Last week it was revealed that Gotham was looking for a new actress to play an older, transformed Poison Ivy. It looks like they’ve already decided on Maggie Geha for the role!
It was previously reported that Gotham was on the hunt for a new actress to play Poison Ivy/Ivy Pepper so they could bump up the character’s age and make it a series regular role.
Today, TV Line reported that Maggie Geha will be playing the new and improved Poison Ivy! It’s also been revealed that her sudden age bump will be explained after Ivy has an encounter with one of the experiments from Indian Hill, which leaves her reborn and more like the villain Poison Ivy fans are used to seeing in the comics. With her new charms and body of a 19-year old, Poison Ivy decides to get revenge for her family and goes after Bruce Wayne.
This news follows the announcement that Jamie Chung has been cast to play Valerie Vale. Valerie is a reporter set on finding out the truth about Indian Hill and thinks Gordon is the key to her big story. Valerie is also the aunt to Vicki Vale, who is an infamous reporter from the comics that is always trying to discover Batman’s true identity.
You may know Geha from her previous roles in Ted 2, All My Children, or 30 Rock.
