This is almost becoming a daily thing.  We've seen the reports of the other ladies in talks for a female role in Spider-Man 4 Rachel McAdams said she knew nothing about the rumor involving her.  Yesterday there was talk of Julia Stiles had talked to the casting company involved with the movie.  Now it's time to throw Anne Hathaway into the mix.
 
We'll always have rumors but that doesn't mean there isn't any truth to these.  All that is being said is these ladies have been "in talks."  Part of me does wonder if Sony is just trying to collect their phone numbers, if you know what I mean.  This bit of news comes courtesy of Nikki Finke.  She has some incredible sources and was the one to break the Chris Hemsworth/Thor news.  I'm pretty sure she broke another bit of news but it escapes me at the moment.
 
What her sources tell her is that the producers have approached Hathaway to star in the film.  The question is, for what role?  Are we still talking about Black Cat?  That's never been officially confirmed but it looks likely that Black Cat will appear.  Could Hathaway pull off the role of Black Cat?  I would say she's better suited for the role that Julia Stiles is.  I kind of hate to admit but I just recently saw Get Smart on HBO and she did do a somewhat action-type role.  Question is, what would she look like with white hair?  Probably something like the image to the right.  Hopefully not as pale.
 
We'll see if someone else's name pops up later today or tomorrow.  Again, there's no word that she was approached for Black Cat or if Black Cat is definitely in the movie.  We'll just have to wait and see.  What do you think about Hathaway in Spider-Man 4?

Now we're cooking with gas.  That'd be great if it came to fruition.  Kirsten who?  Yeah.

I don't mind her for Black Cat, but i really don't want to see Black cat at all.

I like Julia Stiles better (because of her voice) but she looks too similar to Kirsten Dunst. Anne reminds me of Sean Young, so good choice.

Lot of rumours flying around. Not sure what to believe but I think Anne Hathaway would be a mistake for kinda the same reasons Julia Stiles would have been. She just doesn't look the part and I've never seen her play a role that would suggest she could pull off Felicia. I think they should go with a less established, but hopefully talented actress who actually suits the role.

If she is up for Black Cat, I can get behind that (figuratively of course). She has the right body and is not a bad actress. Not sure how physical she can be though.

NICE! best rumor so far, shes is the best fit thus far for the role. But remember who the other female characters are. Black cat(maybe, if shes in it) But there is Bettie Brant,  Elizabeth Banks did say that she would not be returning to the role. And Gwen stacy might be in the movie as well without Bryce dallas Howard. 
 
So in conclution possible female roles that they could be casting for are: Bettie Brant, Gwen Stacy and maybe Black Cat. 
I remeber Sam Raimi was saying he wasent sure if Kristen Dunst was returning, was it comfirmed that she is for sure? I cant remember.
Cheers all, just remeber there are other female characters to be cast in the movie ( mainly bettie Brant) so dont jump to thinking they are up for black Cat for sure.
 
Have a good one all!
 
UPDATE: 
http://twitter.com/MovieScoop  they are stating that Anne Hathaway will be playing a character known as  Valeria. Could this mean Valeria Tommes? Vulters daughter? I know sam Raimi originally had Vulture to be the bad guy in Spidy 3 till the studio made him change everything and add Venom.

I think she could definitely do it, look at get smart.. she can be physical and you know anything in the air would all be CGI so as long as the latex fits...

The person they end up picking won't either.

As much as I like both Anne Hathaway and Julia Stiles, it just seems like it could be a stretch for them to try to pull off a Tina Louise or Julie Newmar as Black Cat...I just don't see them as "sexy". But then again, Kirsten Dunst isn't going for that either...she's going for the girl next door...

I think they are trying to confuse us ...
Send out lots of rumours so no one will expect it when they cast someone completely different!

This is really becoming more of a trend. What was once exciting is starting to become tedious. I wasn't thrilled about this coming movie before, but now it's just getting silly.
 
On some ways, I blame things like Twitter. People can say something on Twitter and that starts a rumor that starts getting reported as fact.

The Mary Jane they made for the movies is far more like they took Mary Jane with Gwen Stacy and mushed them together into one.
