The recent news that a Clayface movie from Midnight Mass director Mike Flanagan is currently being discussed at Warner Bros. has been followed up by a rumor relating to two other potential Batman-related spin-offs.
The r/DCEUleaks subreddit - which has been known to share accurate info in the past - claims that Scarecrow and Poison Ivy solo films are also in development.
The Ivy project is said to be inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's gothic short story, Rappaccini's Daughter, which focuses on a medical researcher in Padua who grows a garden of poisonous plants. He brings up his daughter to tend the plants, and she becomes resistant to the poisons, but in the process she herself becomes poisonous to others.
It remains to be seen if these potential projects ever move forward, of course, but if the Poison Ivy film does materialize, The Mandalorian star Katee Sackhoff (Bo-Katan) would jump at the chance to play the lead.
"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 told ComicBook.com when asked if she'd be open to a role in Flanagan's Clayface film.
The Battlestar Galactica alum is no stranger to the character, having voiced Pamela Isley in the animated Batman: The Long Halloween movies.
What do you make of these rumors? Do you think Sackhoff would be a good pick to play Poison Ivy in live-action? Be sure to drop us a comment down below.
