The Catwoman/Selina Kyle Casting Thread - Part 2

[OutOfBoose]

I don't have anyone specific in mind, I just don't want the performance to be a cheap imitation of Pfeiffer.

Gemma>Kirby

Word was Gemma was up for Selina in The Dark Knight Rises. She is about the same age as Robert so I have no complaints if she was cast.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

There was no way in hell Anne was obvious for anything in that series. I definitely recall a lot of hesitancy and surprise for her casting, on these boards.

Hathaway was one of those fancast name that appeared for every role. Her and Emmy Rossum could play every role based on fans. Especially love interest.

 

[Boom]

My memory is hazy, but I don't recall Hathaway's name popping up around here for Catwoman.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I remember her more being a big fan cast for Lois Lane in Man or Steel (along with Tom Hardy as Lex) and having to cross her off that list after the Catwoman casting.

 

[C Prometheus]

Yeah, anyone claiming that Anne Hathaway was one of the fan-favorites for Catwoman back in the TDKR days is doing some revisionist history. That was a casting that took most fans by surprise when the news hit.

 

[Micromind]

I think people were supporting Rachel McAdams for the role.

Stephanie Corneliussen has the look more than anyone else that has been suggested, but I only saw her on Legends of Tomorrow and it was some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. I guess she is good in other stuff??

Mr. Robot and Legion

I don't think she was a fan favorite, but her name was floating around in early days.

I remember more than few loud ones who would constantly complain about her not being hot enough. Hell, one lame guy use to go on and on that his gf was hotter, till we asked for pics. He finally posted pics of his gf in a bikini and the bald bastah never came back. lol

 

[Invader Joker]

I wasn't there then... but were the guys saying Hathaway wasn't hot enough blind?

 

[Abudefduf]

Anne Hathaway.

Seven years later and I'm still mad Nolan wasted her so badly. With better material, she could've been the definitive live action Catwoman. But it wasn't meant to be, I guess

 

[Rorschach2012]

Anne did a great job. Pfeiffer is still way better though.

 

[Invader Joker]

Taylor Swift. Yes, I had to make a Cats joke.

 

[Boom]

Cheetah looks amazing.

 

[Mr. E Nygma]

Taylor Swift. Yes, I had to make a Cats joke.

My heart kinda skipped a beat at first glance when I thought it was Cheeta because it doesn't look intimidating at alll.

I'm starting to really like the idea of Inbar Lavi as Catwoman. I don't know a lot about her but she seems like a very... expressive actress, which makes me think she would do a good job at portraying Selina's playful side.

Hey where did you get that avvy? I want one of Cat Judi Dench.

I made it from a screenshot of the trailer. I couldn't resist, it's so ridiculous

The problem with actresses like her is that they don't have the proper hype and agent to get her on that casting lists. QT recently talked about how he gets the same 10 names of actors over and over from every studio.
