Eliza Dushku - "Spiderman 4" Movie - Mtv.com Video Interview

’Spider-Man 4’ Black Cat Casting : What About Eliza Dushku ?

Sure, Anne Hathaway is the latest in a long line of rumored contenders for the role of Black Cat in "Spider-Man 4" (even though there’s no confirmation the character is even in the film), but does anyone remember another rumor from a few years back that cast an entirely different actress in the role ?

Well, even if you didn’t remember the pre-"Spider-Man 3" rumor that had "Dollhouse" actress Eliza Dushku playing cat burglar Felicia Hardy, we did — and we asked her about it when she dropped by Splash Page HQ a while back.

"Don’t you love the Internet and the fans out there ?" Dushku laughed when MTV Movies Editor Josh Horowitz asked if she’d seen the fan-made "Spider-Man 4" posters with her as Black Cat. "They do it up !"

While Dushku didn’t seem to have heard from anyone in the "Spider-Man 4" camp at that point (the interview was conducted last month), she seemed more than willing to suit up in the character’s skin-tight costume, given the chance.

"Would you like to see me not just superimposed, but as Black Cat ?" asked Dushku.

Well, when Eliza Dushku asks you a question like that, the answer is obvious : an emphatic "Yes."

"Okay, well, tell your friends - write a letter," she laughed.

So, there you go, folks. Do we have another name to add to the list of Black Cat hopefuls ? Heck, there’s at least as much support for this rumor as there is for the rest of the "Spider-Man 4" rumors, so...
