10 Things You Need To Know About Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4

8. Anne Hathaway Gets Her Claws Out Earlier...

Warner Bros. Pictures

Right, so apparently even that wasn't quite enough, because not content with The Vulture and The Lizard on the scene, Peter Parker was also going to be introduced to the innumerable charms of Felicia Hardy. If that name seems familiar, it's because Felicity Jones played the same character in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

To be honest, it's probably better they pinched that from the aborted Spider-Man 4 script than The Vulture. They were a little too late to capture the rising star that Raimi had in line to play Felicia, however. Apparently Anne Hathaway was all but confirmed to play the character, in whatever capacity she'd appear.

So presumably Sony wasn't the only one picking over the remains of Spider-Man 4, since in the comics Felicia Hardy becomes the feline-themed burglar Black Cat €“- basically the Marvel Universe's equivalent of Catwoman, whom she played in The Dark Knight Rises...
