GOTHAM's Morena Baccarin Is Ready To Make Our Dreams Come True By Playing Catwoman Or Poison Ivy

Fans have been imagining Firefly's Morena Baccarin in a variety of superhero roles over the years and while she's starred in a few comic book adaptations, the actress has her sights set on some big names.

Morena Baccarin first came to the attention of fans when she stole the show in Firefly and big screen follow-up Serenity. Since then, she's received a great deal of acclaim for starring in the first few seasons of Homeland and shown up in a number of popular comic book adaptations, including Gotham, The Flash, and Deadpool. However, when will we get to see the actress finally take on a leading role?

That remains to be seen but during a recent interview, the Deadpool 2 star was quizzed on whether or not she'd like to play a superhero on the big screen. Interestingly, Baccarin said that she's not particularly interested in being a hero and instead has her eye on a few classic Batman villains. 

The interview is in Portuguese but the gist of her remarks is that she would be interested in suiting up as either Poison Ivy or Catwoman. Baccarin would be perfect for either one of those characters and they're villains fans would no doubt love to see the actress play; after all, she certainly looks the part, has the sexy swagger those two are known 
for, and is extremely talented. What do you think?

Baccarin is great, but watching her get the most irritatingly boring characterization for two seasons on Gotham really sapped my enthusiasm for her in any other role.

And, as always, this kind of "actor could play X or Y or Z" laundry list fancasting just irritates me. These are different roles with different demands, and (especially if you're doing them on screen together) they need to be distinctive from each other, or it's just big budget cosplay.

If Maria Hill wasn't already cast (and dreadfully boring in the MCU), Baccarin was my dreamcast for that role...

I'd take it.

She'd be great as either, and would work well with Margot Robbie to be honest.

Well if she were to ever get the role she’d have to take an absence from Gotham in order to shoot.

She's the worst part of Gotham. ...Her character that is. If it means she leaves Gotham then sure. She deserves better than that horrible Lee character.

She is an absolutely terrible, untalented, hack actress and if it's anyone's dream to cast her in anything it's only because they're 14 years old

I still can’t believe they are making a Birds of Prey movie starring Harley Quinn instead of a Gotham City Sirens movie. That movie would introduce another fan favorite female villain. And it would leave Birds of Prey free for Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress in the future. Did Matt Reeves call dibs on Catwoman?

@TheUnworthyThor - I sure as hell hope that Matt Reeves called dibs on her!😹 Thanks to Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, and Michelle Pfeiffer, Catwoman has A LOT of mainstream appeal, especially with women. So if Matt Reeves doesn't have a role for her in his Batman movie, it's unlikely that Catwoman wouldn't be included in the HARLEY QUINN/Birds of Prey movie.

Just going by her looks I think Catwoman would be a purrrfect role for her (pardon the pun).
