From Nikki Finke:
"You know I'm insecure about my geek bonafides which I've been trying to improve in recent years. (Heck, I grew up never reading a single comic book.) But I'm aware that the internet has been afloat with "Spider-Man 4" casting rumors in recent days. While Sony Pictures insists no decisions have been made, sources tell me that the producers have approached Anne Hathaway to star in the film. Maybe you experts have an idea whom she'll play? All I know is that she's wanted for a starring role, and she won't replace Kirsten Dunst who's also cast. UPDATE: You readers think the role is The Black Cat."
I wonder whom she'll be.

MarvelScoop, who has previously given us dead-on info regarding Marvel movie news, just released this tidbit:
"Exclusive scoop: Anne Hathaway will play 'Valeria' in the next SPIDERMAN"
Maybe some of you Spider-Man historians can shed light on who this character could be.
The only one that comes to mind is Valeria, the daughter of Reed (or was it Doom) and Sue Richards. Since the FF movie rights are owned by Fox and not Sony, I see that as very unlikely.
It could also follow along the lines of the previously leaked plot (I'm sure you all remember that one) regarding the Vulture taking over the Daily Bugle and his daughter becoming the Black Cat.
What do you think?
