Kristen Wiig Added to Wonder Woman Film as Cheetah

Kristen Wiig made news by the announcement that she’ll be playing the character Cheetah in the yet to be filmed ‘Wonder Woman’ #6. Cheetah is a character that was published in the DC Comics brand back in 1943. Details of the film are scarce with the exception that script will be set in the mid-80s during the US Russian Cold War.

Kristen began her rise in national acclaim as a key part of the ‘SNL’ series back in 2005, where she portrayed various characters that caught the imagination of the viewers while appearing in blockbuster movies like Bridesmaids, The Martian, and Ghostbusters over the years. Kristen has been nominated for an Oscar, SAG, Primetime Emmy (eight times) and Golden Globe award during her career. We hear she’s thrilled to be part of the Wonder Woman ensemble, a film that begins work later this summer.
