For the uninitiated, Kravitz has previously voiced the character of Catwoman once for the 2017 hit animated spoof The Lego Batman Movie. The actress is no newcomer to comic book and fantasy movies anyway. She has starred in 2011’s X-Men: First Class, 2016’s Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and its 2018 sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. She will be the fourth star to play Catwoman on the big screen, after Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway.
The Batman releases June 25, 2021, in cinemas in India and abroad. Production is expected to start in January in London. The film is directed by Matt Reeves.
