    Tell that to Laurence Fishburne and Zachary Levi. Fishburne was Perry White for DC and plays Bill Foster in Ant-Man & The Wasp. Likewise, Zachary Levi was Fandral in Thor and now plays Captain Marvel in Shazam.

    Probably not a big deal for actors who play a bit part character in one or both to have cross contracts. Though I suspect anyone other than Zach’s contract for Captain Marvel will have a clause that prevents him from playing a major MCU character

    Meh. I love Kristen but if she does rather flounder when she’s not, ya know, being funny...

    I don’t even care for Wiig in comedies — I just don’t find her very funny — but I really can’t imagine her playing Cheetah in Wonder Woman. But if it’s going to play out this way, then I’ll just hope for the best...

    I guess she could be trying to break out of the comedic roles... but can't say she's ever really made me chuckle.. she's been too over the top. If Cheetah is what they want her for... wow.

    But in all fairness, I'm sure I remember there were tons of folks who didn't want Gadot as WW either... so maybe we're in for another pleasant surprise??? (not keeping a straight face)

    I don't see Wiig as a villain at all, but we'll see I guess.

    I don’t see Wiig as villain material. I’ve seen her do a couple Indie dramas, but she was basically playing average characters that she probably didn’t have to step too far outside her comfort zone to play. I don’t think it would be the worst choice, but it’s one I have a hard visualizing.

    In so much as I want to jump up and ask WTF, I am reminding myself that I had a similar reaction to casting of Gal Gadot. I ate serious crow over that, though in honesty I was more than happy to in the end, so they've got my benefit of the doubt. Whatever that's worth.

    Yeah, I'm not feeling this one either. I actually really like Kristen Wiig, but I'm having problems imagining her as a villain, let alone one that would come across as threatening.

    I like Wiig, but if we're going for Cheetah, I'd like to see someone more on the action/athletic side of the spectrum. Doubly so if they're going more for the George Perez look or the Rebirth one.

    I'm having a tough time seeing Wiig in the role. There are parts of the DC universe where I could see working out but Cheetah seems like a pretty tough role to pull off in the first place, much less for someone that doesn't seem to fit the role.

    But hey I didn't really predict the box office for Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle so I'm not always right when it comes to movies.

    I could see Wiig doing another villain, like Veronica Cale or even Circe, but I really can't picture her as Cheetah.

    Then again, Jenkins earned my trust after the first movie, so I'll wait and see.

    Maybe if Cheetah is a completely CG creation (because reasons) she could do the voice and motion capture work. She was excellent as Lola Bunny. My daughters still love her as that character.

    Oh dang, I forgot that she was Lola -- that might be the one time I actually enjoyed her work. The Looney Tunes Show was great...

    There is another arch foe of Wonder Woman and that is the Duke of Deception. I wonder will they add him if there is a 3rd WW movie?
