Coming off the recent rumor that Barbara Ann Minerva, a.k.a. Cheetah, would be the main villain for the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel, Deadline is reporting that none other than Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, mother!) has entered talks with Warner Bros. to play the role.

We had previously been led to believe that the studio approached Emma Stone to play Cheetah, but that the Amazing Spider-Man actress passed on the offer.

The report also seems to confirm the '80s Cold War setting but doesn't really provide any further details, so we're not sure what stage the negotiations are in. We'll keep you guys updated on that front.

In the meantime, let us know what you think about this rather unconventional choice to play Cheetah in Wonder Woman 2.

@ChangAlang - if they were gonna go for someone who is not athletic-looking, I would have thought they would go with someone like Sarah Paulson, who can act her ass off.

@niceguyeddie - She’s from American Horror Story right? Yeah you have a point. I’d rather have Kristin for the role over Emma. Can’t really pinpoint why at this stage though.

@ChangAlang -

CBMs almost ruined Emma's career. She ain't going back.
But Kristen Wiig is an interesting choice. I was hoping for Charlize Theron, but I could see Charlize as Veronica Cale, too.

Charlize as Veronica Cale. Omg that would be lit af. She has the attitude to pull that off.

Could be handled like how David Thewlis was as Ares. They could figure something out if they go down this route with her.

@NinnesMBC - David Thewlis had a LOT of experience playing villains though. I don't know if Kristen Wiig has even played a villain in Saturday Night Live sketches. Still. I am curious to see how it pans out. If she is ultimately cast, that is.

@SisterSunday52 - I didn't know David Thewlis had experience in that. TBH I just knew him from HP as Remus Lupin and in Seven Years in Tibet with Brad Pitt. :O

Agreed, we'll have to wait to see if she even accepts the role.
