And the list of women who may or may not appear in Spider-Man 4 continues to grow. Now Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood reports through her sources (who, when it comes to Marvel, seem to be pretty reliable) that producers have "approached" Anne Hathaway regarding a starring role in Spider-Man 4. It doesn't say she's been offered the role, or that she's in negotiations to take on the role, only that she's been approached.
Finke also wasn't sure which role it would be, though all signs point to it being that of Black Cat -- who, in the past couple weeks -- has seen everyone from Julia Stiles to Rachel McAdams vying for a piece of that pus ... Spidey pie. Hathaway definitely showed off her acrobatic side in last summer's Get Smart, and certainly has enough of that hottie-yet-down-to-earth sex appeal to draw Mr. Parker into a web of problematic romantic entanglements. Personally, I still like Stiles for the role, but that's me. The studio, however, probably figures they'll get more butts in the seats with Hathaway. So we'll see. Regardless, we're getting close to an official announcement. Who do you want?
Spider-Man 4 hits theaters on May 6, 2011.









1. Well growing up as a fan of the Spiderman animated series in the 90's, I liked the Black cat's charm and if that same type of character role is to be in the movie I would say that Rachel McAdams would be a good pick but more so as the Felicia Hardy aspect side that flirts with Peter Parker. But since that was just rumors I wouldn't mind Julia Stiles as the role but definitely not Anne Hathaway, though I do like Anne she just doesn't fit the role in my eyes.
Also I saw in some of the other comments for previous news on the Black Cat, a few of the commentors kind of got the idea that Black Cat is no different from Cat woman, but there definitely is a difference between the 2, to sum it up I would say Cat woman is more a villain and Black Cat is an Ally to spiderman with the occasional going against him solely for her personal issues (pertaining to her relationship with Morpheus and issues with her Father).
But hopefully the director makes a good pick.
