Wonder Woman 2

[TigerClaw]

Since there's no thread for the Wonder Woman Sequel. I thought I create it.

Kristen Wiig is in talks to play the Villain Cheetah for Wonder Woman 2. The sequel will be set in the 80s during the Cold War.

Cheetah, yes.

Kristen Wiig, maybe.

Cold War... why? Can we not move forward to post-Justice League? This sequel really didn't need to be another BvS prequel. Oh well, Jenkins and Gal made a great first movie; I'm confident they'll go 2 for 2.

I dunno... I've read a lot of Cheetah appearances and there's nothing in Wiig's resume that would lead me to believe she's remotely suited for "ferocious, bloodthirsty femme fatale with muscles."

There will probably be another modern day framing device, like with the first movie.

It's actually necessary, in a way. WW at the end of WW is certainly not the same WW we saw in BvS. But then Gal Gadot said that was just retconned away, or something. Dumb.

The Cold War itself isn't a very exciting choice, though.

I rather she fight human soldiers again than the boring CGI monsters like in Suicide Squad and Justice League.

Yeah, well as far as Wiig, what you're saying about her sounds a lot like what people had to say about Gadot back in 2015. I'm willing to give her the chance, even though I agree that I can think of a handful of women I think would be better choices... Charlize Theron, naturally; Sofia Boutella; Rachel McAdams; Eva Green...

Eh, considering how patchwork the DCEU has been, I'm not going to complain about such a relatively minor retcon. It just feels like playing it way too safe when you end up doing a Wonder Woman prequel trilogy.

I hope Cheetah looks kind of like the Injustice 2 version.

Seems they are trying to keep WW solo movies away from the rest of the DCCU.
Can't blame them.

If you watch Welcome to me, she's incredible. That crazy seems to line up exactly with this crazy:

From Wikipedia:

The first woman to become the Cheetah, in Wonder Woman #6 (October 1943), is Priscilla Rich, a 1940s-era blonde Washington, D.C. debutante of aristocratic upbringing who also has an overwhelming inferiority complex and suffers from a split personality and self-importance. After being eclipsed by Wonder Woman at a charity event and failing to kill her during an escapology act, Priscilla retreats to her room and collapses before her makeup mirror. There she sees an image of a woman dressed like a cheetah. "Horrors!" she cries, as she gazes at her evil inner-self for the first time. "Don't you know me?" replies the reflection. "I am the REAL you—the Cheetah—a treacherous, relentless huntress!" The image commands her to fashion a Cheetah costume from a cheetah-skin rug. "From now on," intones the reflection, "when I command you, you shall go forth dressed like your TRUE self and do as I command you..." The Cheetah frames Wonder Woman for a robbery by hiding the money in her apartment and tipping off the police, then sets fire to a warehouse Wonder Woman is in, although Wonder Woman escapes. She is presumed dead, but survives thanks to her fireproof costume.

They can make her in CGI, if they need battle scenes (which most likely will be the case anyway).

DC Rebirth/current comic book era Barbara Minerva seems like a great fit for someone like Wiig--a socially awkward intellectual and adventurer.
