Rihanna has proven herself a multi-tasker of epic proportions. And while much of that title relates to her entrepreneurial activity, she’s no stranger to the big screen either.
Now, per a new report, Warner Bros may be looking to gift the Bajan belle her next big role.
Full story below…
According to We Got This Covered, RiRi is said to be on the studio’s internal list of names in contention to play Poison Ivy in the next Batman movie.
No word on whether a formal offer has been extended to the 31-year-old, but early murmurs has made DCEU enthusiasts excited. Especially as Ms. Ivy hasn’t been present on screen since 1997.
Rih’s filmography has generated varied results, with some titles fairing better (‘Oceans 8’) than others (‘Battleship’).
Still, as the likes of Beyonce with ‘The Lion King’ and Lady Gaga with ‘A Star Is Born,’ there ample marketing potential in attaching a major Pop star to a flick. So, it definitely would be a great look on paper for all parties.
Perhaps, just perhaps, that may bring with it the new music folk are thirsty for from Ms. Fenty too.
Would you be here for Rih playing Poison Ivy? Let us know…
Only reason why I’d see the movie!
Yes baby gal……
Terrible choice! I like Rihanna as a business woman but as a actress nope.
Ikr. Rihanna is an exotic beauty and is talanted but as an actress is a no. She should stick to business and music (if she ever going to give us an album again.)
You must’ve not seen any of her movies ? Rihanna got this ! ??
Perfect for the role
yes!
Ummm yes Mam! I can see it
She got the allure and exoticness but her acting leaves a lot to be desired. White people really out here losing roles to black folk in Hollywood ? I’m loving it!!
Only bc yall use that race card and they don’t wanna hear crying.
Or maybe because they have more character and can do the role better !

Honey, no white commentary is needed or necessary. Stop contributing to diaspora and keep the trap zipped.
I think her and BeyoncĂ© are pretty much music at this point. Could be the behind the scenes stuff, the politics or just lack of caring anymore but they seem over it. I noticed BeyoncĂ© was just tired of it all during Coachella. She seemed robotic and just going through the motions. I noticed Rihanna kind of over during the “ANTi” era and considering all the s*** that went wrong, understandable. She also made f****** killing in the last few years during everything but music so…why not leave music for a while ??‍♂️.
DC is trash.
Rihanna dont do it.
Marvel is the winning team. Join marvel instead. all 3 marvel movies released this year exceeded 1 billion dollars.
Do you have an actual job? You are on here everyday spouting advice as if celebrities are even going to read it.
I fuks with rihanna and all
But I don’t see her as poison ivy…
There are plenty of other actresses who would be perfect for that role
Like a white actress??? Stfu
Like a GOOD actress!
I’m Rican and half my family is jamaican, trini, etc etc… She f****** sucks!
i could see it https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
Ugh this Batman reboot sounds like it’s going to be horrible
Yup…..
No ma’am
Queen Bey is better and more fit for the role
Lmao beyonce couldn’t even act in an animated movie, so stop with the jokes.
Why try then right?BTW BATMAN stand-alone films usually do pretty well.There’s that.
No.
I can see this for her. I think she has room to grow as an actress but she’s still young and new at it. She did really well in Guava Island. She very enigmatic on screen. Poison ivy is a good chance to play a character.
Feck no. Fans (and when i say fans, I mean DC fans, not pop star fans) are excited about poison ivy –not Rihanna playing poison ivy.
And as a redhead, we are only 4% of the world’s population, the percentage of minority for a redhead of ethnic colour an even a smaller fraction. Poison Ivy has been an icon and bad a*** role model to the ginger nation since her appearance in Batman on June 1966!! Can we not get a REAL redhead to portray us??!! My opinion of Rhianna as poison Ivy….in the words of Isla Fisher, ( a natural redhead) from the movie, Tag, “suck my tiny ginger balls.”
Ha ha !!I love Isla Fisher so good in Beach Bum
I think she a perfect choice for poison ivy ?
Hmmmm her lazy acting style can be well suited for the typical lazy Poison ivy
I’m a big RiRi fan but honestly RiRi is not an actress. She has the looks and can pull off the red hair but acting is most der not her strong suit #js
Zoey Dutch, Madelaine Petsh, Jessica Chastain, Dallas Bryce Howard, Riley Keough, Dianna Agron would all be better choices. And that’s just at the top of my head
Jessica Chastain !!!
Noooooo no no. They need to stop. And no this isn’t about race. I dont think she has good acting skills. Her role Oceans 8 was horrible. Im sorry.
Here come all the angry white people
I HATED her acting in Oceans 8. You took a spot of a talented actress to act like a spoiled brat in that film. Mind you I actually ADORE RIHANNA. THIS IS A TERRIBLE CHOICE. OH GOD HER ACTING IS WORSE THAN BEYONCE. JUST STOP GIVING HER ACTING ROLES. PS. This is coming from a very loving place. Vent over…
Why can’t they bring back Uma Thurman?
PERFECT! She focuses more on weed than improving her vocals. #HereForIt
Ruth Connell as Ivy!!
Please stop ruining Batman movie with s***** actors!
?
I would Love to see this ? I Love you riri and you’ll kill that part ?❤️
I absolutely agree. I vote ?
I would love to see her play Ivy. Its going to be a good ass movie
I feel like she’d make an awesome cat woman
halle berry did it first :3
Yup, Rihanna for Poison Ivy and CHRISTINA RICCI for Catwoman.
Absolutely! I think she would slay poison Ivy.
Yes i think Riri would play an excellent poison ivy….
OMG like ? yes I would love to see Rihanna in the next Batman movie playing poison ivy ???
poison ivy is just a TERF’s dream. the whole thing is sad.
Yesssss
RIHANNA WOULD BE PERFECT AT It she already own the world let’s make her Queen
Why can’t a Hispanic or Asian lady take these type of roles instead of just black ladies?? Rihanna is cool and all, but I want some other people of color for once if people are going to be complaining about not casting the original and faithful character as a white lady with red hair and green eyes. :/
Hell yes im definetly watching
No, no, no, no, NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love for her to play poison ivy I think it would be very interesting and I believe the part fits her
i think she would make sn awsome poison ivory rf#
Why do they always cast a black person to play the bad guy? Are they equating being black with being evil?
