Warner Bros. is pressing on with the DC Extended Universe, bad reviews be damned. Recently, the studio firmed up their plans for the rumored Harley Quinn spinoff, declaring thatDavid Ayerwould direct the movie and that it would be calledGotham City Sirens. It also looks like Poison Ivy will be appearing in the movie and if recent rumors turn out to be true,Megan Foxcould be playing her. Now we know what that could look like.
Artist BossLogic recently posted a photo to hisTwitteraccount showing his personal vision for whatMegan Foxcould look like as the famed DC Comics villain. This image ofPoison Ivyis apparently one that he did some time ago, but decided to touch it up given the recent rumors. The response from fans online has been very poor in regards toMegan Foxpossibly playing the part, but if this art proves anything it is that she could definitely at least pull off the look for the character, which is a pretty big part of it. Here is what BossLogica had to say about it.
“Lighting Fix - I happen to love @meganfox so I modified my IVY piece to have fun with the rumours :) #GothamCitySirens”
Back in 2014,Megan Foxexpressed interest in playing either Poison Ivy or Red Sonja and she is a known comic book fan. Aside from that evidence, Bleeding Cool reported that she has been ordering someDC Comicsrecently that seem very timely. According to them, she orderedHarley Quinn#14, #17 and #38. The first two issues featured early appearances ofHarley Quinnand Poison Ivy together and #38 has to do with her relationship with the Gotham City police. Given the recent announcement ofGotham City Sirens, the books do seem oddly timely, so the rumors have been swirling in recent days.
The last time we saw Poison Ivy in a live-action setting was nearly two decades ago whenUma Thurmanplayed her in the much-malignedBatman & Robin. To say that fans hate that movie would be a dramatic understatement, so seeing a new version of Poison Ivy on screen is something that has been a long time coming andGotham City Sirensseems like a good way to do it. The project came into being becauseMargot Robbiepretty much willed it into existence. After landing the role of Harley Quinn inSuicide Squad, she reportedly fell in love with other female DC Comics characters such as Poison Ivy, so she hired a screenwriter on her own to work on the script. Warner Bros. decided to scoop up the project and now the movie is reportedly on the fast track. In order to do that, they are going to need to cast a new Catwoman and Poison Ivy.
Fans, at least for the moment, may not like the idea ofMegan Foxas Poison Ivy and her comic book movie track record makes that understandable. She starred in both of the newMichael BayproducedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesmovies as well as the failedJonah Hex. Still, this art may be enough to convince some fans it could work.
