Yeah, I wouldn't complain if we got Kirby but I think we can go a bit more unconventional or exciting.
Your only actress that I like.Lettuce stop recycling and go with a fresh pick.

One of the few non-generic names thrown here. Some fans like Thomas Polito did not learn anything from RP's casting. Start thinking outside the box.
I don't know what drug people are on thinking Vanessa is bland after watching MI6
That was sexy and charismatic af and I didn't even know who she was before the movie
also her getting complaint about her skin color is just sad
Agreed. There's some genuinely interesting small acting choices she makes in her scenes in Fallout that I found really elevated her portrayal from the average femme fatale.
On the one hand, I appreciate seeing fans actively wanting to see more diversity and representation on the big screen for once. On the other hand, I find it frustrating that so many people keep acting like Selina is decisively Cuban in all of her depictions, when comics have been bouncing back and forth on her ethnicity and origins for the past twenty-plus years.
Heck, I found out that she was briefly teased to be part Russian at one small point in the New 52 run and then nothing was done with that!![]()
Two names are not like the others and having seen Matt Reeves films and according to what you've described yes they all don't make sense at all. We have to agree to disagree here.It's not about generic picks IMO or even necessarily "thinking outside the box"- at least in regards to how we generally toss around names in this thread.
Reeves has a knack of casting character actors for his films, preferring to go for individuals that bring a certain level of nuance to their performances to help better embody the characters onscreen and the dynamics bouncing between the cast. Robert Pattinson is a perfect example of that and was a favorite for a number of us here for months because of that, even if some of us- including myself- didn't think he had a chance due to the repeatedly toted age range.
So names like Vanessa Kirby, Dakota Johnson, Lily James, Sonoya Mizuno and Ana de Armas? They all make sense as candidates that Reeves (and the studio) would be interested in seeing audition for the part. They might land the part, they might not, because I think a big part of the final decision will come down to chemistry with Pattinson.
I mean, Sonoya still has a pretty good chance. She's on the age range, she's honestly hotter and more athletic than Kirby, she's a great actress, she's got connections to Reeves. I wouldn't rule her out just yet.

Not sure if I want an asian Catwoman, and I'm an asian myself lol. I've never wanted to see asian actors/actresses play these characters. My top picks are currently Vanessa Kirby, Ana de Armas, Dakota Johnson and Aubrey Plaza.
It's hard to explain. She gives me the impression that she would play a very basic Selina.Kirby does seem like a kind of dull choice. Not that she'd be bad, it's just really safe and underwhelming after they went with Pattinson.
