Casting suggestions for Spider-Man 4's vinyl-suit-clad feline femme fatale, Black Cat, are being thrown around like confetti at the moment.
She's a shady character, hidden behind a gigantic shock of white-blonde hair, who arrives boasting an abandoned one-time romance with our web-slinging protagonist.
So basically, the contenders must be plausible as a former squeeze of the 34-year-old Mr Maguire, be able to carry off that wacky enormo-wig, and be a dab hand at rearranging criminal faces.
Naturally, we saw this challenge as a soft excuse to look at loads of hot pictur-...no, wait, to consider the relative merits of some likely leading ladies. In an not-at-all superficial way. At all.
Anyway, for your perusal, 18 stellar names we reckon could get the job done...
The Actor: Asia Argento
Purr: A proper tough cookie. Knows a thing or two about working with (indeed, living with) seasoned horror directors. Can probably run, jump and miaow better than a real cat.
Hiss: Looks too much like she might have superpowers for real; the Felicia Hardy bits could be unconvincing. Might look profoundly odd with a huge platinum weave.
Vinyl Score: Not exactly the longest leading lady out there, but a whip-like 6 out of 10 nontheless.
Cat In Hell’s Chance? Only 3 lives out of 9, sadly.
Next: Anne Hathaway

I totally think Bruce Campbell could pull it off...

Scarlett Johansson or Megan Fox. Being young doesn't matter really, as Tobey Maguire still looks about 22. Eva Mendes, if you hadn't noticed, is clearly a f*****g latino, so would be terrible for the role of a pale white woman (unless she whited up).

Kirsten Bell? She's blond, good-looking, she's been in comic book stuff before (well, Heroes might as well be X-Men frankly), and she ought to be able to handle the playful side of Black Cat. Don't know what she'd look like in a vinyl catsuit, but I can't imagine it would be anything but good... Of course, it's been a while since I've seen her in anything, so I can't remember whether she'd look convincing in the action scenes. Still, Christian Bale had that problem before Batman Begins, didn't he?

uma thurman, kate beckinsale or christina ricci seem to fit the role best. having said that, I can imagine thurman and ricci straying a little too close to michelle pfeiffer's catwoman. but then only beckinsale or ricci could plausibly have got it on with peter parker. balls to plausibility, it's just going to be megan fox, isn't it?
