Rachel McAdams Won't Appear in Spider-Man 4

We reported last week that Rachel McAdams was set to sharpen her claws in an anticipated superhero sequel, but it seems that's not the case. Entertainment Weekly recently spoke with McAdams who denied the rumors that she was trying out for Black Cat in Spider-Man 4.

"That's a total rumor, I have to say," McAdams said. "I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, 'I just heard you're doing Spider-Man 4.' And I said, 'Really? No one told me!' It's not true."

The site also reported that a rep for Sony chalked the story up to an "Internet rumor" as well. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Black Cat character won't appear in Spider-Man 4, so be sure to stay tuned and we'll keep you up to date on any news from this seqeul.

Spider-Man 4 will begin principal photography in March 2010 and is set for a May 5, 2011 release.

Spider-man 4 is in development .

    it's time to CHANGE the direction of SPIDEY is going. the first one was campy but unique. Made SUPERHERO films a marketable, The second was actually the best, edgy, focus on 2 main story lines, 1 real villain. The 3rd horrendous to put it mildly.
    -
    FOX should close the trilogy and go in a COMPLETELY new retelling of the character. New cast, director, writer etc!
    This will help the creativity on and the character fresh.
    -
    It worked so well for BATMAN and even that series SHOULD end with the 3rd NOLAN film. The 4,5,6 batmans should be COMPLETELY different cast/production from the current
    -
    SPIDEY 4 will blow chunks.But since SPIDEY 3 made a killing at the box office, this will follow in the SAME annoyingly pathetic character lines.

    Stiles isnt my choice. I wouldnt even begin to consider her. I dont know what Marvel is thinking of by having her audition for the part. Im surprised no dumbasses have said Megan Fox for the role.

    I'm in agreement with Cripple, Mila Kunis would be good or at least better. I still don't think Black Cat is essential or even necessary to this movie though. Just more of a meh factor to me. And Julia Styles is good but not for a superhero movie.

    Mila is 10x better than Julia Styles (ew).

    So did Movieweb say this was a rumor cause it worded as a real casting decision. Not cool.

    I am going to have to go with what Newkill suggested on the first McAdams/black cat thread. Mila Kunis.

    I agree with artkid04. Elisha Cuthbert would be a great Black Cat.
