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

[JeanVitchier]

What are Black Cat's powers in the comics? How would she get her powers in the movie? A freak accident in a science lab?

 

[omid17]

no i don't believe she has any superpowers, she's just acrobatic and and strong figher from what i read

Is Black Cat a villain in the comics? If she is, then how could she fight Spidey with all his superhuman powers. She doesn't stand a chance, kinda lame.

She causes bad luck to all that cross her path.

This is from almost a day ago from the twitter of Movie Scoop, who recently scooped two of Thor's Warriors Three castings days before Variety

Twitter as a source???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meh

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[I_am_iron_man]

Valeria?

Mmmm.

Moviescoop in the past has launched the rumors (truth) of Ray Stevenson and Stuart Townsend in Thor. Now, some hours before Finke, launched the rumors of Hathaway in Spidey 4. In the role of Valeria. She's the Connors' wife?

sooooo we've got a fugly MJ and now were gonna get a flat chested Black Cat, urg someone needs to give Raimi his meds.

The only decent casting we've had for a girl is Gwen but they used her in an awful way so we won't be seeing her back again.

Not loving SM4 at all so far.

Elisha Cuthbert would be an ideal Black Cat but they won't look at her I guess.

You should be a film director. You clearly know it takes to cast a major motion picture. "Oscar nomination? BLEEECH. A variety of starring roles showing range and talent? Ehhhh... Some hot girl from Maxim? YES! CAST HER NOW."

I hate, hate, hate this fanboy casting. Can everyone please think with something other than their c**k? When people are earnestly considering the size of an actresses breast as a top priority for her ability to play Black Cat, we're looking at the bottom of the barrel.

If you think this is flat-chested:

...then you've been reading too many comic books and not looking at enough real-life women.

 

[Rodrigo90]

You want the horse as Black Cat,Ninja?

 

[craigdbfan]

Who says Diora can't act? In the small roles she has been in she has shown potential.

Why not give an unknown her big break. There also seems to be this preconceived notion that big breasted women automatically equal some mentally challenged bimbo.

Lets get serious here too. How great of an actress do we honestly need to play Black Cat right...

What I've seen from her she definitely has enough range to play this character.

 

[ThatDamnNinja]

It has nothing to do with one actress vs. the other. Frankly, I don't care for Black Cat as a character so I don't have a whole lot of emotional investment in who plays her.

What I have a problem with is the reasoning. I guarantee that the reason you, and most people, want Diora Baird has nothing to do with her acting ability. You weren't astounding by her performance in Wedding Crashers or Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginnning.

This is the equivalent of casting a wrestler as [insert villain here]. Maybe they can do it. Maybe they have natural ability that we don't see that would come out under real direction. But there's no reason to assume it's there, and the pick has nothing to do with their acting ability.

 

[craigdbfan]

I actually appreciated her performances in all the movies I've seen her in. She's not only an attractive woman but has potential in bigger roles that demand slightly more nuanced acting as well. Otherwise I wouldn't have written it in my previous post if I didn't honestly believe that.

Plus to use a recent story that a lot of movies nowadays rely less and less on familiar names and more on the concept and the way the movie is delivered.

Even writing about wanting this actress over superficialities seems hypocritical as any actress that will be picked has a certain amount of sex appeal on top of her acting.

Ok yes she has a big chest, but she doesn't look good blonde and she isn't sexy, she looks too nice.

Does Black Cat need to be a big named actress just for the sake of selling her name, not really, people know of Spider-Man enough to go see it with or without a well known actress in it.

There are other roles in the movie. Maybe some (or ALL) of these women are auditioning to be Curt Conners' wife?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Cause Connor is just that lucky and handsome to get hot women like them...

 

[venom892]

Dude some pretty women end up with ugly guys all the time.

 

[zeptron]

But aren't they a little young to be playing Baker's wife? These woman are in their late 20s/early thirties. Baker's is 50 now.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Yes but you probably wouldn't know anything about THAT.

Isn't Tobey a little old to be playing Spider-Man?

These are the movies, not the comics.

 

[zeptron]

Ehh Tobey's a little old to be playing Peter Parker as a young college student, but not Spider-man. Besides he doesn't look his age, so he can easily off as someone is his twenties.

It'll look weird having someone playing Baker's wife who's young and looks young enough to be his daughter. She should be played by someone who's at least in her 40s.

And it says this role will be a starring role.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Hey,hey. CaptainStacy. My looks are the cross between Tom Cruise and Christian Bale. My GF looks like Vannesa Hudgens,only a little more chubbier,lol.

I dont think Connors will be Lizard in this.

 

[Showtime]

Case in point.

It's like you can see into the future, dude. Weird. Oh I forgot we're all just jealous we're not whiny fanboys who dress up as Spider-Man in public and then claim to be an "insider" because you took a picture with Adam West or Bruce Campbell. I mean he's been right the whole time and all.

Too bad he can't come in here and gloat about his "accuracy."

I really can't even take up the time to read his long drawn out posts anymore. It hurts my eyes and my head. Spelling mistakes, run on sentences, it's like an english teacher's worst nightmare.

It's just sad, over here he just kept typing and typing, post after post in his big blue letters but nobody cared. Now if you go over there he just keeps posting but nobody is really paying attention.

In regards to Anne Hathaway, best candidate so far. Sign her up.

Valeria is also the name of the Vulture's daughter in comics
