The Catwoman/Selina Kyle Casting Thread - Part 2

[THE WOLF]

BN's Journal, 14th Aug , 2019.

DCNIght didn't know who Gugu Mbatha Raw was. Invader Joker still posting candidates who look like teens. In this cluster of pics and MCU recyclables, we ponder the catwoman, she who may stand next to the bat, in hope vanilla Reeves doesn't go the safe route. Tired tread on burst stomach. Reeves is afraid of us. I have seen his true bald face. Social media reactions are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the outrage will drown. I wake up from a cold nightmare, I see Emilia Clarke with Cat ears, I see her next to Batman. I hurry to the hype to read the outraged reactions, and in that moment...I feel fear for the last time.

James Corden for The Penguin!

Cursed post

I don’t think Emilia Clarke a bad choice for Selina tbh, she has a fun/playful vibe about her that could work well for the character.

 

[DOBSON10]

Emilia Clarke is a very bad actress. Pass.

 

[Abudefduf]

Ahem.

Emilia Clarke as Catwoman > Vanessa Kirby as Catwoman.

*Runs away*

 

[Boom]

I'm with Dobson on this. Clarke is not great.

 

[Closerframe]

Clarke's acting was one of the hardest things to watch in GoT. Give it to Kirby or someone who won't get completely outmatched by Pattinson.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I like Clarke but she's not great at playing dark and edgy. She was laughable as Sarah Connor and "evil" Dany. She's much better as bubbly, quirky characters. So a hard pass on her as Selina.

I will say that she was good in Solo and her character was a badass, but it wasn't particularly a "dark" character (though she would have probably gone that way if a sequel had happened).

 

[Lasirius]

Yeah, no.

 

[thebatfan5194]

Not my first, second, or third choice for sure, just saying I wouldn't be outraged if she was cast.

 

[Iceman]

I like Clarke but I can’t quite take her seriously in certain roles. In GoT she was good in bursts throughout, but the rest of the time I didn’t find her convincing enough.

 

[Black Narcissus]

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yes.

In that dress.

 

[ileg01]

Gemma Arterton would be great. But I think they will cast a relative unknown actress like they did with the BoP casting.

 

[Sawyer]

If I might throw a lesser known name out there...



Jade Tailor (The Magicians) has that Tim Sale Selina look.

[Invader Joker]

Waaaay too old.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Zendaya is no longer in the MCU

 

[Sawyer]

Waaaay too old.

Not old enough.

If you've invented time travel... Carrie-Anne Moss circa 1999. Sure. Why not.

 

[Kane52630]

If I might throw a lesser known name out there....

My complete unknown would be Caroline Ford.

 

[Asr]

If you've invented time travel... Carrie-Anne Moss circa 1999. Sure. Why not.

If we're retro-casting I'd also submit Courteney Cox (circa 1999 as well) or Morena Baccarin (even if just 10 years ago).

 

[Invader Joker]

Retrocasting I'd submit Sharon Stone from her Casino days
