6. Karen Gillan as Poison Ivy

Karen Gillan has proven time and time again that she is one of the most versatile and talented actresses in Hollywood today. From her breakout role as Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to her recent performances in films like The Party’s Just Beginning and All Creatures Here Below, Gillan has shown that she has the range and skill to tackle any role that comes her way.

The role of Poison Ivy, also known as Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, is one that requires an actress who can play both beauty and brains, and Gillan has proven that she can do just that.

Gillan is no stranger to playing characters with a dark side. In All Creatures Here Below, she played a struggling mother who is pushed to the brink of insanity. In the Party’s Just Beginning, she played a woman who is dealing with the loss of her best friend and spirals into a deep depression. Both of these performances show off her ability to play complex and nuanced characters, something that would be perfect for Poison Ivy.

Just imagine Gillan as Poison Ivy and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn as a dynamic duo on the big screen. The chemistry between the two actresses, both known for their versatility in acting, would bring a new level of excitement to the portrayal of these iconic DC villainesses. Not only would it be a thrilling experience to see Gillan and Robbie team up in a live-action film, but it could also open the door for a Gotham City Sirens adaptation, a storyline featuring Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn teaming up with Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz). Insane, right?
