Kim Kardashian as Poison Ivy?

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

I just saw Jeff’s video on X. What would break the internet? Outside of Rob’s Batman merging into the DCU, I really can’t think of any casting that would “break the internet” unless it’s Daniel Day Lewis or Leonardo DiCaprio lol

Breaking the internet is probably hyperbole. But he did say he’d be going live with John Rocha immediately after to talk about it so it must be something he thinks is substantial.

Probably another "rumor" about an actor who is not going to be in the film.

Bill “Jett” Ramey is also hinting at something major going down imminently.

Scarlett Johansson’s casting in The Batman Part II last week effectively served as a Bat-Signal to scoopers around the world that, after years of rumors, speculation, and missed release dates, director Matt Reeves is finally gearing up to return to Gotham City — for real.
Johansson is a real-deal movie star, and her casting is a coup for the Bat-sequel, but without any plot details to chew on, fans were left to wonder who, exactly, she’d be playing.

Early rumors suggested that Johansson would be a love interest who would most likely be revealed to be villainous in nature. Fans tossed out the usual guesses — the Phantasm, Poison Ivy, Vicky Vale, etc.

But a well-placed agency source reached out on Friday afternoon to shed some light on where things stand.

According to this source, The Batman Part II offers three new key roles, among other plum parts, and the town’s agents were instructed to pitch clients for a man and woman in their 40s, and an older man in his 60s.

I’m told by this source that the three roles are, in fact, Harvey Dent, his wife, and… his father. Doctor Arkham is also in the movie, but it’s expected to be a smaller role.

Thus, it’s my understanding that Johansson will play Mrs. Dent, aka Gilda Gold, and that Reeves had reached out to 61-year-old Brad Pitt not about playing Harvey, but about playing his alcoholic father, Christopher Dent, who had an abusive relationship with his son.

Alas, despite rampant rumors, Pitt will not be involved in The Batman sequel, as next year he’ll be busy shooting Edward Berger’s The Riders for A24. It was impossible to make the dates work once production on The Riders was pushed back a month or so.

Scarlett Johansson’s Role in The Batman Part II Revealed?

Is she playing the Phantasm, Poison Ivy, Vicky Vale, or someone else entirely? Find out below...

VA implied the other day that Dent was in it.

Ohhh, where?

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Sneider is full of **** sometimes but the Christopher Dent thing has such an ultra specificity it sounds real.

Okay that would be brilliant, I'm not even gonna pretend

If he's right about this, he might actually be right about Robin.

 

[SupermansPal]

Meh, another Two-Face origin story?

Been there, done that:

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I’m in the minority of huge Two-Face fans who thinks TDK absolutely nails it. But he’s also my favourite and Reeves is almost uniquely suited to him.

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

No disrespect to Nolan’s Two Face and I loved The Dark Knight , but that felt rushed and crammed in for the 3rd act.

The Gilda Gold character never once popped in my head as a possibility.

 

[emc5466]

Two Face again? Really? You know how many awesome villains there are in the Batman rogues gallery and we keep getting the same ones. Ugh.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

VA is talking about this like it’s pretty well known in the industry. Think this is legit.

 

[J.Drangal]

If ScarJo really plays Gilda and the role was indeed originally offered to Emma Stone, you can bet there's some serious spin on this version of the character...

I’m in the minority of huge Two-Face fans who thinks TDK absolutely nails it. But he’s also my favourite and Reeves is almost uniquely suited to him.

I loved Eckhart in the role too, and my favorite scene from TDK remains the final confrontation between his Two-Face, Gordon, and Batman. The tension, the dialogue, the music... to me, that's where the real climax of the movie was.
I also think the character would be interesting to see in Reeves' universe—especially visually if Marino is in charge—but for now, I'm more intrigued by that potential "extended Dent family" on screen than excited about it. If that makes sense!

 

[flickchick85]

Huh. Ok.

 

[Boom]

Reeves said the villain was something that hasn't really been done before so I'm curious what he has planned for the Dent Family.

Love Harvey Dent. Love Two-Face. All for it.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Asking Brad Pitt to be Harvey’s drunk abuser Dad is such a chad casting move.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

VA now fully saying it’s true. Also that Pitt wanted to do it and it was purely scheduling.

 

[BobJM]

Asking Brad Pitt to be Harvey’s drunk abuser Dad is such a chad casting move.

He seems too young
