However, the actress is now taking to social media to correct the record. In a March 8 Instagram Story, Zo, 33, stated, “I was NOT told I was too urban to portray Catwoman in the Dark Knight.” “At the time, it would have made no sense for me to be considered for that post.” “I wanted to AUDITION for a little part in the film and was told (I’m not sure who said it, but that’s how it was stated to me) that they weren’t going ‘urban’ on the part,” she explained further. This is something I used to hear all the time 20 years ago—it was a different era.”
During the interview, Kravitz also revealed to that “At one point, all of the screenplays were about the first Black woman to bake a muffin or something similar. Even if those are vital topics to share, I also want to expand my horizons as an artist.” The Batman is now showing in theatres.
