Halle Berry would love to play Catwoman again.
Halle Berry as Catwoman
The 58-year-old actress portrayed the DC Comics character in the heavily criticised 2004 eponymous flick which also starred Sharon Stone, Benjamin Bratt and Lambert Wilson and was directed by Pitof.
Despite the blockbuster being panned, Halle would be happy to suit up as the character again if the opportunity arose.
Speaking to the Canadian Press at the premiere of 'The Union', she said: "I would bring back Catwoman, if I really got a chance to. I think what happened to her the first time around was unfair.
“I think she's way underrated, and I would love to give it another shot.”
Recently, Berry reflected on the film for its 20th anniversary, and criticised its story for being “a bit soft”.
She told Entertainment Weekly: “I always thought the idea of Catwoman saving women from a face cream felt a bit soft. All the other superheroes save the world; they don't just save women from cracked faces.
“I always knew that was a soft superhero plight, but at that time in my career, I didn't have the agency I have today or belief that I could challenge that, so I went along with it.”
While she “didn’t love” the backlash to the film, the ‘X-Men’ star emphasised the negativity surrounding the movie didn’t “derail” her, and added she was able to see the funny side of things when she received the Razzie Award for the Worst Actress in 2005.
She explained: “I didn’t want to be casual about it, but I went and collected that Razzie, laughed at myself, and kept it moving.
“A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn’t love it, but it wasn’t going to stop my world or derail me from doing what I love to do. ”
Although she could laugh off most of the criticisms, Halle - who played mutant superhero Storm in the 'X-Men' movies - is annoyed that "to this day, it’s [her] failure”.
She lamented: “I know I can carry it. I still have a career 20 years later. It’s just part of my story. “That’s okay, and I’ve carried other failures and successes. People have opinions, and sometimes they’re louder than others. You just have to keep moving.”
