A new piece of Wonder Woman 1984 promo art has surfaced online, offering fans a closer look at Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah.
The DC League Twitter account shared the latest marketing image of Wiig’s Barbara Ann Minerva fully transformed into the villainous Cheetah for Patty Jenkins’ upcoming sequel.

The holographic-style shot provides a fresh glimpse at the human-cheetah hybrid, with a full look at the character’s furry spotted body, slicked-back hair, and black-lined eyes. In the comics, Minerva is a British anthropologist who gains powers after an expedition to an African jungle where she transforms into a cheetah with orange skin and black spots, a tail and claws, as well as superhuman senses and reflexes.

There have been four main incarnations of Cheetah in DC’s comics. The first two, Priscilla Rich and her niece, Deborah Domaine, had no superhuman abilities to speak of, whereas Barbara Ann Minerva and Sebastian Ballesteros offered more modern embodiments of the character, with Urzkartaga granting them supernatural abilities along with their transformations into half-human, half-cheetah hybrids.

Jenkins previously spoke about Wiig’s character pre-transformation, saying she is “sometimes a friend, sometimes a colleague” of Diana Prince who “becomes Diana’s nemesis” along the way. For comic book fans, it will be interesting to see how the character’s arc plays out on screen but, unfortunately, we still have some time to wait until the Wonder Woman sequel is released.

Wonder Woman 1984 is just one of the dozens of movies affected by COVID-19, with Hollywood shutting down numerous productions and constantly shifting dates in theatrical release calendars due to the impact of the global pandemic.
