5. What Side Will Black Cat Be On?
Felicity Jones had tongues wagging when she basically confirmed in an interview that she was going to be "in costume" for her role as Felicia Hardy, leading to the assumption that we would see her become Black Cat before the end of the movie. That turn of events was never realised, but Hardy was set up as Harry Osborn's assistant, and her alignment with him seems to hint that she will become the Cat at some point. In the comics, Black Cat is an anti-hero, who has been aligned with Spider-Man throughout her history, with significant similarities drawn between their relationship and that between Batman and Catwoman (who came after her Marvel counterpart). It is certainly true that that sort of portrayal would be more engaging than another villain added to the mix, but there would have to be more development in her characterisation considering where the character was left. So perhaps we're going to simply see Hardy as a PA and nothing more?
