She has very beautiful eyes.

Billie Piper as Black Cat

Eh not feeling the change in her origin story...and she's cute but I don't see her as Black Cat. If they don't get Rachel McAdams they should try for Elisha Cuthbert.

I want to see Black Cat in the new movie, but I am not crazy on this new origin. Although I am surprised Felicia hadn't already made an appearance, even if it was just as Felicia. I think they should just stick with the original origin. I also think she needs to be a minor villain for the movie. That way you don't have the big bad woman turn good at the end. That's so over played in movies, I mean you had Sandman and Doc Oc do the same thing and Harry to a lesser extent. I half expected Venom to be Spidey's friend by the end of the fourth movie. I think Mysterio would be a good big bad for the fourth movie. He could do something to Hardy and make it appear that it was Spiderman and there you go you got your revenge plot, but again that's overplayed too. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Wow, that proposed plot sounds awful.

She sounds kinda hard on herself.

Can't we just make Black Cat be his sidekick and not a villain?

The new editor? As in A new editor, not the new editor-in-chief to replace Robbie or JJJ (I forget which is which position in the movie)?
 
Also, can't say I like that idea. It doesn't make any sense, nor do I see a reason to change the back story. Her dad was a criminal, so she's one until Spidey reforms her. It's not that complicated or require any real setup.

Everybody is going on and on about the back stories of Marvel movie characters blah blah blah.  
 
Although what Niko just said rings some bells in my ears. I love me some JJJ, and I feel like if J.K Simmons doesn't want to do the movie they shouldn't really do much with the Daily Bugle. If its Robbie I can live with it, though I would prefer if the actor was still in it someway for a brief cameo appearance, that way it just doesn't feel like they replaced the actor cause they couldn't book him and just tossed this guy in here instead (Though we all don't get our wishes) 
 
The fact that I'm glad they aren't keeping Felcia's original origins story is that if they spent the time doing that they should have thought about keeping other story lines pure to 616. Not going to mention any but I'm sure you can think of some, even in other Marvel movies. 
 
Which brings me to my next point. "Garsh, I hate Ultimate Spider-Man because it doesn't stick to the real origins story of Peter Parker, Mary-Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, Norman Osborne etc." Why does that sound stupid? I shouldn't be asking that I'm sure you know why that sounds stupid. I feel like most people don't realize that no movie is going to be a perfect film adaption to what they're basing it off of, there are a lot of things to consider why they do the things they do and I don't generally want to think of them because I feel like Ultimate Spider-Man and the Ultimate Universe in general (And of course all of the other expansive universes), these movies are just another universe of Marvel. Course it ain't going to be like 616, its a different universe. Felicia Hardy has a different origins story, well lets see how good it is in comparison and take it as is instead of trying to compare it to something that it can't be nor will ever be. A perfect film adaption.  
 
Cause :P Hollywood is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good at making those amirite? <---Sarcasm 
 
I'm still hating on Fox for Baraka-Pool  

I can live with that back story, sounds workable to me.

Sounds good so far.

Hooray! Black Cat!

I think Romola Garai is a good choice, but I'm very much against changing her story. 

I hope Felicia will fall in love with Spider-Man, not Peter (as written above), that's a big part of their story in the comic. I would prefer if they didn't know each other, I don't like the idea of concentrating Peter's potential girlfriends at his work. The Black Cat is wild, spontaneous. We shouldn't know too much about her. I think it would be more exciting (for us) if he accidently bumped into her on the street or something.

I wish they would quit changing the characters' stories. It started with Mary Jane, continued with Sandman .... haven't they learned their lesson?
