Kate Beckinsale Wants Catwoman Role In 'Dark Knight' Sequel


British actress Kate Beckinsale would love to play Catwoman in the next Batman movie - because she is determined to take on more action roles.
Speculation has been growing in recent months over which actress will take on the role of the villainess in a follow-up to this year's The Dark Knight, with internet gossips suggesting that Angelina Jolie is the main contender for the part.
But Beckinsale is adamant that if she was offered the chance to star opposite Christian Bale in a new film about the Caped Crusader, she would definitely agree.
She tells MTV.com, "Absolutely, that would be awesome. I'd love to do that."
And Beckinsale adds that she is keen to add to her action movie portfolio, because starring in the Underworld vampire movie franchise gave her the confidence to tackle more physical films.
She adds, "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."

Eddie Murphy Denies Riddler Role

A representative for Eddie Murphy's denied the actor will take on the role of The Riddler in a new Batman movie.
Earlier this week a British tabloid newspaper claimed the Beverly Hills Cop star would take on the villainous quizmaster character in the latest outing in the Caped Crusader franchise.
The part was made famous by Jim Carrey in 1995's Batman Forever. And the publication also suggested actor Shia LaBeouf would play young crime fighter Robin, alongside returning Batman Christian Bale. But Murphy's representative has refuted the claims, telling Access Hollywood the reports are "not true."
The movie, tentatively titled Gotham, is slated for a 2010 release.
