This year’s “it girl” Megan Fox is destined to wear the famed Catwoman suit in the next addition of Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel. She will star as Selina Kyle alongside Christian Bale, who will once again star as Batman, and Michael Cane who will play his butler.
With past talk of Megan Fox being a younger and more sexier Angelina Jolie, this casting decision will throw another log on the fire as the role of Catwoman was rumored to be property of the older, mother of six a few months back. However, this is not the first time the studios have chosen the younger Megan Fox over Jolie. Megan is said to play Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider movie, the same series that made Angelina Jolie a household name in 2001.
Megan Fox will have to compete with her predecessors Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Catwoman in Batman Returns, and Halle Berry, who played the lead in the spin off film Catwoman.
However sexy Megan Fox may be, the role of Catwoman in Bale’s remake is said to be “more sinister” with “a darker edge”.
The new movie is not expected to be released until 2011 and is said to start filming in 2010.
There have been rumors that Johnny Depp will take on the role of The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman will play The Penguin. But other than Megan Fox, Christian Bale and Michael Cane, there have been no other confirmed actors or actresses starring in the new film.
Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, released in 2008, became only the second film to earn more than $500 million at the North American box office. It is also the fourth highest grossing film worldwide, and only the fourth film to earn more than $1 billion, worldwide, according to Wikipedia. The Dark Knight received great reviews and was awarded two Academy Awards – one for Best Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker. Ledger died from an accidental “toxic combination of prescription drugs” during the editing period of The Dark Knight.
The new Batman film will be the third installment of the Christopher Nolan-directed films, which have starred Christian Bale as Batman. The first to hit theatres was Batman Begins in 2005, starring Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Ken Watanabe, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer and, of course, Christian Bale.
Well she definitely looks like she could be catwoman, is she even that good of an actress though?
i can totally picture this
Hmmm I’m interested in this movie. But I would still prefer Jolie to play opposite of Depp. Not that in to Fox.
If all these casting rumors are true, I can’t wait to see the newest one! And though I think Megan Fox would be great, I agree with Sarah: I think Jolie would rock it.
megan fox LOOKS like catwoman…. sounds like a good fit
More sinister and with a darker edge? Perfect for Ms. Fox!
All I know is, Philip Seymour Hoffman is more than fit to play The Penguin.
Halle Berry tried it, hopefully she is better.
I think Megan Fox would be the perfect edition to this film.
I don’t know, maybe I am jealous. But for some reason I don’t think megan fox is all that great. She seems to get media coverage only when she says off the wall remarks or is rude to producers/directors who have practically made her who she is. This film will likely not be on my must-see list.
If this one is anything like the last it will be great. And not such a bad thing to have Megan Fox in tight leather either . . . . .
I will be book marking this site for sure!
It’s interesting how far 3D Movies have come in the last couple years. If you people remember Spiderman from early 2000, and look at things like Doctor Parnassus, made now, you’ll understand what I’m referring to. We’ve just come so far, as long as the Movie is well funded. I can’t wait to see DC’s new Batman 3 coming out 2012.
lol I wonder that Brad and Angelina didnt break up >:)
Christopher Nolan is the picture who movie.overly. DiCaprio stars. I need to tell you the true statement, it was worth the waiting.being informed
