The Catwoman/Selina Kyle Casting Thread - Part 1

[Ursa]

Keri Russell. Perfect.

 

[KillerWolf]

Telltale's "Batman" just reminded me how much I want to see Catwoman in DCEU.

By the way, fingerless gloves (well, partially) aside, they nailed the costume. I love the practical, utilitarian look it has:

Looks perfect for a thief, I would barely change anything for live action costume.

Keri Russell now that I think about it she is actually a unique choice for the role opposite Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman and I think that they would exude chemistry

Yeah, right?!

When I watch her in The Americans, I see Selina Kyle there.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Well apparently our boy Ben is a big fan of the Americans. I haven't watched it yet, but is she any good?

 

[KillerWolf]

Fits the age, worked with Affleck and absolutely rocks the short hair:

To quote Chaucer - "I'd buy that for a dollar".

 

[Rodrigo90]

Is that Rebecca Hall?

To quote Inspector Gadget - "Wowzers!"

 

[KillerWolf]

Yup, it is her. I'm loving her more recent look, with shorter hair.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think she suits it better like that, too

She's great! And she finally got an Emmy nomination.

Watch it

 

[Wildcard]

Now that I think about it, I'd still be up for Kate Beckinsale being in the role. Years ago before Hathaway was cast in TDKR she said she'd love to do it.

 

[Babillygunn]

Keri Russell. Perfect.

Yes!!

Hadn't thought of her but she's perfect. I used to want Hilary Swank just as a left field choice but I have abandoned that one.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Keri Russell is a great choice- I love it.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Not a fan of the Keri Russell choice at all. I haven't watched The Americans but I just can't see her being seductive and sultry enough to play Selina Kyle. I feel like all the issues people had with Anne Hathaway would be even more obvious with Russell.

 

[mclay18]

After hearing Anne Hathaway saying she wants to do a Catwoman spinoff, I wouldn't mind seeing her work with Ben Affleck. I personally think she'd have better chemistry with him than she did with Bale in TDKR.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I loved Hathaway as Catwoman. I'd be up for her return.

 

[mclay18]

I think if Affleck ever approached Hathaway to play a character other than Selina Kyle in his Batman movie, she would do it in a heartbeat. I would love to see her slip on that tight vinyl outfit again, but she has a sense of loyalty to Nolan for that specific character.

But if Affleck wrote Selina into the DCCU with Hathaway in mind, I could see her doing it if it was significantly different from Nolan's version.

 

[regwec]

Catwoman deserves so much better than Hathaway.

 

[Greens]

I loved Hathaway as Catwoman. I'd be up for her return.

No way that's happening.

 

[mclay18]

Catwoman deserves so much better than Hathaway.

I don't understand the hate some people have for Hathaway. If people didn't like her as Selina, fine, but she's a solid actress overall.

 

[MurkeNyou]

I don't understand the hate some people have for Hathaway. If people didn't like her as Selina, fine, but she's a solid actress overall.

The whole TDKR film just underwhelmed people, I wasn't a fan of her being cast as Catwoman, but she wasn't too bad.

In this role, I'd like to see Ben cast someone a bit older as Selina, and someone he's worked with before and had immediate chemistry with, like Charlize Theron, or Carla Gugino .

 

[Eddie Dean]

J-Lo, maybe?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Lol no thanks

 

[regwec]

I don't understand the hate some people have for Hathaway. If people didn't like her as Selina, fine, but she's a solid actress overall.

I don't hate her- I think she is a reasonable actress, but was badly miscast as Selina Kyle.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Well then, she'd fit right in with the actor currently miscast as Batman.
