By now you've all heard the latest "Spider-Man 4" casting rumors — depending on which source you read, both Julia Stiles and Anne Hathaway are up for the role of Felicia Hardy, the burglar known as Black Cat. We offered up our own suggestions for the role a while back in our weekly Secret Identity column, and also pondered Eliza Dushku's willingness to play the role.
However, Stiles' arrival on the rumor scene got us thinking about a recent interview with the actress in which she discussed her interest in comic book movies and debunked a casting rumor that had been floating around the 'Net. While the interview was conducted prior to the recent "Spider-Man 4" buzz, it seemed a good time to throw the clip out there and see what possibilities fans can draw from it.
"No, not that I'm aware of," Stiles said when asked about a rumor that she was up for the role of Sue Storm in the "Fantastic Four" movie. "I was never told that I was being considered for that role. I was surprised by that."
While Stiles said she has an interest in comics — having just read Michael Chabon's prize-winning novel "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" — she said there weren't any existing projects that have caught her eye.
However, she told MTV News she wouldn't balk at being offered a role in a comic book movie, either.
"I try to keep an open mind to opportunities various," she said.
Think Stiles would make a good Black Cat? What other roles might she be a good fit for? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!
