Characters We Want to See in The Wonder Woman Sequel
Wonder Woman succesfully brought the character and her mythos to the big screen, and is a [...]
Ferdinand
While Diana might not be able to return to Themyscira for some time, that doesn't mean Themyscira can't come to her in some instances, resulting in a possible Themysciran Embassy.
Now that the world knows about the Amazons, it would make perfect sense for them to establish some sort of embassy with mankind's world, and an embassy needs a staff. Enter Ferdinand, a chef who happens to be a Kithotaur and is quite endearing.
He recently returned in Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman run, helping Diana regain her sanity after learinign some long kept lies about her home. Here his role wouldn't be as critical, but he could very well be some important comic relief that the first movie had in spades.
He would be a bit taxing on teh effects budget (he is a Kithotaur after all), but if done right he would be completely worth the investment.

Circe
With Ares defeated and no other Gods to cause trouble, the Wonder Woman sequel might need to look at Diana's more magical enemies, including the villainous witch Circe.
Circe has been interpreted many different ways, but the recent appearance in the Greg Rucka-written Rebirth series would fit nicely into several eras. The sequel would likely be set in the modern day, since that is where the first film ends, and Circe's current character is a bit more grounded and believable than some of her past incarnations.
Also having the villain be centered around witchcraft and magic opens up some intriguing possibilities in both plot and visual style, and seeing the hero adapt to Circe's abilities could be interesting as well. She's also had several conflicts with the Gods, and it could be a way to introduce them back into the fold.

First Born
If Magic isn't your cup of tea, then maybe the First Born is, a character that was introduced in Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang's New 52 run.
The First Born has no true name but is actually the first son of Zeus and Hera. After a witch foresaw the newly born son taking over Olympus and sitting on Zeus' throne, he wished to put a stop to it and commanded the witch to kill him.
She didn't however, and abandoned him, only to be taken in by a pack of hyenas. He would later attempt to attack Olympus, and as punishment, Zeus sent him to the core of the earth, and it would 7000 years before he could dig his way out. He sought revenge on the Gods as well as on their latest heir, the last born.
This would be a wonderful way to get the Gods involved without having to bring them back to life, as he could emerge from that 7000-year journey in the modern day or relatively later in the past. Seeing what Jenkins could do with it would be entertaining indeed.

Cheetah
Barbara Ann Minerva has been both a villain and a close ally, a factor that makes her adversarial role hit even harder.
In the current rebirth series, Barbara Ann discovered Diana early in her career as Wonder Woman, where she helped Diana adapt to the modern world. She would eventually become the Cheetah thanks to the manipulations of Veronica Cale, and in this form, Barbara blamed Diana for not saving her from this cruel fate.
With the help of Diana and Etta Candy she would eventually return to human form, but she has been forced back into the Cheetah form since. It's an ongoing struggle as outside of that form she is one of Diana's best friends, and it could make for some compelling drama onscreen.
Throw in a magic wielding Circe and you could have the setup for a great sequel.
