Zazie Beetz has already appeared in two comic book films with Deadpool 2 and Joker, and while she doesn’t want to keep being cast in these kinds of movies, there is one superhero character that she would love to play one day… DC’s Catwoman.
During an interview with Inverse, while promoting her episode of Black Mirror Season 6, she was asked about her dream roles, and this was her reply:
“I can’t be playing too many superhero types of movies. She’s just so iconic, and it’s already been done so many times. I don’t know, she’s just cool, and I feel like I am a cat at heart myself.”
It’s not impossible for Beetz to play Catwoman, Batman has been done so many times as well, so it’s not like Catwoman can’t be done again! In fact, I’m pretty confident we will see a new Catwoman introduced in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Cinematic Universe. There’s a good chance that she’ll pop up in director Andy Muschietti’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but we’ll just have to wait and see who they end up casting in the role.
It’s not hard to imagine Beetz in the role and I have no doubt that she would do something cool and unique in the role. Zoe Kravitz most recently took on the role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and starred alongside Robert Pattinson.
Beetz is currently set to reprise her role as Sophie Dumond in Joker: Folie à Deux. Just because she’s in that, though, doesn’t mean she can’t appear as Catwoman because that film is set in a completely separate universe.
Do you think Beetz is a good choice to take on the role of Catwoman?
