Kate Beckinsale

Speculations are rife that Kate Beckinsale would love to play CATWOMAN in the next BATMAN movie. Kate is determined to take more action oriented roles. After “Underworld” had a massive success that put Beckinsale on a firm action footing,the actress wants to enjoy her actions!

According to internet gossip, Angelina and Kate are fighting for the contender’s role for the upcoming Batman movie. Kate had earlier said that she would take up the role if she was cast opposite Christian Bale in a new film about the Caped Crusader. She said she could agree upon her role as the villainess in a follow-up to this year’s (08) The Dark Knight only if she chanced upon a role opposite Christian Bale.

She tells MTV.com, “Absolutely, that would be awesome. I’d love to do that.” She explained why she was more keen to star in action oriented films and her career did not take on full on even after successfully playing a vampire’s role in “Underworld”. “One of the things I’ve done wrong with my career is not have a massive game plan for it. I was very surprised to ever find myself even considered for an action movie. I’m like the literary, academic geek who’s not very good at sports, so it was amazingly shocking that anyone would ever do that. I like to be surprised,” Kate added.
