Scarlett Johansson Rumored as Poison Ivy in The Batman Part II

Multiple entertainment outlets are reporting a leak from the DCULeaks subreddit that Scarlett Johansson has been cast as the main villain in Matt Reeves' sequel The Batman Part II. The rumor describes her character as a serial killer obsessed with plants who uses toxins, aligning with a grounded reinterpretation of the comic book villain Poison Ivy. The post claims she will target a character portrayed by Charles Dance, who leads a secret organization of Gotham’s elite, identified as the Court of Owls.

The same leak suggests other casting twists: Sebastian Stan is reported to play Victor Zsasz rather than Harvey Dent, and Charles Dance’s role remains undisclosed but tied to the Court of Owls. These developments shift earlier speculation that the sequel would focus on the Dent family.

The Batman Part II is slated for release on October 1, 2027, following the 2022 film that grossed over $770 million worldwide. Director Matt Reeves and co‑writer Mattson Tomlin have confirmed Johansson’s involvement but have not disclosed her role. No studio has officially confirmed the Poison Ivy casting, so the story remains speculative.
