Last week we learned that former SNL star Kristen Wiig was in talks to play the villain Cheetah in Wonder Woman 2, and this morning director Patty Jenkins announced on Twitter that it was a done deal.
“So excited to confirm the most thrilling news,” Jenkins said. “Yes! It’s true! So incredibly lucky to welcome the sensationally talented Kristen Wiig to our Wonder Woman family. Can’t wait to finally work with one of my favorites. And SO excited by what we have planned.”
