AceShowbiz - Zoe Kravitz said yes to the role of Catwoman because of the character's "really strong femininity."
Last year 2019, it was revealed that the 31-year-old would be starring opposite Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader in the upcoming flick "The Batman", set for a 2021 debut.
Speaking during the Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour, Zoe opened up on what attracted her to the role, which has previously been portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, and Anne Hathaway.
"I think Catwoman, Selina Kyle represents really strong femininity, and I'm excited to dive into that," she said, reported Variety. "I think femininity represents power, and I think it's a different kind of power than masculine power. That's something that's really interesting about Batman and Catwoman."
Zoe explained, "I think Batman represents a very kind of masculine power, and Catwoman represents very feminine power - slightly more complicated, and softer, too. I like the idea that you can be soft, you can be gentle and still be very powerful and still be very dangerous."
"The Batman", also starring Colin Farrell and Peter Sarsgaard, is due for release on June 25, 2021
