While Cheetah's final form hasn't yet been featured in a trailer, it has been teased through several pieces of Wonder Woman 1984 merchandise, including a Funko Pop! figure, a sticker pack and a Halloween costume. Now, another look at Cheetah's final design can be seen on a playing card.
Released as the joker in a deck of themed playing cards, the Cheetah art was shared on Reddit and showed an almost full-body shot of the villain covered in cheetah-like spots and fur. She also appeared to have yellow eyes and slicked-back red hair, prompting a commenter to compare her look to the popular musician David Bowie.
Wonder Woman 1984 will introduce Kristen Wiig as Barbara Ann Minerva, a woman who begins a friendship with Gal Gadot's Diana Prince only to transform into the powerful villain Cheetah. The character is a longtime foe of Wonder Woman in the comics and has appeared in a number of animated TV shows and films. Some fans wondered if Diana and Barbara would have a romantic relationship; however, director Patty Jenkins has since debunked this theory.
Wonder Woman 1984 will jump several decades from the first film, 2017's Wonder Woman, which took place during World War I. The sequel will show the return of Steve Trevor and introduce a new villain named Maxwell Lord.
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.
