Julie Newmar wants Angelina Jolie to play Catwoman in next Batman movie
The Dark Knight has only been out for a couple of weeks and already buzz is starting on the sequel. It’s sad that Heath Ledger won’t be able to reprise his brilliantly creepy Joker, it looks like director Christopher Nolan is looking to tap another big Hollywood name to play the villain. 60s TV catwoman, Julie Newmar, says that Angelina Jolie would “own the part” and claims that she’s asked about it:
Hollywood beauty ANGELINA JOLIE has been tipped to play CATWOMAN in a future BATMAN movie – by the actress who made the role famous, JULIE NEWMAR.
Newmar, 74, prowled across the small screen, playing the feline villain in the 1960s Batman television series.
And she would love Jolie to take on the role – if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to resurrect the character in a future sequel.
Newmar tells the New York Daily News, “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”
Since Newmar, the Catwoman role has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.
It would take a brave, fearless actress to pick up Catwoman’s whip after the stinker of a film starring Halle Berry that came out a few years ago. Jolie is the kind of woman who could pull it off, provided the script is good enough and she’s not pregnant again. Personally, I think Catwoman should have been retired after the fabulous Michelle Pfeiffer played the role in “Batman Returns.” I would like to see some new villains on the big screen.
