The source is none other than "Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins, who is set to write, direct and produce the sequel. Wiig was apparently very high on Jenkins' list, and the director delivered the confirmation via Twitter:
So excited to confirm the most thrilling news. Yes! It’s true! So incredibly lucky to welcome the sensationally talented Kristen Wiig to our Wonder Woman family. Can't wait to finally work with one of my favorites. And SO excited by what we have planned. #Cheetah!!! @GalGadot pic.twitter.com/Gn0jICiIAH

Star Gal Gadot also welcomed Wiig to the franchise:
I’m SO excited welcome on board Kristen! This is going to be WONDERful! https://t.co/FqQ191m1s0

The DC Comics character Cheetah was created by William Moulton Marston and first appeared in the "Wonder Woman" comics in 1943 and has since received several aliases: Priscilla Rich, Deborah Domaine, Barbara Ann Minerva/Cavendish and Sebastian Ballesteros. The character has the appearance of a cheetah and possesses superhuman speed, reflexes, and strength, as well as enhanced sight and smell. Also claws and fangs. She will make for a very freaky CGI character, since I doubt they'll go practical in this digital age.
"Wonder Woman 2" opens in theaters on November 1, 2019.
