Zoe Kravitz has received encouragement from Michelle Pfeiffer for her role as Catwoman.
The 'Big Little Lies' star is playing the role of Gotham City burglar Selina Kyle in Matt Reeves' upcoming take on the DC Comics superhero tale – which will star Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader – and she’s revealed she consulted with the veteran actress, who previously portrayed the character in ‘Batman Returns’, about the film.
Speaking to Total Film magazine, she said: “I've met Michelle Pfeiffer several times, but we did talk about Catwoman when I saw her in January. I told her I was nervous but she was really encouraging.”
While Zoe is keen to put her own stamp on the character, she also wants to pay tribute to Michelle’s “amazing” work.
She added: “I want to make the character my own, although I want to respect her, so it felt important to acknowledge the amazing things she did with the iconic role."
