Casting 'Catwoman' - 4 Actresses Halle Berry Competed With to Play the Iconic Antihero (an Oscar-Winner Turned it Down!)

Halle Berry‘s Catwoman didn’t dominate the box office as expected, but it went down in history regardless!

Released in 2004, the movie won her a Razzie award for Worst Actress, which she gracefully accepted. Over the years, it’s taken on cult status amongst fans, who praise the actress for her action skills and move.

In fact, there’s even been talk of a sequel, with Halle revealing what it would take for her to suit up again.

Since the movie premiered, several other actresses have donned Catwoman’s iconic catsuit, and each of them have brought something special to the role. The list notably includes the likes of Anne Hathaway and Zoe Kravitz.

You might be surprised to learn that Halle was not the first actress who almost starred in her movie.

The project was in development for years before finally going into production with her at the lead. Over that time, four other actresses were considered. The list included an Oscar-winning actress who reportedly turned it down.

Who else could have starred in a standalone Catwoman movie? We did some digging and pulled together all of the stars who were in the running.
