Fantastic Beasts actress to play Catwoman in Batman standalone film

According to IGN, the new independent film of "Batman" has confirmed a new cast. The classic DC character "Catwoman" Selina Kyle will be played by black actress Zoe Kravitz, who has starred in many films such as "Fantastic Beasts", "Divergent" and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse".

It is worth noting that when Warner announced this decision, it only announced that black actress Zoe Kravitz would play "Selina Kyle" and did not directly say it was Catwoman. However, Catwoman's real name is Selina Kyle, which is a household name among fans. Even if Warner did not officially say that Zoe Kravitz would play Catwoman, it would be difficult for everyone to imagine Zoe Kravitz not wearing Catwoman's sexy tight leather jacket and holding a whip in "Batman"!

The "Batman" independent film has been confirmed to be made into a series, and the first one will be released in North America on June 25, 2021. Director Matt Reeves hopes to make this "Batman" a crime-driven black film, highlighting Bruce Wayne's detective skills rather than the previous action hero setting. In addition to Catwoman, villains such as the Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face are also expected to appear in the film.
