There’s a new Poison Ivy wreaking havoc in Gotham. Peyton List, the 31-year-old actress and professional model, has been cast as the new Ivy “Pamela” Pepper replacing Maggie Geha, who played the role of the villain in Season 3 and part of Season 4.
As reported by Digital Spy, the producers of Gotham said that they decided to cast Peyton List (not to be confused with the 19-year-old Peyton Roi List who starred in Disney Channel’s Jessie and Bunk’d) over Geha in line with “the continuing evolution of Poison Ivy’s origin story.” The Gotham bigwigs also said that “Ivy Pepper has been transformed once again” to become more like “the Ivy we know from the comics – dangerous [and] a live wire of crazy energy.”
“She’ll set her sights on Gotham, intent on making the city her own green paradise,” the producers said of the version of Poison Ivy to be played by List.
