An actress with a very famous surname will follow in the footsteps of Anne Hathaway and Michelle Pfeiffer to play the iconic Catwoman.

Actress and singer Zoe Kravitz will play Catwoman in the newest Batman flick, according to multiple reports.

Per Variety and The Wrap, Kravtiz will star opposite Robert Pattinson — the Twilight series star who’ll play the titular hero — in the Matt Reeves-directed The Batman.

Filming is slated to begin later this year or in early 2020. The Batman will be in theatres in June 2021, Variety reports.

Pattinson took over as the Caped Crusader after Ben Affleck stepped away from the role following Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as The Justice League.
