Captain Marvel, which arrives in 2019, is Marvel and Disney’s first solo female superhero adventure. And as expected, there are plenty of actresses vying for the role. Perhaps none more so thanKatee Sackhoff. But as she recently revealed to Playboy, there may be another Marvel character that she is more interested in, especially as the cattle call for Carol Danvers becomes increasingly crowded.
Katee Sackhoffis the queen of nerd franchises. Everyone fell in love with her inBattlestar Galactica. And she carried that good will over to a role in the sci-fi thrillerRiddickstarring oppositeVin Diesel. She’s tussled with serial killer Mike Myers inHalloween: Resurrection, played with theThe Bionic Woman, and run alongside Jack Bauer on24. She’s even hung out with Leonard and Sheldon onThe Big Bang Theory. Twice. And despite the fact that she’s voiced a popularStar Warscharacter, she still has never played a Marvel character on the big or small screen.
That may all change soon enough. Rumors continue to rise up that she is joining theMarvel Cinematic Universein some capacity. And she’s admitted that she’s had meetings with the studio. But so far, nothing has come of it. Now, speaking withPlayboy, the fan-favorite actress has revealed whom she might rather take on thanCaptain Marvel. And it’s a character she’s played before. She wants to reprise her role asBlack Catin theSpider-Manreboot.
“Oh, 100% I’d do that! I love playing characters who are multilayered and multidimensional and have a darkness to them, which makes them more realistic and more fun to play.”
While she says in the interview that she has taken meetings with Marvel, she doesn’t offer any other hint as to whom she might be playing. She has hinted in the past that Carol Danvers may be too much of a hero for her, and is looking to stray to the dark side with a character that is a little more villainous. Black Cat, who goes by the name Felicia Hardy is known as an anti-hero. She has a bad reputation, but she’s also been romantically linked toPeter Parker. Though, she seems a little too old for the high school agedTom Holland.Katee Sackhoffpreviously voiced Black Cat in the video gameSpider-Man: Edge of Time.
While we didn’t get to see Black Cat on the big screen (the character as not appeared in any of the movies), we did get to meet Felicia Hardy inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2. And it clearly looked as though Black Cat’s entrance was being set up forThe Amazing Spider-Man 3. Sadly that isn’t happening, asMarvel and Sonyhave decided to completely reboot the franchise, and make it part of the MCU. The character of Felicia Hardy was originated for the screen byFelicity Jones.
At this time, we don’t know if the new Spider-Man has plans to use Black Cat, but its not impossible. We’ve heard that the first installment of this rebooted franchise will bring invillainKraven the Hunter. However it turns out, we’ll let you know as soon asKatee Sackhoffsuits up for aMarvel adventure. What do you think of her as Black Cat? We’ve included a trailer forSpider-Man: Edge of Time, which shows what she’s capable of bringing to this character.
