They might be going with the Golden Age Cheetah,
Priscilla Rich, who is described as '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.'
That would be a better fit for Wiig, IMO.
I guess. Even Minerva has a bit of an inferiority complex. She just hides it well and is a bit more vicious.
That is plausible though, as the movie is rumored to be set in the 50s.
I dunno if Wigg is physical enough for the Cheetah part of it either way. She's tiny, and I dunno that her voice will work for the beast side.
She's got to seem capable enough to stand up to Diana, and like I said, Gal Gadot seems like she'd break Kristen Wigg in half. I don't know that a year or so with a personal trainer is going to fix that.
We'll see. The last one was good, so I'll see it at least. Maybe Patty and Kristen can surprise me and pull it off.
Still, the current state of DC movies has taught me not to get my hopes up, and to expect bad casting and failure to live up to potential.
None of the DC movies are terrible really, but they've made a habit of taking some of the most iconic characters in comics and making mediocre movies that royally screw up the characters.
It took them three movies to figure out how to make Clark act like Superman. Batman was straight up murdering people. Batfleck is trying to bail. They screwed up Lex and the Joker royally. They only seem to want to draw from iconic comics that don't really fit the movies they're making or the time frame. Doomsday was there for no good reason. It was too soon for Superman to die, and they completely missed the point of the Dark Knight Returns. Lex apparently doesn't know how to science for some reason, etc, etc, etc...
They should have used Bizzaro for that final sequence in BvS. In the comics he's a clone Lex made of Superman. He didn't need a magic spaceship pool and it would have been a good way to establish him as both a genius and a threat.
The difference between Marvel and DC is that Marvel is actually getting comic book nerds to make their movies and the studio is letting them rather than micro managing and focus testing them to death.
Marvel also took the time to establish the characters and worldbuild before going for the big team up movies. They should have given everyone in the Justice League at least one solo movie before even trying to make that movie. Half the problem of it was that it was trying to set everyone up for most of the movie. Marvel didn't need to do that with Avengers, and that's part of why it worked.
