When James Gunn was announced as one half of the new team behind the DCU, fans speculated about which of his favorite Marvel stars would join him at DC Studios. Karen Gillan, known for her role as Nebula in Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy movies, expressed interest in playing Poison Ivy in his new venture. Gillan reiterated her desire to take on the role, stating that she found Poison Ivy to be a fun character and even mentioned the idea of portraying her in a relationship with Harley Quinn.
In the upcoming film 'The Brave and the Bold,' which will introduce a new Batman, there is potential for Poison Ivy to make her latest live-action appearance. The evolving dynamic between Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, who have become a popular duo in recent years, could bring a fresh perspective to the DCU. Their relationship, which has been explored in various media, including the R-rated animated series 'Harley Quinn,' presents a unique opportunity for representation of the LGBTQ community in the DC universe.
While Gillan has shown enthusiasm for the role of Poison Ivy, it remains to be seen if Margot Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn in the franchise. Gunn has expressed interest in working with Robbie again, but no official confirmation has been made regarding her involvement. Gillan, meanwhile, is set to star in Adam Cooper's 'Sleeping Dogs,' scheduled for release on March 24.
