Actress, singer, and director Zoe Kravitz is speaking candidly about her experiences in Hollywood and the harsh reality of rejection.
Before she landed the role of Selina Kyle (Catwoman) in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Kravitz was underutilized, taking on supporting or side characters in films like Divergent, and X-Men First Class.

Kravitz tried to audition for Selena Kyle in 2012 for The Dark Knight Rises, and was told she was “too urban.”
“I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” she says, anxious not to impugn the reputation of an award-winning director. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind, or a casting director’s assistant,” she says. “Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn’t able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment.”
Things began looking up for her when she landed a role in the HBO Max series Big Little Lies, in which she co-stars with Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep. However, by the time she finally landed the role of Catwoman, the actress reports, “My phone was blowing up more than any birthday I’ve ever had.”
Now that she’s solidified herself among the A-list, Kravitz is turning to directing. She will direct and Channing Tatum will star in Pussy Island, a genre thriller that Kravitz wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. Bruce Cohen, Kravitz,
