LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kristen Wiig will play a villain in the next “Wonder Woman” film.

Director Patty Jenkins announced on Twitter Friday that Wiig will star as Wonder Woman rival Cheetah in the superhero sequel.

Jenkins said in her post that she “can’t wait to finally work with one of my favorites” and is very excited by what they have planned.

Star Gal Gadot welcomed Wiig to the cast in a follow-up post and added, “This is going to be WONDERful.”
