Anne Hathaway, the famous actress behind the role of Catwoman in The Dark Knight, revealed that she almost played the character of Black Cat in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4, but the production fell through.
Although among comic book movie fans, Hathaway is best known for her role as Selina Kyle or Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, she almost played another comic book character.
From Hathaway’s admission, before she ever got an offer to play Catwoman, she actually got an offer to play Black Cat. She was expected to play Felicia Hardy in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4, but unfortunately the film never materialized. Anne Hathaway revealed the fact in her interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“I didn’t get a chance to try on the costume and I didn’t read the script and then pass the audition… I got the role and, yeah, it’s just… I think it’s more for the producers to tell the story and not me to decide if it’s okay to reveal. Because the Spider-Man Universe has become so incredible and fun.””I didn’t get a chance to try on the costume and I didn’t read the script and then pass the audition… I got the role and, yeah, it’s just… I think it’s more for the producers to tell the story and not me to decide if it’s okay to reveal.
