Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Warner Bros.' new project featuringHarley Quinn(Margot Robbie) and a number of other DC female characters will be calledGotham City Sirens, withSuicide SquaddirectorDavid Ayertaking the helm. It was also confirmed that Harley Quinn will be joined by iconic DC female villains such as Poison Ivy and Catwoman, although those characters have yet to be cast. While it isn’t known when DC and Warner Bros. will make an official announcement about the casting for these two characters, a well-renowned artist has debuted two pieces of fan artwork that shows what two actresses would look like as Catwoman and Poison Ivy.
ArtistBoss Logictook to Twitter this week to give his fans a holiday treat, with new artwork that fan-castsEmma StoneasPoison IvyandEliza Dushkuas Catwoman. This artwork comes just a few weeks after Boss Logic debuted artwork that showed whatMegan Foxmight look like as Poison Ivy. It remains unclear if Warner Bros. is actively casting for the Poison Ivy and/or Catwoman roles, but there is another actress who has expressed interest in the Poison Ivy role.
Mr. RobotstarStephanie Corneliussenput herself out there on Twitter earlier this month, asking, “Can I be Poison Ivy??” It remains to be seen if the studio has any interest in casting the actress, or if they are considering Boss Logic’s picks ofMegan FoxandEmma Stone. The studio hasn’t set a release date forGotham City Sirensat this time, and it remains to be seen when production may begin. It was revealed, though, thatDavid Ayertook onGotham City Sirensahead ofSuicide Squad 2, because this project is more further along in development than theSuicide Squadsequel, so perhaps production may begin sometime next year.
This project came to be almost entirely through the willpower ofMargot Robbieherself. After she landed the role of Harley Quinn inSuicide Squad, the actress reportedly did a deep dive into the comics to research her character, and during that process, she became interested in many of the other DC female characters who are showcased in the Comics. She brought on an unidentified writer herself to develop the project, before taking the project to Warner Bros. The studio then quickly picked up the project.
Gotham City Sirenswas a recentDC Comicstitle that focused on the trio of Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy working as a team to do their own bidding. It sounds like this new movie will be taking its cues from that book.David Ayerwill be directingGotham City Sirensfrom a script byTomb Raiderreboot andSherlock Holmes 3screenwriterGeneva Robertson-Dworet. Earlier reports revealed thatChristina Hodsonwould be writing the movie, but it remains unclear ifGeneva Robertson-Dworetwill be starting from scratch, or if she’ll incorporate elements fromChristina Hodson’s draft. Both writers were part of theTransformerswriters room that generated ideas for that franchise’s sequels and spin-offs. While we wait for more onGotham City Sirens, take a look at Boss Logic’s fan artwork below.
