One day after it was reported that Zoe Kravitz will play Catwoman in the newest Batman flick, a Catwoman from the recent cinematic past, Anne Hathaway is congratulating the actress on landing the “role of a lifetime.”
Hathaway — who starred as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in the 2012 Christopher Nolan film “The Dark Knight Rises” — went on Facebook on Tuesday, writing: “The biggest congrats to Zoë Kravitz on landing the role of a lifetime.”
“Well, one life anyway. … Enjoy the ride, Selina 💋” she cheekily added alongside a photo of Kravitz.
