10 Actors Who Should Play Ben Affleck’s Batman Villains
2. Jane Levy As Harley Quinn
Other contenders: Alison Brie, Amanda Seyfried, Kat Dennings, Melanie Lynskey Among Batmans illustrious rogues gallery, another villain who has yet to appear in a live action film is the Jokers girlfriend and sidekick, Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel (better known simply as Harley Quinn). Harley is completely devoted to the Joker, totally oblivious to his psychotic nature and his obvious lack of affection for her. And, of course, Harley also has a psychotic nature that should put Gotham on full alert. Jane Levy is best known for her role as Tessa Altman on the ABC comedy series Suburgatory. However, last year Levy starred in Fede Alvarez's reboot/remake/sequel to Sam Raimi's Evil Dead and blew us all away. In the film she plays Mia Allen; a young woman who is meeting up with her friends at an isolated cabin in the woods so they can help her get over a crippling heroin addiction. Things take a gruesome turn when Mia becomes possessed by an evil spirit (via a very persistent demon tree) and begins to cause havoc. With Evil Dead, Levy has now shown her versatility as an actress and now seems to be the time for her to travel back to the dark side. Her scenes in Evil Dead as the possessed Mia are a great example of how Levy could pull off playing the Joker's main squeeze. There have been recent rumors that English fashion model and socialite Cara Delevingne may be up for the role of Harley in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. However, we hope these are only rumors. She definitely has the looks but her acting abilities are far from solidified.
