'Wonder Woman': The Internet Reacts To Kristen Wiig As Cheetah

The internet is still trying to process Kristen Wiig being cast as The Cheetah in the Wonder Woman sequel, but that doesn't mean the reactions are any less entertaining.

Wonder Woman 2 director Patty Jenkins took to social media to announce that Wiig, who had been rumored to be in talks for the role, was officially cast as the well-known villain.

"So excited to confirm the most thrilling news. 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. #Cheetah!!! @GalGadot."

Wiig is primarily known for her comedic roles and performances in Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, Despicable Me 2 & 3, MacGruber, and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, but she's also turned out more diverse performances in projects like The Skeleton Twins, The Martian, and Mother!.

Wiig is an interesting choice to play the villain, but then again previous castings similar to this worked out quite well, and it should provide her a chance to show off some different skill sets.

As for the Wonder Woman sequel, it will once again have Jenkins and star Gal Gadot on board, but it will still be a much different film from the original.

"We're actually making a totally different film with a lot of the same, similar like things that we love, but it's its own movie completely, so it's not 'two' to us," Jenkins told ET. "It's an entirely new adventure together that we couldn't be luckier [to do]."
