Jenkins’ tweet comes a week after reports that Warner Bros. was eyeing Wiig for the main antagonist role. It’s still too early to say which iteration of the Cheetah will be showing up in the movie. But the latest version—an archeologist friend of Diana’s who gets corrupted by an ancient evil deity—seems to line up best with modern sensibilities.
What do you think of the casting?
