Megan Fox as Catwoman in the Next Dark Knight Film?
August is almost up, and I don’t think we’ve seen a crazy casting rumor regarding the next Dark Knight film just yet. But don’t worry–the Sun is reporting that Megan Fox will be the next Catwoman.
Granted, the Sun is kinda like the overseas version of The National Enquirer, so you should probably take that rumor with a grain of salt. Just like previous rumors of Eddie Murphy as the Riddler or Cher as Catwoman, we figure this Fox rumor will get disspelled–and soon.
Why? Because Fox is quickly becoming the female version of NIcolas Cage. Two Transformers films already, Jonah Hex is in the can, and she’s slated to star in Fathom. As hot (looks and career-wise) as she is, she’s borderline-over exposing herself to a key demographic–the comic book fanboy.
Comic Book fans can turn on a character or an actor/actress in a heartbeat, and Fox would be no exception. If they think they’ve seen enough of her, they’ll vote with their feet. Something tells me that Fox’s agent/handler knows this.
Besides, we don’t think the rumor is true anyway.
Megan Fox Talks Transformers 2, Jonah Hex
‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ opens today in theaters and Craveonline sat down with star Megan Fox. Here are some highlights:
On what the original ‘Transformers’ film did for her career:
I think the movie, its success and how well it was received has opened a lot of doors for me career wise and I’ve been able to be a part of some films that I don’t really feel like I deserve to be a part of and that due greatly in part or solely to the success of Transformers. I just did Jonah Hex with Josh Brolin and Michael Fassbender and John Malkovich. People in general, just actors don’t get those kinds of opportunities. For me to have that is a huge blessing and that’s because of the success of this movie.
About her character in ‘Jonah Hex’, the film she’s currently shooting:
I think they’re naming her Leila now. She’s sort of a twisted love interest to Brolin’s character, to Jonah. She’s a prostitute that he goes to see often.
Regarding the rumors that she’s been offered to be the next Lara Croft:
No. That’s a complete rumor. I haven’t been offered that. No one has even spoken to me about doing that yet.
