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

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

Woah. That could derail the whole Black Cat thing completely. If it's true that the character's name is Valeria and that Anne Hathaway auditioned for it, then it's very likely that all these other names that have been popping up have been auditioning for that and NOT Black Cat, which would be a very good thing. It would free the movie up to have two real villains, instead of 1½.

*fingers crossed for Vulture and Electro*

Anne Hathaway as Black Cat is like having Minnie Mouse as Lara Croft.

All wrong.

 

[Showtime]

Better than Stiles or McAdams. She can actually act.

 

[ThatDamnNinja]

Anne Hathaway as Black Cat is like having Minnie Mouse as Lara Croft.

All wrong.

Or like having Heath Ledger as the Joker. I mean, come on! What's he done? A gay cowboy and a bunch of generic pretty boy roles? He doesn't even have the right facial structure!

All wrong.

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.

It's funny as Hell. I pay attention for morbid curiosity. That and it's fun to egg on an idiot. In his mind, he's this huge scooper nailing stories left and right unnoticed by everyone. Anyone who rightfully calls him out on his crap automatically doesn't know what they're talking about and is a loser.

But dressing up as Spider-Man in public (in front of Adam West of all people) doesn't make him a loser? Strike that, he does it for "sick kids" who I'm sure think "I asked for Spider-Man. Not the Pillsbury Dough Boy!"

The more he mouths off, the funnier it gets. I say all power to him. I mean he keeps "proving us wrong" and all.

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

Again. Moviescoop reports that:

"Exclusive scoop: Anne Hathaway will play "Valeria" in the next SPIDER-MAN"

Moviescoop is the twitter account that revelead that Stevenson and Townsend are in Thor and that Hathaway has auditioned for Spidey 4 before Nikki Finke.

The only Valeria well-known in Spider-Man comics is Valeria Toomes, Vulture's daughter: link.

If this female role is for Valeria Toomes and not BC, good. I think of the suggested actresses so far, Hathaway is the most talented, so I'd be fine with her getting whatever the role is. Even if it is Black Cat.

For the people saying she doesn't have the cup size for the role or they are only going for her to get the big name, Raimi hasn't done that all series. He has cast people he felt were right for the role, and with the exception of Topher as Brock, he was right the first time. Dunst in the first movie was good for MJ. It was the sequels she began to go downhill, which is more of a statement on her work ethic than Raimi's casting. Raimi is going for talent in his casting, not the big name. Hathaway has talent. Plus, the great thing about boobs is, you can make them seem bigger. That is if cup size is really such a big deal for you.

 

[ultimatefan]

So far I´m not quite enthusiastic for the names being tossed around. I think BC demands a big time femme fatale type, like a younger Angelina Jolie.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Hathaway is in NO WAY ANYTHING like BC. I dont care about great acting. BC is a sexual dynamite,like Diora Baird. Hathaway has no sexy qualities. Sexy qualities are much more important than acting when it comes to BC.

 

[ultimatefan]

I´d say they should come half/half.

 

[I_am_iron_man]

I still thought that Hathaway will play Valeria Toomes. I don't find a pic of this char on the web, but i re-read now Spider-Man's comics. The character looks like Hathaway.

 

[Rodrigo90]

As long as she doesnt play Black Cat. Im OK with that.

 

[craigdbfan]

I´d say they should come half/half.

Truth.

 

[Nightmare]

I liked McAdams. Shes has the adorable look of the girl next door. More so then Kirsten. Thats for sure.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

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.

Young girls do pass of as wifes of older men sometimes though.

 

[HughJackFan420]

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

yeah they're called gold diggers

 

[omid17]

i just can't see a hot young wife be with old, one armed Connors

 

[zenith16]

I still think Scarlett johansson should have been black cat. oh well she's black widow now. I still think it was for the same reason Jessica Alba was made sue Richards, on why she's black widow now. It was to appeal to the older man in their mid life crisis age to have a younger woman thing. ahh holly wood and that old habbit of theirs. Old bad habbits.

lol that's what got Rob low in trouble in his early part of his carreer cause of that obsession.

But she is a good actress Scar jo. so she'll do fine as balck widow. But she should have been black cat. Imo. it was obvious. I like Hathaway though. Not really sure I see her as black cat though.

 

[I_am_iron_man]

With a ####job.

Well, better than ugly Kirsten's job.

 

[DACrowe]

I like Hathaway a lot in the casting. Dye her hair white and she's halfway there. She is not shaped like a porn star, so that may turn some fanboys off, but she is very attractive and can play very sexy when she wants to. And after seeing Rachel Getting Married, I'm convinced she's on the rise to be a great actress.

If there is going to be a BC she is the best choice we have heard so far. And given this is a report from Nikke Finke as opposed to random never-heard-of-you-before websites, it sounds like a possibility. I don't like Stiles for the role at all. McAdams would be good, but I don't think she is going to do it. My guess anyway is she will be dressed more like BC in her original appearances during the early-mid '80s and not the ridiculous shape and costume she has now.

With that said, I still want Lizard. Her being a thief who turns her eyes on taking down Lizard to prove herself or outdo Spidey could be interesting. Not as cool as Kraven, but I just want Lizard so badly.

I do know if this turns into the Superman IV (worst movie ever to turn to for inspiration) recycled plot I'm calling no dice unless the film gets outstanding reviews.

 

[craigdbfan]

Well, better than ugly Kirsten's job.

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

 

[DACrowe]

BTW those who say Hathaway can't be sexy. Go watch Havoc. Now. It really isn't that hard to play fatale unless you just lack the ability to be seductive and most Hollywood actresses, good or not, can do that quite well.

 

[HughJackFan420]

hathaway is ok i think McAdams is hotter but we all know that was just a rumor...bummer

 

[Spider-Fan]

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.

 

[HughJackFan420]

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

yeah it's just you....

that girl is so pale you can see her heart beat and no body either yuck no thanks
