“I’ll just tell her, get ready, they might come for you – but don’t let that affect your interpretation about who she thinks Catwoman might be,” she said. “I personally think she’s going to be a wonderful Catwoman.”
While many actresses have taken on the role of Selina Kyle such as Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton’s “Batman”, or most recently Anne Hathaway in “The Dark Knights Rises” – Berry is the only actress to star in her own solo “Catwoman” movie.
