Who could play Ivy today?


If this movie were made today what actress today could play Poison Ivy?

I have my own ideas but I'm interested in hearing what other people have to say.

Emma Roberts, if they go for a campy route since she plays a somewhat villainous role on the horror-comedy Scream Queens. Also, her character on the show is very sexual and talks about her vagina a lot, so that could translate well to Ivy.

Jennifer Lawrence, if they want a somewhat more serious action-oriented Ivy since Lawrence can play crazy and angry while still looking attractive well. Also she kicks ass in the Hunger Games and X-Men movies and appears sexual in many of her roles. Plus, she looks like she could be Uma Thurman's daughter. Also, I can't find the links but there is a scene at the diner in Silver Linings Playbook when she says "I'm just the crazy slut with a dead husband" and laughs in a way that sounds just like Ivy's laugh after she says, "that's why every Poison Ivy action comes complete with him."

In addition, both actresses could believably pull off the studious conservative look of Pamela Isley and the hot redhead latex-clad Poison Ivy perfectly.

Jessica Chastain has to be the number one choice for the part.

It needs to be a natural redhead who can projects smarts and sexiness.

Jessica definitely.

Also Bryce Dallas Howard.

Amy Adams maybe.

Amy Adams is already Lois Lane in this Cinematic Universe.

What about Bridget Regan, who the previous poster suggested and provided picture comparisons with Ivy for?

I know. I was just saying that I think she'd be a good Poison Ivy.

Yes. I've thought she would make a good Poison Ivy too. She is one of the most gorgeous actresses I've ever seen.

I don't think it would be a good idea to cast the same actress in two different big parts within the same Cinematic Universe.

It reminds me of how Kim Basinger wanted to play Catwoman in Batman Returns after she'd just played Vicki Vale in its predecessor. How would that have worked? 

That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I just think Amy Adams would be a good choice to play Poison Ivy. Not necessarily in any specific Batman universe.
