimax ) . In many way , she ’s perfect for Selina , no training required .
Vanessa Kirby
According to late rumors floating around the internet , Warner Bros. is piercing onThe CrownandMission : insufferable – Falloutstar Vanessa Kirby ’s chance as Selina . While nothing has been remotely support about this gabfest , it ’s also easygoing to see why such a story would take root word and have so many fans fascinate by the possibility . Kirby certainly has the dramatic chops to do the role justice , as evidenced by her Emmy - nominated piece of work as Princess Margaret in Netflix’sThe Crown , plus countless acclaimed performances on the West ending . late , she ’s find an interesting ecological niche as the vamp of crowing action movies , a woman not to be underestimated , which feel very in line with Catwoman . She ’ll next be seen inHobbs & Shawso whatever the case , the future is bright for her , but will it contain a trip to Gotham ?
Rebecca Ferguson
In the aftermath of her wonderful employment in theMission : Impossibleseries , the idea of casting Swedish actressRebecca Fergusonas Selina almost feels too obvious . Who could say no to her steely bound , her obviously good physicality , and her ability to keep up with the biggest picture - asterisk on the satellite ? But just because she ’s too obvious a choice , that does n’t have in mind she is n’t also the utter casting . The good scenes of Bruce and Selina in the comics come with that physical and genial back - and - forth , that chemistry that melds lustfulness with aggressiveness . If Rebecca Ferguson can make that work with Tom Cruise , she can make it work with anyone .
Olivia Wilde
She may have made the successful start to directing with her critically adored debutBooksmart , but that should n’t drop Olivia Wilde ’s magic spell and warmness as an actress . Easily the best thing in the middlingTron : Legacy , a function that let her show off her action leading dame chops , Wilde has been a welcome presence in many a film and TV series . She can have chemistry with seemingly anybody and bring a knowing comedic edge to some of Selina ’s more camp aspects . She has n’t given up do in favor of the director ’s electric chair so this is a cast option we hope is still on the table .
Claire Foy
Vanessa Kirby ’s co - star inThe Crownhas already had an chance to show off her lead action woman muscle , after taking on the much - hyped role of Lisbeth Salander in Sony ’s under - perform thrillerThe Girl in the Spider ’s World Wide Web . While that motion picture did n’t exactly inspire the same level of critical acclaim David Fincher ’s take on the series did , Claire Foymore than prove herself capable of shedding her well - refine image in favour of something more approximative and fall . Foy ’s work as a dramatic actress is well documented – fromThe CrowntoFirst MantoUnsane – and that would serve her well if she were to play Selina . She could easily hold her own against Pattinson !
