I think Wiig will be brilliant. I can totally see her playing the character like how Greg Rucka recently wrote. I see a tragic friendship souring between WW and Cheetah.
Wiig will get the opportunity to show even more range to her repetoire than never before. Embodying brilliance as a human alter ego, and werebeast as theatrical villain, I'm certain her character's duplicity will be written to be relatable by the audience. She'll veritably look like a mythical Cheetah monster of demigod proportions; inwardly fighting a curse, and outwardly fighting her bloodthirsty canabalistic urges, amidst a specific 80s political and sociological era. Surely, she'll be directed to pleasantly scare the bejeebers out of all of us with every snarl, puncture and scratch. Considering any exotic, big cat attack against humans, really, she can't fail: This movie will probably be quite the wild ride.
Gender-related ageism in casting a female antagonist wouldn't be an issue if they took a Paris Hilton approach over an Alexis Carrington Colby for a Priscilla Rich aristocrat/debutante type.
If they went with a Hilton approach, they could cast the hot new starlet rather than a choice like Wiig which is the traditional "elder villain".
That approach would've been my preference.
That said: I'm open to see what they do with Wiig, despite my take on Wiig being that she has shown me so little charisma that I consistently find her co-stars more memorable.
