Rachel McAdams and Romola Garai have been linked to the role of superheroine Black Cat in Spider-Man 4.

According to website Mania, The Notebook star McAdams is the frontrunner for the part of Felicia Hardy, a former girlfriend of Spider-Man who is an accomplished cat burglar.

However, the role appears to still be up for grabs. British actress Romola Garai (Glorious 39) revealed in her Observer column that she had recorded an audition for the movie.

"[I] put myself 'on tape' for a part in Spider-Man 4," she wrote. "This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it's important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren't going to win."

Spider-Man 4 will see stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst return to the franchise under the direction of Sam Raimi. The movie is scheduled to open on May 5, 2011.
