While there was plenty of talk about how Wonder Woman was a sign that sexual equality in the world of superheroes wasn’t as impossible as some studio executives seemed to think. However, it’s not just the in the ranks of heroes where there’s been a lack of women – the supervillains have tended to be men too.
However, Wonder Woman 2 is looking at adding a female baddie, with Deadline reporting the Kristen Wiig is in talks to play Cheetah in the movie.
Gal Gadot will once more be back in the title role, with Patty Jenkins returning to direct the movie, which will be set during the Cold War in the 1980s. Nothing else is known about the plot, and while we may know Wiig is being lined up to play CHeetah, we don’t know which one, as there have been four incarnations of the villain over the years. All of the Cheetahs over the years have possessed feline characteristics, but some have had superpowers while other didn’t, so there’s plenty of scope for how the character will be used in the movie.
Wonder Woman 2 is currently set for released November 1st, 2019
Next month Warner/DC will be hoping that they’ll be getting better reviews for Wonder Woman than they did for their last few films, and that critics and fanboys will finally be getting a bit more excited about their filmic universe. The latest trailer certainly make it look like it’ll be fun.

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman made quite an impression in Batman v Superman, giving many people hope that her standalone movie will be able to get the DC film universe on track after the rather messy Dawn Of Justice and Suicide Squad. The movie is going the Captain America route of taking us into the past, with time World War 1.
While Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was introduced earlier this year in Batman v Superman, but while we’ve known she was getting a standalone adventure and have had a couple of pictures, it’s only know we get our first proper look at the movie. To tie-in with Comic Con the debut trailer has arrived.
To tie in with the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a new pic from Wonder Woman has been released, featuring the title character alongside some of the Amazonian women, including Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright and Lisa Loven Kongsli.
Back in May Chris Pine signed on to play an important role in Warner/DC’s planned standalone Wonder Woman movie, and now he’s on the set all ready to be Steve Trevor.
A couple of days ago Michelle MacLaren backed out of directing Wonder Woman and it looked like once more the quest to have a major superhero movie directed by a woman would fail. However Warner/DC have moved quickly to replace her with Monster helmer Patty Jenkins, according to
