Will the sexy Felicia Hardy make an appearance as Black Cat in SPIDER-MAN 4?

A reliable source for Mania says that not only is Black Cat part of the storyline, but Rachel McAdams is the top contender for the role. Apparently, Ms. Hardy fits in well with Raimi's storyline for the next spidey movie. They are also casting for a second unknown male villain in addition to Curt Conners as the lizard.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little turned on by the idea of McAdams playing the cat. I mean seriously, not only is she beautiful but think about her in that tight as hell black suit. Felicia is my favorite female character in the comic universe, and it would be nice to see her take some of the screen time away from Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst).

As you might already know, Felicia has a bit of a troubled past. It starts with Mr. Hardy, who was a bit of an influence on his daughter, as a well-known cat burglar. In college, she was date raped by her boyfriend who later on gets killed in a car accident. The rape infuriated her, and before the lousy bastard was killed she decided to study different fighting styles in order to exact her revenge. Felicia used the Black Cat image to break her Dad out of jail constantly, until he died. Later she's taken to a mental hospital...the list goes on. She feels a kinship with Spider-man and has been many different things to him: a lover, a friend, an ally, and an enemy.

I really hope we see McAdams as Black Cat, but I'd take Eliza Dushku if that falls through.

*Drool*

Extra Tidbit: If Jenna Busch is going to Comic-Con next year as White Queen, I'd like to go as a really f*cking short Black Cat. Also, check out both of the artists who drew the gorgeous Felicia: Veripwolf & Mark Brooks. Gotta give props to my fellow Deviant artists.

I have no problem with Dushku but she doesn't really fit the part of Black Cat.

Dushku is Better
I'd rather see Eliza Dushku don the Black Cat suit, but McAdams doesn't sound that bad.

Good Movies with Multiple Villians
Batman Begins and Batman Returns both had multiple villians. It can work if handled correctly. It was a mistake to put Vemon in Spidey 3, but its hard to argue with the studio that is paying for the films production. If it is Lizard and Kraven it can work. Black cat isn't really a villain anyway.

I know, I'm sorry. I'm usually quite good about adding the hot women. I will not make this mistake again. I just had to add that large Black Cat photo.

As for Black Cat...
DROOL!!!



I'm sorry, KD shoulda been kicked off back in Spidy 2. Still hot I guess, (remember seeing her nipples in the 1st movie and feeling confused as a 13 year old watching this movie with your mom??? LOL) but supermodel material? Please...

Any ideas for a replacement? I'm talking reasonable ideas, not just Diora Baird to see some super loving on Spidy...cuz that's bye...

Don't knock the Idea until you see the trailer...
Remember seeing the trailer to the original Spidy and then seeing how awesome it was in theaters. Then, remember seeing the trailer to Spidy 2 where Doc Ock was just busting shit up everywhere, then going to see the movie and it kicking ass? Then remember seeing the trailer for Spidy 3 and thinking, wait, is this one all about Venom??? Studio's fault, not Raimi's, and we've been saying it for...

BTW, this is exactly what I was thinking for part 3...that or Quentin Tarantino (finally not as a rapist) as Quentin Beck aka Mysterio, with all kinds of awesomeness going on...and a second guy like Vulture somewhere in between.

So let me guess the story. Lizard runs around New York and Peter tries to stop him. He finds out he's Connors and tries to help him, by then, Kraven is running around. And at the same time Black Cat is playing a love interest???



This sounds like an even larger mess than Spider-man 3.

Sounds fake!
Raimi has already stated he'd prefer a single villain and now he'd have three? He wouldn't contradict himself so quickly.

You lost me at "2nd male villain".



One villain per movie is the only recipe that works.

People complain, but really this makes sense. What would a movie with The Lizzard be without Kraven the Hunter? I guarantee he's the second male villain.

I've never heard of Black Cat. at first I thought they were talking about Cat Woman. Rachel Mcadams would be good though. I liked her in Time Travelers Wife, though it seems not many people liked that movie.

This is a shitty idea, because the writers forgot how to manage multiple characters after the middle of part 2. Spidey needs 1 villain to battle, and battle hard. That's it. This franchise is too full, that's one of the reasons the last movie was garbage.

Remember when Black Cat was said to be in Spider-Man 2? Then was confirmed for Spider-Man 3?



I'll believe it when I see her in the trailer. Honestly, I hope she isn't in Spidey 4. Raimi said that he is going back to basics, so I just want to see something simple. Spider-Man vs The Lizard sounds like a great simple idea.

I could assume that Conners and Kraven are the two heavy hitters, with Black Cat being more of another love interest for Spider-Man, unlike the previous three films which was Peter Parker's love story.

If that comes true, you can be sure there wont be any Catwoman in a third Batman installment. Whether its a good thing or not is for you to decide.

I can see what you mean. If Catwoman was to be involved in Bats 3 they might be hesitant after this little bit of news. I'd rather see Catwoman in a third Batman than Black Cat in a 4th Spidey, even though her role in Spidey could be pretty fitting.

Felicia Hardy could be the new Harry Osbourne in the franchise. It'll work just as long as she doesn't actually become Black cat until Spiderman 5 or 6.

While I'm on the fence about 3 villains AGAIN, Black Cat could always be a sidekick or something...and Rachel McAdams as her is the BEST thing I've heard since Dylan Baker coming back as the Lizard(reportedly)

I like Black Cat being in Spidey 4
But here's the kicker Black Cat NEEDS GIANT TITS! It's one of her most important character traits, while McAdams is a good actress but she doesn't have the presence or the rack to pull it off.

Honestly, since it is a rumor, none of this may be true. Raimi said that he knew there was a mistake in casting so many villains. If anything, they may go light on Black Cat. I don't think they'll start her off as a villain. Unconfirmed or not, Lizard is the obvious way to go as the next baddy. Perhaps they'll tease a third villain, like they should have with Venom in 3. That's just my opinion....

Another stupid love triangle. For fcks sake there is no difference in these films. Let me guess, Maryjane is going to be captured at the end and Tobey is going to cry. Crap generic films that truly are uninspired.

on a side note, I have to say...Niki has become my favorite columnist on this site...she delivers news worth telling, she's got grammar that doesn't make me want to strangle a cat, she's into chicks enough for it to be hot, and she likes comics.

Well done Joblo...this one's a keeper.
