THE SUICIDE SQUAD Director James Gunn Debunks A Big Rumor About A Poison Ivy Cameo Appearance

With rumors swirling that Alice Braga is playing Poison Ivy in The Suicide Squad, writer and director James Gunn has been forced to debunk those claims, making it clear the character won't be in his film!

As desperate as fans may be to see Harley Quinn cross paths with her best friend and lover Poison Ivy in the DC Extended Universe, there are currently no plans to make that a reality. Even so, many comic book fans started getting behind a rumor shared by one website which claimed that The New Mutants's Alice Braga had landed the part of Dr. Pamela Isley in The Suicide Squad.

No one really gave it much in the way of serious attention, but it did prompt writer and director James Gunn to weigh in and debunk a story many fans were getting psyched about on social media. 

Gunn has vowed numerous times in the past not to lie to fans, so if he says Poison Ivy isn't in The Suicide Squad, then we can believe him. Between this and the character's absence in Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), it's looking like Warner Bros. simply doesn't have any serious plans for Harley's other half on screen for the time being. 

You can read Gunn's response to these rumors in the Twitter thread at the bottom of this article.

Not expecting anything Harley Quinn focused for a while after Birds Of Prey’s failure and you cant even blame that on Covid-19.

Robbie is a good actress, but there are a lot of actresses who might not be as good of an actress as her, but are better suited for the character, especially if they had stuck closer to paul dini’s original version.Like Allison Brie was my choice

@dracula - But the Harley from the DC Universe Harley Quinn show, is much different than the Batman Animated Series version, and yet everyone loves the Harley show overall.

Margot Robbie's performance wasn't the problem. The story they chose to tell was. Gotham City Sirens being kinda sorta announced earlier on, didn't help "Birds of Prey" at all.🤣

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - works in Harley Quinn the animated series, yeah but part of that is also Kayley cuco has much better comedic timing. Harley should be funny. Robbie’s version was weird and goofy at times but not funny

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - idk, I didn't like the Harley Quinn show, their interpretation of Harley is basically Deadpool with a mullet.

@dracula - such a shame she went vegan

But seriously, her voice is more suited to HQ than Ivy

Nah, Ivy will be ham-fisted into whatever they do with Harley/BOP next.

Bet on it.

I feel like Elizabeth Moss would be a great Poisin Ivy. She's so freakin creepy.

I feel like we've been here before.😂 Cosmicbook.news SUCKS! But they're often the response to directors, who like to keep things secret, for as long as possible. Creating interesting rumors (lies), to manufacture discussion. Since Alice Braga's character name isn't listed, fans are forced to speculate, and likely end up being disappointed. DCEU castings like Scoot McNairy, Jena Malone, and Scott Eastwood, were frustrating examples of this.

characters that are as popular as Ivy should be introduced in Batman film before a spin off. I think even if his depiction had been great Jared Letos joker would have felt off no matter what because it was the wrong movie to introduce him

If anyone should be Poison Ivy for a cameo it should be Lake Bell

@globaltravels - Bell kills it as a more comedic take on Ivy in 'Harley Quinn'. Hell, I'd pay good money to see a Kiteman cameo too
