It looks like Poison Iv is getting another face-lift on Gotham. Peyton List has been cast as the latest version of the character on the DC series.
The age-shifting character has been played by Clare Foley earlier and Maggie Geha starting in Season 3 of the Bruno Heller Batman backstory series, it is unclear whether List’s Ivy Pepper/Poison Ivy will join the show as a recurring guest star later this season or in a potential season 5.
Gotham producers had this to say about the latest change:
“In the continuing evolution of Poison Ivy’s origin story, Ivy Pepper has been transformed once again taking another step toward becoming the Ivy we know from the comics. Dangerous. A live wire of crazy energy. She’ll set her sights on Gotham, intent on making the city her own green paradise.”
A recurring presence on fellow DC/WBTV series The Flash a few seasons back, List is presently in production on an arc for USA Network’s Colony. Having played the often petulant Jane Sterling on Mad Men for five seasons, appeared on ABC’s short-lived Blood & Oil and starred in Disney’s The Greatest Game Ever Played, List was the lead on the CW’s time-shifting Frequency, which was canceled this year after one season.
