She does NOT need to play Poison Ivy!

Karen Gillan hopes to play Poison Ivy, but only if she's in a relationship with Harley Quinn.

She’s too old and skinny. Cast a younger actress with a hotter body:

Anyway, Hollywood hates redheads and they’ve been race-switching with black and Latina actresses for years:

No doubt will happen with Ivy too. 🤨

That article is from 4 years ago, find something more up to date

Article was posted yesterday and refers to her comments from last year about DC projects Gunn is planning right NOW.

Find something else to gripe about.

Karen is not too old. Go seek help.

[–] jk90us (5375) 2 months ago

She’s almost 40.

No one wants an old flat-chested woman trying to play a hot super villain.

They need an actress around same age as Margot Robbie (if they keep using her) who is early 30s.

If they dump Robbie, cast two actresses mid to late 20s. Robbie was 26 when she started playing Harley.

Glad I could help you.

Needs someone more curvaceous for Ivy. She's supposed to have that 1940s Rita Hayworth thing going on.

Exactly!
