Rachel McAdams is saying that she absolutely has NOT been cast in Spider Man 4 in the role of Black Cat.

This would be a pretty definitive response, all right…if it weren’t for one critical problem. The rumor is that she AUDITIONED.  This is what she had to say:

“That’s a total rumor, I have to say,” going on to back up the story with a super-Canadian anecdote: “I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, ‘I just heard you’re doing Spider-Man 4.‘ And I said, ‘Really? No one told me!’ It’s not true.”

There have been a lot of rumors swirling around the ether and the blogosphere alike about what’s going down with Spider Man 4. Everybody from Bruce Campbell to random toddlers has been mentioned.  And now with Rachel McAdams possibly stepping in to play Black Cat (unless what she says is actually true), well, that’s just a little more fuel on the fire.  You know we’ll be keeping an eye on this one!
