"Big Little Lies" Actress Zoë Kravitz Cast As Catwoman In Robert Pattinson Starrer "The Batman"

America actress Zoë Kravitz is the fixed choice to portray Catwoman in the new Batman movie, The Batman, starring actor Robert Pattinson.

The news is confirmed by a source of Warner Bros telling AFP just recently.

Kravitz, who lately featured in the famous drama series Big Little Lies of HBO, is rock singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz’s daughter. She will portray the cult whip-wielding cat filcher who is known as both love interest and foe of Batman in the comics.

Before Zoë Kravitz, there was quite a lot of A-list actress taking on the role. The list includes of Anne Hathaway, Halle Berry along with Michelle Pfeiffer and more. The film is scheduled to hit the screens in 2021.

The 30-year-old actress had previously lent her voice to Catwoman in The Lego Batman Movie in 2017 as well as made an appearance in Fantastic Beasts movies of Warner’s, set in the universe of Harry Potter.

Zoë’s mother Lisa Bonet was The Cosby Show’s Denise Huxtable and Lisa’s now-husband is Jason Momoa who achieved big success playing DC’s Aquaman.

The Batman is directorial by Matt Reeves, the director who created the last two sequels of Planet of the Apes. Twilight actor Robert Pattinson was previously announced to play the part of Batman, aka Bruce Wayne.

Pattinson will be Ben Affleck’s alternative as The Gone Girl star retired from playing the character after partaking in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017).

Affleck was supposed to helm the new stand-alone Batman movie. Then and again, he stood aside and Reeves replaced him in 2017. Besides, actor Jonah Hill is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the film.
