Fan-Casting 7 Big Batman Villains For Ben Affleck's Solo Movies
6. Jessica Chastain As Poison Ivy
Chastain has been very vocal about the fact she doesn't want to play the girlfriend, damsel-in-distress archetype if she ever did pop up in a superhero movie, and luckily for us, Poison Ivy is about as far away from that as it gets.
The actress even looks a hell of a lot like the character; red hair, athletic build and pale skin, and would be able to flawlessly impersonate Pamela Isley without changing a single thing about her appearance.
She also played a badass warrior in The Huntsman: Winter's War, and while the movie itself was less-than impressive, it showed she's comfortable with action scenes. Poison Ivy needs that athleticism about her, since she spends most of her time wearing outfits with small amounts of fabric, seducing her enemies before moving in for the kill, and Chastain definitely has the look to pull that off.
She's also just a damn good actress, and disappears into any movie she's in - Interstellar, Mama, The Martian, Crimson Peak - with ease. She can bring the necessary looks as well as the acting chops that can make Ivy memorable for more than just her perceived 'sex symbol' status among the DC villain roster.
