5 WoC Actresses Who Would Be a Purrfect Catwoman Opposite Robert Pattinson's Batman!

1. Lupita Nyong’o

Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o already proved she can play a badass warrior in Marvel’s Black Panther as T’Challa’s friend, Nakia. Her acting is unparalleled, as evidenced by her Academy Award win, and she has earned the right to take on Selina Kyle. We already know she can fight, not only thanks to Black Panther, but also Jordan Peele’s Us. The only potential issue with her casting would be that she portrays a character which exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Catwoman lives in the DC Universe. Could the bitter rivalry which exists between the two companies keep Nyong’o from ever being cast as Selina Kyle?
