Fan-Casting 7 Big Batman Villains For Ben Affleck's Solo Movies

3. Rebecca Ferguson As Catwoman

Rebecca Ferguson surprised us all with her breakout role in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, displaying equal amounts of charm, confidence and action ability, so it's probably a case of when, not if, she gets cast in a comic-book movie.

And she'd be completely perfect as Catwoman. She's basically played the role before anyway; her character in the aforementioned Tom Cruise vehicle, the feisty Ilsa Faust, was as fine a mirror of Selina Kyle as you're likely to see. She played the field, kicked some ass, took no prisoners and didn't rely on anyone else to get the job done for her.

And that's exactly what Catwoman needs to be; unwaveringly confident, deadly and focused. Ferguson carries an intelligence and power that would definitely give Batfleck a run for his money, and we hope she's in the running come casting time.

Oh, and did we mention that she's rocked Catwoman's black, skin-tight outfit before? Check out her biker outfit from Rogue Nation.
