It follows news that Michael Keaton will be reprising his Batman role in DC’s upcoming Flash movie which starts production in April.
And now that Pfeiffer has expressed interest in returning as Catwoman, fans will no doubt be hopeful that Warner Bros. will reach out to the Grease 2 actress and try and make a cameo happen.
The Flash project will introduce the concept of the DC multiverse, with different versions of the well known characters on screen together, including both Keaton and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne.
In August, director Andy Muschietti explained how it was going to work.

Talking to Vanity Fair, he said: ‘This movie is a bit of a hinge in the sense that it presents a story that implies a unified universe where all the cinematic iterations that we’ve seen before are valid,’ he said. ‘It’s inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you’ve seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse.’
Other actresses who have played Catwoman over the years include Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises in 2012) and Halle Berry (Catwoman, 2004).
More recently, Zoe Kravitz is set to play Catwoman in The Batman, set for release in 2022. Robert Pattinson will be taking on the role of The Caped Crusader.
Meanwhile, it’s been revealed Pfeiffer turned down the chance to star in The Silence of the Lambs.
The actress passed on the chance to play Clarice Starling in the iconic 1991 horror movie – with the part going to Jodie Foster – and confessed that she was ‘trepidatious’ about the ‘evil’ featured in the acclaimed flick.

Michelle said: ‘With Silence of the Lambs, I was trepidatious. There was such evil in that film. The thing I most regret is missing the opportunity to do another film with Jonathan (Demme).’
The Ant-Man and the Wasp star added that she was uncomfortable with the end of the movie as ‘evil ruled out’.
Michelle told The New Yorker magazine: ‘It was that evil won in the end, that at the end of the film evil ruled out. I was uncomfortable with that ending. I didn’t want to put that out in the world.’
