10 Perfect Fantasy Castings For Upcoming Comic Book Movies
4. Bryce Dallas Howard As Poison Ivy
With Batman set for yet another (soft) reboot and Harley Quinn clearly a character DC are planning to build off, we’re surely going to see Poison Ivy sooner rather than later.
Birds Of Prey might come a little bit too soon for her, but a post credit scene in that, The Batman or Suicide Squad could set her up for Harley’s third movie well. With the two of them married in the comics now and Margot Robbie’s Harley taking the world by storm, DC will likely want to give Harley her own host of supporting stars.
Bryce Dallas Howard was the red hair already, but that’s not the only thing casting directors will be looking for. You feel the likes of Natalie Dormer (again), Saoirse Ronan and Evan Rachel Wood could all be in with a shout too.
Howard is probably best known for one of her worst characters, with Claire Dearing in Jurassic World flat and one note throughout. However, Black Mirror, The Help and even The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond (in which she’s the only good thing) showcase her abilities much better.
She needs a bit of comic book redemption for Spider-Man 3’s Gwen Stacy too.
