10 Actors Who Could Play Poison Ivy In Matt Reeves' The Batman Movie

10. Rose Leslie

There are a great many reasons why Rose Leslie would be an excellent option for this role, and one of the first is that she ticks the red-headed box. Additionally, she has a wonderfully severe face that makes her look dangerous whilst still very alluring, which would work wonders for Poison Ivy's mixture of danger and charisma.

However, in addition to her well-suited looks, Leslie also thrives on her ability to play likeable yet stern characters. This is best evidenced by her work as Ygritte in Game of Thrones, where she played an outspoken and harsh wildling who still managed to charm Jon Snow - and audiences - with her dry humour and playfulness. These qualities make her equal parts seductive and frightening.

All of these factors would combine to make her a solid choice for the part. Plus, her moderate but not overwhelming star power would give Reeves the ability to carve her from the ground up and paint an entirely new, villainous perception of this talented actor.
