The actress previouslyjokedthat her Catwoman character deserved a second chance after the overwhelmingly negative initial reaction to the film.
“Each story builds on the next. It’s like that old saying goes: behind every Black Panther is a great black Catwoman!” she said while presenting an award at the 2018 the GLAAD Media Awards. “You know, I’ve gotten a really bad rap for this role, and I think Catwoman deserves another god—- chance, don’t you?”
