Julia Stiles is a Superhero, but the question is which one'

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with bit of an interview that Julia Stiles recently gave to Cosmo. I haven't really seen this brought up online (although I must admit I've been a little distracted lately by the birth of a friend's baby), so I thought I'd share it with you... I'll meet you down below!

Harry,

This is HarMONICA with some news from a mag on Julia Stiles next movies.

Cosmo have an interview with Julia Stiles who talked about her latest film and what it's like to play a princess etc, but she talks a bit about a bourne identity sequel and a new film she looks like doing playing a superhero. it doesn't say who or what, but we could guess. The Bourne Identity sequal is called 'Bourne Supremacy'.

What's your next movie about?

It's called The Bourne Supremacy, and it's a million miles away from The Prince and Me. Basically, it's the sequel to The Bourne Identity and I'm playing the character of Nicolette again. You don't really know whether she's good or bad, so it's definitely an intriguing angle to play. We just wrapped. I think it will be such an exciting film. They're already talking about doing a third one.

And you had the chance to work with her in Mona Lisa Smile.

I loved working with Kirsten. She's such a grounded young woman, and has been in this game for years. There is nothing she can't teach you. Going to work with Kirsten, Julie and Maggie each day was very, very easy. A real joy. I'd love to do something with her - or any of the cast, for the matter - again.

Kirsten Dunst did Spider-Man. Whens your comic based film due?

I'd love to do one. The one thing I've tried to do with my career is be open to any kind of role and acting experience. Like a buffet, I'm always up for trying a bit of everything. I like comedies, I like romance, but I also like a great thriller - and that's why I jumped at the chance to do the Bourne Identity. What they're doing with these comic books and turning them into films is just magical. They've got great special effects, but they've also got heart - and that's why actors want in. Spider-Man really nailed it. If they hadn't been as good up till now I probably wouldn't even be interested in the comic film I'm looking at doing.

Which one is it?

You can't get that out of me. Let's just say I get to play the hero, not the damsel in distress. Isn't that every gals dream? Can't let the men have all the glory can we.

What does the film-maker believe you'd bring to the role?

Good Question. Blonde Hair I think (Laughs).

2+2 = Supergirl!! It sounds like that to me. I haven't heard much about a sequel to Bourne Identity either, so hope that is news!

HARmonica.

Think Supergirl, huh? I don't think so. Blonde hair, early 20s... Since they're moving forward with the Ultimates version of FANTASTIC FOUR (click here for IGN's follow up with Avi's confirmation), I'd put my money on her being The Invisible Woman... or, more aptly, The Invisible Girl. For a young Sue Storm, Stiles isn't a bad choice... Is there a more obvious choice of a female superhero that Stiles could be taking on that I am missing? Let me know below!
