According to Contact Music, Kirsten Dunst is being written out of Spider-Man 4 and Anne Hathaway will be the new central love interest of the film series. Anne Hathaway is rumored to be playing Black Cat or Vulturess, neither have been confirmed. In fact, Hathaway has not been confirmed.
A source says, "The plan is for her character to be written out, probably by dying. "Anne will take over as Peter Parker's new love interest for this project and for Spider-Man 5 and 6 which are being written now. Anne's in L.A. doing a lot of meetings on the movie, because filming is right around the corner."
I know that Kirsten Dunst is so-so to Spidey fans. Some love her, some hate her. It intrigues me though that Hathaway will likely be Black Cat in all three of the next films... how will they make it so that she sticks around?
cookiepussproduction: My theory has been that considering Vulture and Black Cat are looking to be the villains (heck, I even did an article once talking about certain things I picked up on and made the connections), and Felicia Hardy was said to be Adrien Toomes daughter, which makes me think that The Vulture will be the main and only villain in Spider-Man 4, Felicia becomes Black Cat in Spider-Man 5, then she returns for Spider-Man 6?
