Zoë Kravitzis opening up about why she’s excited to step into the “iconic” role of Catwoman.
Three months afterPEOPLE confirmedthat the 30-year-old actress had been cast oppositeRobert Pattinsonin theupcomingThe Batmanreboot, she’s revealing that one reason she said “yes” to the role was because of Catwoman’s “really strong femininity.”
“I think Catwoman, Selina Kyle represents really strong femininity, and I’m excited to dive into that,” theBig Little Liesstar said, speaking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Friday,according toVariety.
“I think femininity represents power, and I think it’s a different kind of power than masculine power,” she explained. “That’s something that’s really interesting about Batman and Catwoman. I think Batman represents a very kind of masculine power, and Catwoman represents very feminine power — slightly more complicated, and softer, too.”

“I like the idea that you can be soft, you can be gentle and still be very powerful and still be very dangerous,” she added.
Kravitz continued, “I think Catwoman is an iconic character.”

“And then of course Michelle Pfeiffer — her performance has always been super inspiring to me,” she said. “It just felt iconic.” Other actresses to tackle the character includeHalle BerryandAnne Hathaway.
