Felicia Hardy is one of Spider-Man's most famous supporting characters, and though her detractors may remark that she's nothing more than a rip-off of Catwoman, the reverse - technically - is actually true.
Comparisons to Batman's famous femme fatale aside, Insomniac have confirmed that Black Cat will star in the game's first piece of post-release content. In what role is still unclear, but given her usually ambiguous relationship with the wall-crawler - as well as the fact this Spider-Man has spent around seven years in the blue and red costume - players can expect the characters to have some history.
The trend of announcing DLC before the main game has even released can get a little stale, but come on, it's Black Cat! What's not to love?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
