Rumors are beginning to circulate that Sam Raimi and co. are auditioning actresses for the role of Felicia Hardy or otherwise known as The Black Cat.

The frontrunner so far seems to be Rachel McAdams, who we’ll all get to see in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.

Atonement actress Romola Garai has auditioned for a role in Spider-Man 4. Here is an extract from her column in The Observer that confirms she read for, well, a part…

“Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen.” This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself “on tape” for a part in Spider-Man 4. This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it’s important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren’t going to win.”

Question is, was she reading for role of The Black Cat?
