The co-star of Kate Hudson in 'Bride Wars' allegedly has been approached by the fourth 'Spider-Man' movie's producers for a role which could be Black Cat.

Anne Hathaway could be turning gears from drama to superhero genre. Recently, the Academy Award-nominated actress for "Rachel Getting Married" has been linked to the much awaited "Spider-Man 4" as Deadline Hollywood reported that producers have approached her to star in the film.

What part she will take on if the story is true remains undisclosed. However, there is chance that the 27-year-old may be portraying the role of Black Cat. Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke made notes that Hathaway is "wanted for a starring role", and she refused to replace Kirsten Dunst who is set to reprise her Mary Jane Watson character.

The co-star of Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" isn't the only actress linked to the Black Cat role. Previously, Rachel McAdams had to debunk reports suggesting her as the strong contender for the part. "That's a total rumor, I have to say," she told Entertainment Weekly. Following her denial, Julia Stiles' name was up for the role.

Claiming her fame through the role of Mia Thermopolis in "The Princess Diaries", Anne Hathaway was last seen on the big screen starring opposite Kate Hudson in romantic comedy "Bride Wars". Her next feature projects include "Valentine's Day" and "Alice in Wonderland", both of which will come out in 2010.
