I've decided that we haven't done nearly enough hottie editions of Cast This yet (Betty and Veronica being our only ladies so far), so I think it’s time for another one, even if we’re only casting a rumor.

This week we heard from a little bird that Sam Raimi is supposedly considering going with Black Cat as one of the major players in the next SPIDER-MAN film. I can see this being true, as she’s not as over the top as some of the other villains he could use, and her Catwoman/Batman vibe with Spidey has always made for a good time in the comics. She’s sleek, she’s sexy, she’s the BLACK CAT.

I’m not going to pretend that we haven’t heard that Rachel McAdams is currently the frontrunner for the part, but I want to hear from you guys. Do you think she’d fill the catsuit well enough, or would you prefer to see a different actress don the white hair?

Felicia Hardy has a pretty rough back story in the comics, so whoever gets chosen should be able to act as well as simply squeeze their boobs into zippered leather. However, I can’t really see Raimi going with the whole date-rape-jail-break-mental-hospital plotline found in the comics, so she should make sure the character a bit fun as well, in keeping with the vibe of the first three films.

Last Week: KHAAAAAAAN

A week ago we took a look at who you thought we be best fit to fill out the open shirt of Khan in the next STAR TREK movie, if and when Abrams decides to make him the villain. The results were as follows:

1. Nestor Carbonell (14%) 2. Javier Barem (12%) 3. Antonio Banderas (9%)

You guys sure love your Lost alumni, first Kevin Durand as Lobo, now Nestor Carbonell as Khan? I think he definitely could look the part, but as of yet, I haven’t seen him give the sort of commanding performance Khan would need to give in the film.

I think Bardem and Banderas are great choices (where the hell has Banderas been recently?) and either would be pretty badass as Khan. I’m also all for the idea of casting a male lead from Bollywood, as Khan is actually supposed to be Indian, and it could be a great breakout vehicle for one of those actors to cross over into mainstream Hollywood. We don’t exactly have too many leading Indian men over here in the States. Aziz Ansari and Mohinder from "Heroes" do not count.

Alright, let’s hear those Black Cat suggestions. This is one photo montage I’m going to enjoy putting together next week.

Extra Tidbit: I'm all for Black Cat in the next Spidey flick, but I say keep Catwoman out of Batman. Or should I say keep Batman out of Catwoman? Hey-oh!

Yeah, that Gossip girl chick. I mean the giant rack is something to be desired, but did you see her in GQ if here hair was Bleached and she had a Black Mask on, I'd be a OK with that being the Black Cat costume, and it fits her DAMN well. Now I should probably look at her acting... XD

I think Rene Zellweger would be a great Black Cat. She oozes sexuality and danger and has sheer animal magnatism.

While I'm all for fanboy(girl?) love, the reality is that actresses like Eliza Dushku and Summer Glau will never be cast as the Black Cat.

I bet Raimi will go with someone with a-list credits and who shows some talent so my vote goes for:
Emily Blunt
Evan Rachel Wood
hell.. even Amanda Seyfried

don't know about her acting skills, but...
i'll say Summer Glau. She looks good as a blonde and she can definitely do the action sequences. Amber Heard wouldn't be bad either. McAdams still has the best acting chops of the group... so far.

Too bad Olivia Wilde looks horrible as a blonde. I could dig her in the role with those cat eyes.

Kristin Bell would be my top pick for this.
Before her career took a nose dive, Lindsay Lohan might have been a good idea. Actually, given Black Cat's troubled past...nah, it wouldn't work.

Cast This: Black Cat
If it turns out that the Rachel McAdams rumours aren't true, but Black Cat is being considered - then Tricia Helfer would make a good Felicia. The black leather would look fine on either of them though.

This is a tough one.
I love Summer Glau as an actress, but she doesn't have the body to be Cat. Rachel Nichols has the body, but she doesn't have the party girl vibe that Felicia is classically known for. Amber Heard is the best I can think of, but she's still not perfect.

I agree, but she never should have been Mary Jane. MJ is supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous, funny, quick-witted, and she has a bit of a wild side. Kirsten Dunst doesn't bring any of those qualities to the role, and I'd hate for a really interesting character like Cat to be ruined that way.

But whaever the next khan film will be it has no excuse not to kick all sorts of ass ... afterall I presume they have to start it with the tv series introduction to khan, which is as good or better than anything in the movie.... Where him and all his supersoldiers are asleep in a cryogenic space jail, and they dont realize hes a threat until long after hes been up and around their ship and crew.

Black Cat + Spider-Man 4= Crap
Even though Black Cat in Spider-Man 4 will potentially make the movie terrible, I'd say she should be played by either Anne Hathaway or Jessica Biel.

I really like the Rachel McAdams casting rumour and find her to be a beyond great choice. Another actress who would do well though would be Anne Hathaway.
