DC Studios Prepares Poison Ivy Series - Scarlett Johansson Rumors Take Unexpected Turn

The creators of "The Penguin" are reportedly being sought for the project.

DC Studios continues to work on a Poison Ivy series, which media outlets had written off as canceled last summer. According to Deadline, Lauren LeFranc, the creator of "The Penguin," is being sought for the project, and negotiations are currently underway for her to join as a producer.

However, the new series will not be connected to Matt Reeves' "Batman" universe starring Robert Pattinson. Fans previously linked the project to rumors that Scarlett Johansson would play Poison Ivy in "The Batman Part II." However, the lead actress for the series has not yet been chosen, and who Johansson will play in the film is still unknown.

The project is in the early stages of development: a screenwriter and showrunner are still being sought, so it is too early to talk about a release date or other details.
