10 Villains We Want To See In The DC Extended Universe (And Who Should Play Them)

Karen Gillan – Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy is another major Batman foe in need of another big screen adaptation, in order for us to finally forget about Uma Thurman’s OTT portrayal in 1997’s Batman & Robin.

The most likely place the plant-loving temptress will turn up is in David Ayer’s Gotham City Sirens, which will see Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn team up with Catwoman and Ivy, her BFF from the comics. Alternatively, if that falls through, there’s always Suicide Squad 2 or any of those other Harley-centric projects.

Ivy is one of the most hotly-contested roles on this list, as every DC fan seems to have their own pick for who should play Dr. Pamela Isley. One name we would like to throw in the hat, though, is Karen Gillan. The actress definitely has the looks to pull off the part and she’s proven in Guardians of the Galaxy that she can portray a fun, effective villain. She’s also a similar age to Robbie, which would could help build up their chemistry.

The only issue is her busy schedule with Marvel, but it’s possible Gillan’s character Nebula will be killed off in Avengers 4, thus giving her time to join another franchise.
