And the Black Cat from Spiderman 4 is...

... Rachel McAdams! Or is it Romola Garai? The casting director is having nightmares because he can't make up his mind over which of those two is hotter fit for Spiderman 4!

The said character is question is 'Black Cat', the anti-hero/love conflict of Spiderman (Tobey Maguire). McAdams is already an established and well known American actress, was recently seen in the thriller 'State of Play' and the schmaltzy 'The Time Traveller's Wife'.

Romola Garai is a 27-year-old British actress who starred in Amazing Grace, The Other Man and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. In the latst issue of The Observer, Garai shared the details about what she was up to last week, which included a video audition for the latest Spidey:

Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen.” This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself “on tape” for a part in Spider-Man 4. This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it’s important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren’t going to win.

Black Cat first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #194, published in July 1979. While the character is sometimes confused as a copy of DC Comics’ Catwoman, the character actually predates the look of the Batman villain by almost a decade. McAdams and Gerai do look similar. Who do you think should play Black Cat?
