Who is the Cheetah, the Wonder Woman villain? Her origin story has changed over time, but she will be played by Kristin Wiig in Wonder Woman 1984, alongside Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord when the Warner Bros. feature premieres.
Saturday Night Live alum Kristen Wiig will costar as Cheetah in Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman 1984, one of Wonder Woman’s fiercest foes. This weekend, at DC FanDome, Warner Bros.’ sneak peek of the delayed movie gave us our first look at the totally transformed villain in a brand new trailer. Behold, the bride of Urzkartaga! Wonder Woman 1984’s Cheetah follows comic book tradition, depicting Barbara Minerva as a fearsome anthropomorphic feline, equipped with a lashing tail and deadly claws. As one of Wonder Woman’s oldest foes, Cheetah has almost as many incarnations and retoolings as the heroine herself. In her original incarnation, crafted by Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston, she had no superpowers, just a burning jealousy of Wonder Woman and a spotted cat costume.
