Karen Gillian wants to play Poison Ivy in Batman Reboot

"I always thought that Poison Ivy was really fun," Gillan said during the interview. "Honestly, if James asked me to play an alien that sits in the background of a shot and doesn't talk, I would say yes [laughs]. Because working with him has been one of the great joys of my career so far."

Gunn is already planning to bring the cast of The Guardians of the Galaxy over to DC. The director has been recently appointed as co-CEO of DC Studios. However, the director has been criticized for planning to take actors from the Marvel Cinematic Studios over to DC.

"This cast are like my family," Gunn told Empire Magazine. "I cannot tell you how close I am to Chris Pratt and Pom [Klementieff] and Dave [Bautista] and Zoe [Saldaña] and Karen [Gillan]. But I also know I will work again with all those people individually again." He adds, laughing: "Probably at my other job."

Other than Gillan, Mandalorian star Katee Sackhoff is also interested in the role of Poison Ivy. She previously starred as the villain in Batman: The Long Halloween.

"I can't quite say that I would sell my firstborn, because she's quite special to me [laughs]. But I would like sh*t twice and die to play Poison Ivy," Sackhoff shared.

Andy Muschietti is rumored to direct The Brave and the Bold. The movie is still in early development and no cast or release date has been announced.
