Halle Berry Is Open to Directing a ‘Catwoman’ Sequel
Berry starred in the 2004 film, which flopped at the box office.
Twenty years ago, Catwoman premiered in theaters, starring Halle Berry as the titular character. The movie was famously a box office flop but nonetheless, two decades later, Berry says she’s interested in seeing Catwoman return in a sequel.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry reflected on the film’s resurgence amid a contemporary audience.
“What I’m happy about is that the children have found it now on the internet, and they love it,” Berry said. “So, it’s so vindicating. Because now they’re saying it’s cool and what the heck was everybody’s problem with it.”
Asked if she would reprise her role as Catwoman, the actress replied, “maybe…if I could direct it. Maybe.”
It wasn’t the first time Berry has spoken about directing Catwoman 2. While promoting her directorial debut Bruised in 2021, she spoke about the potential of reimagining the Catwoman narrative and having the character save the world, similar to the typical superhero narrative.
