Anne Hathaway was all signed up and able to play Felicia Hardy a.okay.a. Black Cat reverse Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 4,” however the film fell aside when Sony Pictures determined to not proceed the Raimi-Maguire storyline. The studio opted to reboot the Marvel hero as an alternative (Andrew Garfield’s “The Amazing Spider-Man”), however Hathaway shouldn’t be hung up on lacking out on her likelihood to play Black Cat. During an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Hathaway revealed she by no means even learn a full “Spider-Man 4” script.
“I did not get into costume and did not read a script past the audition sides,” Hathaway defined. “I got the part and, yeah, it just… That’s probably more the producers’ story to tell than mine, should they ever decide to tell it. The ‘Spider-Man’ universe has gone on to be so enormous and so thrilling. It’s just reinventing itself and all of those things, so I wouldn’t want to make more of it than is necessary.”
Hathaway didn’t get to star in a “Spider-Man” film, however she thinks that solely helped her probabilities of touchdown the position of Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” The movie marked the beginning of a collaboration with Christopher Nolan that continued with “Interstellar.”
“If [‘Spider-Man 4’] had gotten made, I don’t know if I would’ve been considered for [‘The Dark Knight Rises’],” Hathaway famous, stressing that each position does or doesn’t occur for a purpose. “Perhaps [Christopher Nolan] would’ve said, ‘No, she’s occupied in another universe.’”
Hathaway’s total profession philosophy is that each position does or doesn’t occur for a purpose, so it’s by no means value it to remorse missed alternatives like “Spider-Man 4.”
“You learn to just go… the right role finds the right person, and sometimes it’s you and sometimes not,” Hathaway mentioned. “When it doesn’t happen, trust deeper and keep going … It sounds maybe corny but you really do have to keep it grateful.”
