There is a reason that this has been a long-desired fan casting for such an iconic character - it's perfect!

Jessica Chastain is one of the best actresses in Hollywood. The two-time Academy Award nominee is one of the sure-fire bets of a quality performance in the business right now, and looking at the string of films she has been in, it's not hard to see why.

Zero Dark Thirty, IT: Chapter Two, The Martian, Interstellar, The Help, Molly's Game, to name but a few. Chastain has been a staple of the film industry for the last decade, but her forays into tentpole blockbusters hasn't always been great.

After forgettable roles in The Huntsmen: Winter's War and X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Chastain deserves a much better place in a big comic book franchise. Poison Ivy is that place.

One of Batman's most infamous villains, Poison Ivy and her plant army have been a staple of the comics for years, and she is a firm fan favourite due to her fiendish plans, her love of Mother Earth, and her seductive ways. Chastain could certainly use her breathtaking looks and acting chops to really bring Ivy to life.
