This appears to be the latest rumor. This would be purrrr-fect if true.
It's been a while sine we've had any juicy comic book movie rumors. Mania.com has reported that based on "reliable sources," Rachel McAdams has met with producers for a "major role" in Spider-Man 4. They're saying that she's a top contender to play Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat. How reliable is this? It's hard to say. Mania hasn't been known to fabricate news stories for the sake of getting attention. Felicia Hardy/Black Cat would make purrrr-fect sense. We've seen the fan-made teaser posters for some time. Black Cat is a character I think most of us would love to see. It could add to the Peter Parker problems that he usually faces. Also, if it takes time away from Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, I know a few people that would be happy with that.
The question still remains who will be the main villain and how many will we have. Sam Raimi has said he understands that too many is a problem. We've heard the rumors that perhaps this will be the movie that will have Lizard as the main bad guy. While Black Cat started out as a sort of villain, she could always walk that fine line between hero and villain.
Until we get official confirmation, take this as you will. My fingers are crossed that we do see Felicia in the movie. Would McAdams do well as Black Cat? I'm not sure. You might recognize her from The Time Traveler's Wife, The Notebook and the upcoming Sherlock Holmes. I think she could maybe pull it off. What are your thoughts? Too good to be true?
