First Look at Kristen Wiig as Villain Cheetah in 'Wonder Woman 1984'
"Wonder Woman" is partying like it's 1984 and it's doing it with Kristen Wiig.
Director Patty Jenkins shared a first look at Wiig's villain character in "Wonder Woman 1984," the sequel to her blockbuster hit starring Gal Gadot as the titular superhero.
Wiig plays Barbara Minerva aka Cheetah. In the comics, she is a British anthropologist and heiress who gains cheetah powers after an expedition to an African jungle. She becomes obsessed with treasures held by Diana Prince, like her lasso.

Jenkins and Gadot have been teasing sneak peeks at the sequel, including this image of Wonder Woman in costume and a surprising pic of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), who is seen wearing '80s clothing despite his fate in the first movie.
Along with Wiig, Pedro Pascal ("Game of Thrones," "Narcos") joins the cast in a "pivotal role."
"Wonder Woman 1984" opens in theaters November 1, 2019
