With Wonder Woman 1984 still on track for a wide theatrical release this October, the DC Extended Universe film has released a sneak peek of its new villain in action.Originally posted on the film's official Instagram Reels, the clip shows Kristen Wiig's Barbara Minerva, as she begins to transform into the villainous Cheetah. Attending a formal party, an unimpressed Minerva decides to test her incredible, new physical abilities on a night run through the city, visibly unfazed as she charges at a full sprint.
"I don't want to be like anyone," Cheetah declares in voiceover narration. "I want to be an apex predator."
With Wonder Woman 1984 expected to have a major presence at DC FanDome later this month, the advance clip could herald a new theatrical trailer providing even more footage of Cheetah in action, perhaps taking on her old friend Diana Prince as she embraces her villainous destiny. With less than two months until the DCEU film's anticipated premiere, the upcoming DC event is poised to pull out all the stops.
Directed and co-written by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Natasha Rothwell. The film arrives in theaters Oct. 2.
