Well, it should come as no surprise that Harley Quinn’s BFF Poison Ivy is believed to be involved in the movie, but what’s more interesting is who’s rumored to play her. According to a new report, Megan Fox might be circling the role.
While details on Gotham City Sirens are still sparse, Ayer has hinted that Catwoman could stand alongside Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn as one of the main characters. All three are prominently featured in the Gotham City Sirens comic books on which the film is based. The script comes from Geneva Robertson-Dworet, whose other works include the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, Sherlock Holmes 3, and Dungeons & Dragons.

Robbie is the one who got the ball rolling on Gotham City Sirens, after her research into Harley Quinn for Suicide Squad led to her becoming interested in DC’s other female characters. She enlisted a writer to help develop the project and then approached Warner Bros. about making it a reality. The studio, naturally, was more than happy to get on board with a film featuring one of DC’s most popular characters and starring one of Hollywood’s most buzzed-about actresses.
Despite the severely mixed (to put it mildly) critical reaction to Suicide Squad, the film made a good chunk of money and Warner Bros. now has several follow-ups in development. Gotham City Sirens is the furthest along, but they’re also working on a proper Suicide Squad sequel and a Deadshot spinoff featuring Will Smith.
