Black Cat News That Has Nothing to Do with the Janet Jackson Song

?Meet Rachel McAdams, star of Wedding Crashers, The Time Traveler’s Wife and Guy Ritchie’s upcoming Sherlock Holmes. You don’t hear too much gossip about Ms. McAdams, so maybe she is one of those nice Hollywood starlets who wants to live a celebrity life free of controversy. So I wonder how she is feeling right about now that thousands of unkempt nerds across the nation are groping their nethers and fantasizing about her in a latex Black Cat costume. Yes, apparently she is in talks to take on the role of Spidey’s lovesick sometimes nemesis.

Here’s what Slashfilm has to say on the matter:

Rachel McAdams has met with the producers of Spider-Man 4 to play the role of Black Cat. The female cat burglar has long been rumored to be part of the next installment of Sam Raimi’s big-screen Spider-Man series, although there has never been confirmation of such. If true, she would likely be one of two rivals in the fourth movie (technically, she is more of an anti-hero/love interest). Many other people assume that the other villain would be The Lizard. Black Cat would be a good addition to the film series as she would fit into both Peter Parker’s personal and private superhero storylines.

This seems like great casting news, but are two villains really necessary again? And just what is Bruce Campell’s “expanded role” in the flick going to be? Most importantly, will Spidey ever dance again? ? C.C.
