Felicity Jones On Playing "Felicia" In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 And Her Hopes To Suit Up As Black Cat

As you may recall (or have probably forgotten), Felicity Jones played Felicia in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, & the actress has now reflected on that & whether she'd like to return to the role at some point.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a very busy movie which introduced a lot of different characters and elements as Sony Pictures continued building toward both a third and fourth movie along with a spinoff revolving around the Sinister Six

Along the way, we also met an Oscorp employee named "Felicia" who was supposed to be Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. Black Cat. Now, actress Felicity Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) has revealed that she was never actually told whether or not she would be given the opportunity to adopt that persona.


"There was never anything written down that that would definitely happen," she revealed. "It was more just…I like playing characters where there is a little bit extra to play with and it was just fun to play someone who has this other identity. I just loved the idea of that character, I just think it’s really fun."

As for whether she'd be open to playing Black Cat (remember that Sony is developing a standalone movie featuring the anti-hero), Jones added: "I’d love to play her again. She’s a great character."

Black Cat was supposed to star in a team-up movie with Silver Sable but plans changed and her future is now uncertain. Do you think Jones would still be a good fit for the role at this point?

I like her, but not for Felicia. Just real bad casting.

@Soos - That's tough because I'd want someone roughly Tom Holland's age, and I just don't know that many actors in that range.

Gun to my head, I might look at Natalie Alyn Lind for it. I only know her from some (not great) writing, but she's more the type I'd peg for an MCU Felicia. Maybe Chloe Moretz. Though, it's hard considering Peter's supporting cast being a little wonky. How she would play off of Mary Jane (or rather play off her specter) would be my first concern, and since what they're doing with her is so off-beat, I'd really need to know better what their plans are before I'd commit.

As long as we're putting guns to my head, am I saying that Felicity Jones is completely irredeemably terrible? I guess not. The slight characterization she got in TASM2 really was. And considering how small the role was and how that whole franchise has been binned, it's hard to make the case that this casting is something worth salvaging.

Her not suiting up as Black Cat is the ONLY thing that bothers me of TASM franchise being cancelled :(

@LongMayHeReign - Thicc Black Cat is best Black Cat

She should play an older Kitty Pryde imo. That is spot on casting.


I don't like her for Felicia.

I don't know who I'd want for an MCU Black Cat/Felicia Hardy. Really on a shallow basis I'd pick someone like Dove Cameron (though she was scooped up by AoS)

(Also she's unreasonably perfect looking)

Nah - she's pretty but looks nothing like Felicia/Black Cat.
