Another iconic Batman adversary could soon join James Gunn’s DC cinematic universe. The fans are in any case enthusiastic about this idea!
While the last few DC films haven’t exactly been a crowd-pleaser, a new perspective has fans excited. Like the Joker played by Joaquin Phoenix and Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie, it is towards another Batman villain that hopes are turning.
DC’s cinematic universe poisoned?
For some time now, adaptations of DC comics to the cinema have blown more cold than hot. In the field, the last Aquaman film with Jason Momoa in the main role was a disappointment. After leading the MCU, James Gunn has his work cut out for him to relaunch the DC Universe in theaters. We might just have another MCU veteran to come to his rescue.
Karen Gillan, who played Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, expressed her wish to move to the other superhero universe. Once again, his heart would go towards a particularly contrasting role. The actress has in fact said she would be interested in playing Poison Ivy, if the opportunity presented itself. Pamela Lilian Isley, her real first name, is an iconic villain in the Batman universe. Among her notable physical features, red hair that Karen Gillan justly shares.
Poison Quinn
In the trendy themes of the moment, Poison Ivy could also have its place perfectly. Its slightly extreme commitment to the protection of flora fits particularly well with the ecological issues of our time. In another register, the relationship she has with a certain Harley Quinn ticks other fashionable boxes.
This is also one of the elements that would greatly motivate Karen Gillan to play the character in James Gunn’s DC Universe. The opportunity also to make Margot Robbie want to reprise her iconic role? In any case, the fans seem very receptive to such a prospect. Enough to give ideas to the thinking heads at Warner Bros. and DC? Only time will tell, but the DCU would still need a big box office success.
