Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah Is Ready To Take On Gal Gadot In ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Fan Art

A new concept design for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman 1984 showcases what Kristen Wiig could look like as Cheetah.

Late last year, Warner Bros. released the first official trailer for the Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman 1984 starring Gal Gadot. However, the trailer didn’t footage a lot of footage of Kristen Wiig’s villainous Barbara Ann Minerva, a.k.a. Cheetah. In the comics, Cheetah is one of Wonder Woman’s oldest antagonists. First appearing in Wonder Woman #6, Cheetah has served as Wonder Woman’s arch-nemesis throughout her history in the pages of DC Comics. Her name and origins ultimately changed over the years but Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah is taking its inspiration from the Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva version of the character, who first appeared the Bronze Age.

Given the lack of footage of a transformed version of Cheetah, fans like digital artist “datrinti” are creating artwork that imagines what Kristen Wiig could look like Gal Gadot’s antagonist and the results are interesting, to say the least. You can check out the artist’s take on Cheetah below.
