Big Little Lies in California.The actress, who is currently promoting The Batman in which she stars as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, said that she “felt a little uncomfortable” shooting the HBO series in Monterey because it’s “such a white area”.“There were a few moments where I felt a little uncomfortable because it is such a white area,” she told The Observer. “Just weird racist people in bars and things like that.”Kravitz was one of the few actors of colour in the show, which has so far run for two seasons between 2017 and 2019.

She may be the star of the new Batman movie, but once upon a time, Zoë Kravitz was denied a role in the franchise because of her skin colour.
