The Amazing Spider-Man Official Black Cat Casting & DIscussion Thread

[craigdbfan]

The vision people have for sexy seems to be related to cup size. The fact that people want to turn down a quality actress due to such a superficial reason is quite scary, and shows why we don't make these films.

Never liked her acting style (not saying she is bad I just find her a bit annoying) and her face doesn't click with me. Just like some people here have a dislike for Kirsten Dunst some people have the same dislike for Stiles, Hathaway, etc.

Although I did enjoy "The Devil Wears Prada".

Kirsten is not ugly. Maybe its just me but I find Dunst incredibly attractive.

Me too. In "How to lose friends and alienate people" is so sexy!

I love her from "Virgin Suicides"

WAnt to see a great actress? Watch Rachel Getting Married and you'll see three of 'em, but a tour de force in the lead.

Want to see that actress be sexy? See Havoc.

I imagine most people who criticize her see her only as Ella Enchanted and as the Princess Diaries girl.

Hathaway has more talent than either Stiles or Dunst, and I don't see a problem with her in the role. She has shown a variety of skills already in her acting resume, and I think she would be great in the role.

I am not saying you, but people are showing a dislike of her not based on anything other than looks, and this is pretty stupid to me. It seems like people say you need double D's and be rediculously hot to be Black Cat, and they ignore the keyest thing in casting a part for a film...talent. It doesn't shocks me, but I have to comment on it anyway.

This, and she doesn't have the "body" for Black Cat

Doesn't make sense to me either.

 

[zeptron]

People should be more concerned with whether or not they can lend a decent performance to the movie. A great actress is all that is needed.

 

[HughJackFan420]

Black Cat should have a body of a pornstar but anyone that has something close to that is Monica Bellucci despite her accent and her age maybe a few years back she would've been a good choice. but man does she have Black Cat cleavage or what?

 

[zenith16]

I want some one that can act damn it. They can look hot as well, but their acting skills should be primary and looks come after to finish up and round up what's needed for the role. Halfaway is a good actress. I may not see her as Black cat.

But you never you she might pull this off and surprise ya. Even though I'm sure what I said up top in my first post here makes more sense. movie wise.

BTW I'm a attracted to Halfaway and she can look hot and act seductive if the role demands it.

 

[I_am_iron_man]

Me too. In "How to lose friends and alienate people" is so sexy!

Oh, in that movie Megan Fox's sexy!

Yeah, she have Black Cat cleavage but she can't act. Seriously.

Anne Hathaway's rep addresses 'Spider-Man 4' reports
by Adam Markovitz
Categories: Film, Movie Biz, Movies, News

Responding to a Deadline Hollywood report that Anne Hathaway is in talks for the role of the superheroine Black Cat in Spider-Man 4, the star’s publicist tells EW that “there are no negotiations underway.” However, he declined to comment on whether or not the actress had met with the film’s producers.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Bruce "king of the cameos" Campball as Mysterio. Anne Hathaway as Black Cat.

Does anybody actually look at the characters from the comics? Mysterio should be a proper villain,not Bruce in cameo. Black Cat should be a big boobed temptress. Hathaway...Im sick of hearing about her. Since when did Cat become a cutsie big teeth oscar worthy actresses?

These characters deserve respect and to stay true to what they are in the comics.

Whoever came up with the stupid notion that Bruce should play Mysterio...I will find you.

 

[DACrowe]

Yes, because Black Cat just needs big boobs to be done justice.

BTW I hope Mysterio is not in this movie. Terrible villain, really. Nobody would get beyond the fish bowel at all, really.

 

[DACrowe]

Those who are so out of shape about how she should appear. Go back and remember when she was drawn like an actual woman:

If you can read any of those issues do, they're all quite good, here is the first one online from Marvel:

https://subscriptions.marvel.com/digitalcomics/view.htm?iid=1369

Go ahead and flip few these few issues to get a good idea of how she was originally drawn and written. While still sexy, she was not originally the image of sex she has become with current artist renderings.

Fans are just going to be disappointed because no woman naturally looks like BC and if she has altered herself to look like that, she probably isn't acting...in Hollywood anyway.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I see a lot of Diora Baird...But I dont see Anne or her massive smile,lol.

 

[Sebastos]

Diora won't happen. It's called wishful thinking.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

People should be more concerned with whether or not they can lend a decent performance to the movie. A great actress is all that is needed.

Agreed. Looks aren't everything when it comes to acting, though, it's important for Black Cat.

 

[craigdbfan]

Diora won't happen. It's called wishful thinking.

Exactly.

Its more of a dream pick.

I still don't understand how some write "actual" women. So big bust are suddenly this disgusting oddity?

I'm sure the reason why big breast are coming up in this case is because the character has big boobs. By the way she also had big boobs back in the older comic days (second cover posted).

There also seems to be a double standard floating around. I remember when the majority of fans complained about Topher Grace not having the same body as Eddie Brock nobody really brought up the "well he's a good actor so leave him alone" argument. Everyone was almost in complete agreement before and after that he was miscast.

Now its all of a sudden become "stupid" to even mention an actress that would be proportionate to her comic book counterpart. Thats ridiculous.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Completely disagree, but it doesn't look like Mysterio will be in it anyway. Mysterio I think would play to a lot of Raimi's strengths as a filmmaker, and would offer many plusses to the film if he were used.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Exactly.

Different cases. Grace is not a great actor IMO. Also, the character isn't being altered if her cup size is not enormous. She can still be sexy and seductive without giant boobs. In the case of Topher, the concept of who Venom was got changed. Instead of comic Brock, we got evil Peter. Since the character of Brock got heavily altered in the transition, the complaints by Venom fans (which I am not) was more warranted. It's not just that Brock is huge in the comics and he wasn't in the film. The fact that Topher got the role told people this would not resemble traditional comic Venom in character or appearance. This turned out to be true on both accounts. Hathaway can still play a character that resembles Black Cat. The giant boobs are not a deal breaker or cause for concern in this case.

As a fan of Spider-Man, I'd be more nervous about the fact that both rumors of her being Valeria Toomes and Black Cat could be true, which would change who Black Cat is completely. Not that I am a Black Cat fan or anything, but a change that drastic would be more alarming to me than the superficial complaint.

 

[craigdbfan]

At this point I honestly hope BC is not even in this movie. I'm just pitching in my thoughts in the casting because its always fun.

But she's one character that isn't needed especially after SM3. We need a character that will add one last shining moment to the Raimi series. Black Cat just doesn't seem like the character that will do that. All I see coming out of this are more unnecessary love arcs which have become tiring.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I completely agree with you Black Cat adds nothing the series needs. I'm just saying if we're going to have Black Cat, not casting someone with huge boobs doesn't change the dynamic of the character. I hope she is not in the movie at all, personally.

[UnionJack]

i still the Elisha Cuthbert is a good bet.

We don't really need an amazing actress for Black Cat.

 

[mre]

Looks aren't everything when it comes to acting...

Then how do you explain Megan Fox?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yes. Elisha Cuthbert. Much better.

 

[DACrowe]

Exactly.

ha, actually I was ambivalent about the casting of Grace, as Brock was always a weak character and I was open to a new interpretation. I also thought Grace was very good in In Good Company and is a bit underrated or typecast. With that said his Brock was an incredibly weak character in the final product, but that seems more due to a screenplay problem than anything.

With that said is this Diora girl dream casting, really? I looked her up because I had never heard of her before and yeah her images on Google, for the Maxims and FHMs of the world are incredibly hot. But then I checked wikipedia and the only movies she seemed to have roles in that were of...renoun?....were TCM:TB where she played the ****ty blonde who gets killed and apparently she was one of the topless girls in Wedding Crashers.

I suppose I'm saying, "Can she act?" Nothing in her resumé says strong actress. But because she is blonde and has big boobs, she is dream casting? Now I hated GI Joe for the record, but many were pissed that Sienna Miller was cast as Baroness for the same reasons you're complaining about McAdams or Hathaway. But now even people who hated the movie seem to have loved Miller in that role. It isn't that hard to rework someone's image who is attractive into being a seductress when you have hundreds of millions to blow on constuming, if you know what I mean.
