Vanessa Kirby (
Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Hobbs and Shaw) is rumored to be one of the actresses Matt Reeves is looking at for the role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman in
The Batman.
The report comes from
Geeks Worldwide, who reckons the 31-year-old British actress is on Warner Bros. and Reeves' radar, but stress that no formal talks have taken place.
We'll have to take this with the usual grain of salt, of course, but GWW has had some solid scoops in the past and the site was the first to mention that
Dark Phoenix actor Nicholas Hoult was a contender to land the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, which was later confirmed by the trades.
At any rate, we should begin to hear more names pop up fairly soon - and not just for Catwoman. If recent rumors are to be believed, the movie is going to feature a lot of The Caped Crusader's villains, including The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and more.
Robert Pattinson will play a younger take on
The Batman. The reboot is set to hit theaters in June of 2021.
