McAdams Is Out, Julia Stiles In Talks For Spider-Man 4?
UGO has discovered that Julia Stiles met with a New York casting company to talk about appearing in Spider-Man 4. There hasn't been any specific details revealed but the speculation points to Stiles playing Black Cat.
I wasn't totally sold on McAdams playing Black Cat and I'm almost less convinced Stiles should. Sure it would be a good career move for her (as pointed out by the UGO writer). She hasn't had an active lead role like this before and could put her more into the spotlight. That's also the problem I have, she hasn't done something like this before. I'm not saying that by not appearing in an action/superhero role would rule her out. She just doesn't seem like a good fit for Felicia Hardy in my opinion. If you asked me who I thought would be a better fit, I couldn't really tell you. Perhaps there isn't a need to have an established actress for the role. I understand why Sony would want that but no one immediately comes to mind. For now, I hope this is simply another rumor or perhaps she is trying out for another role. What are your thoughts?
I can imagine Stiles playing the role but I really think that Sony is just afraid to cast a lesser name. I almost wish that they would just do the character justice and go for somebody who fit the role better instead of star power. A casting call outside of big name actresses would be best.
I love Stiles !! but this isnt a good role for her. But i dont like the choice for Black Widow either.
I dont think there is anyone really good right now to play Black Cat but if had to be someone McAdams has the look and i think could pull off learning some fighting moves. Julia Stiles might not be a great fit for that role however i thought she was great in the bourne movies which i wouldnt peg her for.
Ummmmm I'm not really sure about this one....
I think Jessica Biel (Blade Trinity) be nice or Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) they have experience in the field of action
Well, the rumor of McAdams did say she was their favorite to play the role, that does not mean that they auditioned her or even talked to her about it yet. As for stiles, NO, im sorry but im not a fan of hers at all. But who knows maybe shes not trying for black cat and shes trying out for the new bettie Brant. Elizibeth banks has stated that she did not want to return to the role. I think everyone is just jumping to conclutions here.
I guess at this point I just don't care. I was so disappointed in the 3rd installment that this maybe a dvd watch for me. I personally don't think Stiles could play the part of Felicia, i would want someone who is as exotic with and with out the mask, not just a name. I need to agree with a lot of the other post here, I would rather see a bigger villan (emphasis on singulatiy here) in the next movie. There is such good souce material out there I don't understand why they don't use it. just my 2 cents
i dont understand the ewws. Styles is hot and a great actress.
granted, she hasnt done much of anything like this in her career, but dont hold that against her.
Ledger had a similar career before Dark Knight (which people thought he would bomb), and he reinvented the character to match his style of acting.
Styles doesnt really have a style of acting, just a typecast shes been chained to for years. And its not like movies ever chain themselves to the origionla character 100%. They always allow/make changes. Every comics character that has ever existed in movies has been altered to fit the actor they choose. So stop acting like Styles somewhat different version of BC would be breaking some sort of golden rule. I still feel like Tobey as spiderman was a crap choice, but nobody else seems to care that he has a serious problem portraying emotions correctly.
so if this does go through, lets try to at least keep an open mind about it. That either she will be able to do her stunts or they will do great CGI/Stunt work, and that she can make the role work for her.
Well since they have likely cast the most unattracive Mary Jane possible, why not have a man-voiced, off-putting Black Cat as well?
I mean they killed off the little Osborne who could have been a consistent foil in upcoming movies and gave him the lamest supervillain costume ever (Extreme Sports-Man?). Gwen Stacy was a great cast but used ALL WRONG.They cast the biggest pencil-necked geek from that 70s Show to play arrogant, hulking Eddie Brock, made Doc Oc look like a freaking hobo with cybernetic tentacles, and their Peter Parker is already unlikeable; so why the heck not right?
IMO the only things they've done even close to right are Green Goblin and Sandman, and Spidey in action actually looks like he came right from the comics...
And the worst part about all this is that I consider the Spider-Man movies to be the best that hollywood has offered in comic book fare.
" I absolutely love Julia Stiles but she isn't the Black Cat. Pure and simple. "co signed
look, i know megan fox is a blithering idiot, but think about this for a minute....just put your emotion aside for just a sec. she's perfect for it. she has the outright sexuality needed for this role if you want to go for an established (ahem) star if you want to stay away from getting a newcomer. when you contemplate it, she actually looks like black cat. the only thing i would worry about is her acting....as per usual.
" Agent Buttons: I think Yvonne Strahovski(Sarah Walker from CHUCK)would make a GREAT Black Cat!;p "I cannot agree more.
Everyone is so hasty to jump on a hate wagon. Though I would have liked a younger Parker and MJ, I'd hate casting changes this far in now. I know fanboys will always whine, but I'd give her (Stiles) a chance before judging so hastily.
I like Julia Stiles as much as one can suffer whiny, screechy, overbearing angst. She's been quite good in the Bourne films. She just does not ooze the sultriness of the Black Cat...unless of course Tobey Maguire is going to be stepping on her tail for the entire movie...
I'm a fan of Julia Stiles, and think she's a really good actress but I agree, I can't see her as Black Cat myself.
" I believe this will be a Fail. "These movies have been on a downward spiral after the first. I get why they gave Peter organic webbing. I felt that was an acceptable change. Things are just starting to get silly. This is the series that made Sandman partly responsible for Uncle Ben's death, and Eddie Brock a pathetic little Gwen Stacy stalker. Now we hear that for some reason Felicia's father takes over the Bugle.
I thought it would of been better if the third movie had just been about Peter and the black suit. Have the very end being him conquering the suit and watch it find Brock with a hint of what Venom would look like. That way this movie could have Venom as the sole villain. Rather then complicating the matter with Sandman.
The cast sucks already.It has since Spider-Man 1.It's not going to get any better.No reason to whine.Kirsten Dunst is Mary Jane for godsakes.
" @AngelFrost said:No, but I've seen her in '10 Things I hate About You' (love that movie) and in Wicked. :She's great in those movies." I'm a fan of Julia Stiles, and think she's a really good actress but I agree, I can't see her as Black Cat myself. "Did you see Save The Last Dance? She's awful. "
"Hahaha awesome.doesnt matter who plays her, the fanboys are all gonna be whining anyway, but yeah ick. rather have a new mary-jane, and peter parker too while they're at it

That's all I have to say about the subject.

" These movies have been on a downward spiral after the first."You think so? I thought 2 was much better than 1, at least the Spider-Man parts (villain-wise, not so much). I do think that 3 couldn't have been much worse, though.
I'm not saying Spider-man 2 was horrible. It just lacked. The villain was well done. I think they over complicate the story when they add too many villains. It was what was killing the Batman movies for a while, then they rebooted them.
" I'm hoping this is a rumor as well. Elisha Cuthbert should be an actress they should consider. "
