The Catwoman/Selina Kyle Casting Thread - Part 1

[David H.]

When was the last time Sossamon was anything interesting?

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

She's been great in a lot of things. She isn't rather well known or at the height of her career but she definitely has the Selina Kyle vibe..

 

[Tg11]

Carla Gugino also has that Selina Kyle/Catwoman vibe too

 

[Mandon Knight]

Rachel Weisz

Been saying it since TDKR casting times, and would be even better fit for Affleck.

 

[Tg11]

Rachel Weisz as Catwoman does have its appeal and not to mention her and Affleck are close in age so it works and not to mention she can act but also she has a sultry seductive charm about her as well that can play into the character of Selina Kyle/Catwoman and she can be physically imposing especially if you have seen her in movies like The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, etc

How about Sarah Shahi (from Person of Interest)? For whatever reason ever since she appeared in POI I always thought she'd be a great Catwoman. She might not be a household name like Eva Green or Gemma Arterton, but I think she'll fit DCEU right in, she'll look just fine with Batfleck or Margot/Harley, she has her experience in action and a fine actress in general.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Just going based on looks she could be selina or Tahlia really.

 

[David H.]

Huh, I've seen her name come up for Huntress and Question (Montoya) but never made the connection to suggest her for Selina.

Could be good.

To be fair, I don't know that Arterton is a "household name". Green more so but that may also be a stretch.

Maybe this house, at least.

 

[Wildcard]

I don't think it matters if you get a household name for the character. They certainly will be after the fact.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I wouldn't mind to see Grace Gealey as the Cat

 

[Wildcard]

Hmmm, never even thought about her 'til now but solid choice. I like it.

 

[David H.]

Wow, she... uh... certainly has the look down.

Although she voiced her in the Lego Batman Movie, Zoe Kravitz could also make a great Selina in the film universe too. Just look at at her Instagram with her blond hair. Removed link as the shirt was slightly thin and wasn't sure if I'd get flagged for it.

 

[David H.]

Heh, probably too young for this Catwoman but I could totally see Kravitz as Raven.

Spoiler

She's 28 so she could be a good younger Selina Kyle to fit in with Robie's young Harley.

She's 28 so she could be a good younger Selina Kyle to fit in with Robie's young Harley.

I'd rather Selina be closer to Bruce's age than Harley's. The latter should be the youngest of the group next to Ivy and then have Selina as the "senior" member.

> also, crap, I always forget Robbie is 26. Not sure why I think she's older.

 

[ohiostate124]

She should be closer to Bruce's age. I really don't want to get timm's Bruce/babs vibes from Bruce and Selina.

 

[metaphysician]

I could get beyond Shahi. She even is age appropriate.

Admittedly, I'd keep wondering when she's going to go "terrifying sociopath" on someone's ass, or when the cute robotic love interest would should up. . . *ahem*

 

[Wildcard]

I second that. That picture definitely gives off a Raven-esque vibe.

Shannyn Sossamon was suggested earlier for Selina and I think she'd be a fine choice as well.

 

[David H.]

She could probably be Huntress too. I tend to think she's a better actress than she's been allowed to be.

Strangely she was rejected for Selina's side-kick in Dark Knight Rises because they weren't going "urban" with the character.

 

[KillerWolf]

Or at least that's what she says. In any case, Kravitz annoys the hell out of me, so I'd keep her out of these films.

 

[Charlatan]

Mackenzie Davis would be an interesting choice.

She's so short. Ben would tower over her.

 

[David H.]

Mackenzie Davis would be an interesting choice.

Could'a been a great Harley too!

 

[KillerWolf]

Too young, ain't she?
