what if? Gotham City Sirens' Poison Ivy

what if? 005

Gotham City Sirens

Poison Ivy Dream Casting

Chance of Casting = well above 75% because of her past genre role

and currently the 'it' girl

a case for Emma Stone:

+ Positives +

established name with the biggest buzz (La La Land) and around the same age as Margot Robbie

(she should at least be around the same age, 28 to 26, to lead the potential franchise together),

capable acting capabilities with a wide range and endless potential,

a previous affiliation in the superhero genre with Marvel would make her familiar with the fans.

? Main contention ?

haven't play an alluring and sexy character yet onscreen especially as a character at the highest end of the spectrum as Poison Ivy.

- Negatives -

there's a possibility of her returning to the genre but she would need to jump ship (although no actor is exclusive to one studio or another) and her previous involvement in two Warner Bros. films would put her in their good graces.

-

Chance of Casting = just above 70% because of her charm and presence

but her age though ...

a case for Jessica Chastain:

+ Positives +

a hardworking actress with a lot movies of different genres under her belt, showing her capable range,

commanding lead in most of her movies with an effective sexy (yet menacing) role in Crimson Peak,

having the looks to pull off the charm of Poison Ivy as well as her sexual presence.

? Main contention ?

no experience in the superhero genre (yet).

- Negatives -

her ability to lead a franchise would be undermined because of her age [40] although she certainly doesn't look the part.

--

Chance of Casting = set at 70% because of her exuding of sexual aura by standing alone despite her age

a case for Eva Green:

+ Positives +

typical of European (and especially French) actresses, their more open and positive body image perspective definitely led her down a certain lane judging by the unabashedly revealing roles she took from the start of her career (the Dreamers) until now (Sin City: a Dame to Kill For),

with Poison Ivy would not look out of place at all in her repertoire,

embracing her sexy image wholeheartedly and being a body-positive role model,

a rather limited line of movies considering the length of her career but her incredible versatility could be seen in how much genre she has been playing with a standout role in Penny Dreadful as well.

? Main contention ?

...

- Negatives -

again the age [36] factor would be brought up but her presence alone would negate anything negative.

---

Chance of Casting = just below 70% because of her past genre role

as well as her charm and presence

a case for Bryce Dallas Howard:

+ Positives +

another jack-of-all-trades working in a plethora of projects of different genres and sub-genres,

a previous affiliation in the superhero genre (Marvel) would make her familiar with the genre fans.

? Main contention ?

a mixed bag if the box office success of all of her movies was to be concerned.

- Negatives -

Her returning to the genre is a possibility but she would need to jump ship (the same as Emma Stone) while her age [35] would always be brought up in conversation if leading a franchise was the task.

----

Chance of Casting = as close to 60% because of her sexual nature

but her limited range though ...

a case for Megan Fox:

+ Positives +

definitely one of the sex symbols of the current generation, she's tailor made for the role as much as the role is perfect for her, with her lead role in Jennifer's Body is the perfect representation,

sexy is synonymous with her name which would make the role already defined in her image,

she is of suitable age [30].

? Main contention ?

aside from the Transformers and TMNT series, she isn't really at the top of the mountain in the moment as her position is overshadowed by the other more fresh and admittedly talented actresses.

- Negatives -

being used more for her physical appearance than her acting talent for most of her career, she would feel at home beside Margot Robbie but with the latter showing more range in her shorter career, could she gives a more nuanced performance when the movie need the trio to be vulnerable?
