We’ll all be able to soak up her awe-inspiring dark beauty when The Dark Knight Rises finally hits our screens in July.
36-year-old Marion Cotillard has posed for a wonderfully gothic photo shoot with The Hollywood Reporter, which is scheduled to hit newsstands in June.

The French actress showed off her lengthy limbs for the Ruven Afanador spread – which appears to take inspiration from another French actress – Leslie Caron – while opening up about topics including her new comic book based movie and her experiences as a new mother. She revealed that she almost didn’t take on the role of Miranda Tate because her son Marcel was so close to being born. ’I'm like, ‘Wait a minute, his next movie is supposed to be Batman!’ And I’ve always been obsessed with Batman… I called Chris [Nolan] and said, ‘My God, I can’t do that!’ He shot back, ‘I’m writing now and nothing is impossible.’

The actress started filming Knight in June 2011, working on and off until the fall in locations including Los Angeles, New York and Pittsburgh. Marion’s character ’Tate” is an ecologically minded businesswoman who “is fascinated by Wayne Enterprises. They go through difficulties, and she wants to help provide the world clean energies. She’s a good guy.”‘

Scarlett Johansson wore a fairy-tale(ish) special Dolce & Gabbana gown.  Marion Cotillard wore a dress by Dior. Kristen Stewart is making a lot of “worst dressed” lists with her Balenciaga dress. (Hate to agree, but it is ugly).

Gwyneth Paltrow wore a mullet-style Prada dress (man, Prada was the designer of the night!). Kristen Wiig wore an orange Stella McCartney dress. Jessica Chastain is also showing up on a lost of “worst dressed” lists. She wore Louis Vuitton. Dakota Fanning wore a lavender gown by Louis Vuitton. Camille Belle wore a metallic beaded Ralph Lauren gown. Lana Del Rey wore a Joseph Altuzarra dress. Amber Heard wore a rose colored Zac Posen dress.

Nicole Kidman,  actress extrordinaire,  is most likely going to be playing film icon Grace Kelly in the new Kelly biopic, according to Variety.  Right off her Oscar nom for “Rabbit Hole,” Kidman is at the end of talks with producer Pierre-Ange Le Pogam (who is also financing the 15 million dollar slice of glam) and writer  Arash Amel. Set to direct is Olivier Dahan, visionary behind the Edith Piaf biopic “La Vie en Rose,” and “Columbiana.”

Are we excited? Yes.  Skeptical? Extremely.  Still, Kidman beat out a lot of other very talented actresses and the film- set between December 1961 and November 1962- is an interesting part of Kelly’s life.  In the movie, she navigates her post-Oscar stardom, motherhood, and being Monacan royalty.

We are VERY curious to see how this film shapes up!

Christian Bale was pictured in the middle of a punch up with Tom Hardy on the set of Batman: Dark Knight. Maybe it was Tom’s stunt double?

Tom was spotted later on shirtless and with a bandage over his nipple? Also on the set was the beautiful Inception actress Marion Cotillard, who plays Miranda Tate, A Wayne Enterprises board member who helps Bruce Wayne with his grief.

Can’t wait!

MORE PICS

Wow! That seemed fast! Marion Cotillard announced she was pregnant in January, and now, she’s delivered a beautiful French baby boy! I’ve always had a crush on her longtime boyfriend, Guillaume Canet. He starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘The Beach’ ages ago.

Inception star Marion Cotillard and her French actor-director beau Guillaume Canet are parents.

Their son, named Marcel, was born Thursday night in Paris, a source confirms to PEOPLE. “Mother and baby are fine,” says the source, who adds that Cotillard is “very happy.”

Cotillard, 35, and Canet, 38, first starred together in 2003’s Love Me If You Dare and began dating in 2007.

Though Cotillard – who won a Best Actress Oscar as singer Edith Piaf in 2007’s La Vie En Rose, and will costar with Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale in the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises – has been spotted wearing a diamond solitaire from Canet on her left hand, they are not engaged.

“They haven’t disclosed any plans concerning marriage,” a source told PEOPLE when the pregnancy was announced in January.

The couple most recently collaborated for the film, Little White Lies, which Canet directed.

Cotillard currently costars in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, which kicked off this year’s Cannes Film Festival on May 11 – Cotillard did not attend – and is opening in limited release in Los Angeles and New York on Friday.

How cute is the name Marcel!

Marion Cotillard is re-teaming with her ‘Inception’ director Christopher Nolan, in the upcoming ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.

According to French newspaper Le Parisien, the deal was made over the weekend in Paris.

Marion will be joining other ‘Inception’ cast members in the new Batman. Already attached are Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy.

No word on what role Marion will play.

Considering it was announced last month that Marion is pregnant, I’d be interested to see how this will all work out. Are they going to wait for her to give birth – then begin filming? Will they try and hide her pregnancy? Seems like odd timing.

Either way, I can’t wait!
