The Catwoman/Selina Kyle Casting Thread - Part 2

[Iceman]

Good shout on Nathalie Emmanuel. She's just lovely.

She could be a great Catwoman. I’d have no doubts about that.

 

[David H.]

I don’t think so.

 

[Sawyer]

Gugu.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Gugu.

I think it's pretty likely that she'll get a shot at it. She was on the shortlist for Black Canary, and WB has a tendency to look back at past shortlists for new roles. (Bale, Reynolds, Cavill)

 

[Invader Joker]

I was just looking at the previous posts and to be honest I'm amazed at Sarah Shahi being brought up as she's basically the personification of Talia.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I like Sarah Shahi but she's an average actor at best.

 

[Invader Joker]

I like Sarah Shahi but she's an average actor at best.

Yeah but if she's gonna be fancasted as a DC character literally the only character that makes sense for her is Talia

 

[BatZack]

Never seen her act, heard she was good on Skins on a damaged sexual girl type of role, so I'm throwing her in here based on the fact I have a big crush on her looks alone and she's the right age and she's unknown but (and you know Reeves will probably prefer an unknown and rising for Catwoman)t: Kaya Scodelario.

Maybe it's just me, but she gives off more of a Poison Ivy vibe than Catwoman.

Eh, I'd prefer a better actress who can portray the duality of that character. Let her be Zatanna or someone that doesn't require much depth. Well, to be fair, maybe Zatanna is multifaceted too but I honestly haven't read much with her in it.

Eiza Gonzalez

I say it based on her features. I really can't picture her as anybody else.

Gemma Arteron for Catwoman

 

[Tg11]

I actually like Vikander more

WB will likely be looking at bigger names for the part (that's always been the way). As such, Vikander's the only one from this list who stands a chance at being cast.

 

[Sawyer]

Gugu.

 

[Tg11]

Another shortlist consisting of:

Sofia Boutella
Yuliya Singir
Tanit Phoenix
Sarah Greene
Jessica De Gouw
Alexandra Daddario
Paula Patton
Alexa Davalos
Olivia Wilde
Rebecca Ferguson
Morena Baccarin

Out of this list the biggest names off of name recognition that the DCEU would go after for this role: Boutella, Daddario, Patton, Wilde, Ferguson and Baccarin

 

[David H.]

 

[Tg11]

If Anne Hathaway didn't play the character before in the Nolanverse she would have been perfect

 

[Rorschach2012]

Dakota Johnson is a good call, I could see her being considered.

 

[Kane52630]

I had Alexa Davalos as one of my early fancast for Wonder Woman, but she could be Selina.

 

[pixen]

I'm all for Rebecca Ferguson or Gugu Mbatha-Raw for Selina.

 

[Boom]

Gugu is the right choice.

 

[batdude]

Well, I think if Affleck cane back, or somebody of similar age, you could bring Hathaway back. now if you cast Batman younger, I'd give Nina Dobrev a shot.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

I had Alexa Davalos as one of my early fancast for Wonder Woman, but she could be Selina.

As much as I love this woman, I suspect that Reeves will be looking to cast someone a few years younger. Otherwise, she'd be great.
