Diana and Cheetah fighting in what looks to be the White House. In the scene, Diana can be seen using her Lasso of Truth, though Cheetah seems to be deflecting it. The White House has been shown in stills and teaser footage for Wonder Woman 1984 before, suggesting it will be a key part of the film. Take a look at the Diana vs. Cheetah fight below.
Wonder Woman 1984: Eagle (Diana) vs. Cheetah
In Wonder Woman 1984, the big moral question of the story is whether or not Diana is willing to give up Steve. So Diana chooses to give up Steve to regain her powers so she can then thwart the bad guy and save the world. First she needs to fight Barbara Minerva, aka the Cheetah. Like with Ares, Cheetah is there to provide Diana a physical opponent she needs to overcome. Unlike the Ares battle, the problem with the fight isn’t that it’s antithetical, but that it’s superfluous.
Instead of feeling like a vital part of the story, the fight plays more like an obligation of the genre.
Diana isn’t challenged by this fight in any way. Not physically, because with Wonder Woman's powers and Asteria’s golden armor Cheetah is clearly outmatched. Not emotionally, because the film all but abandons any interest in the burgeoning dynamic between Diana and Barbara by the time Steve is revived, leaving their relationship too muddied and undefined to be the basis of conflict between them. And certainly not morally, because she’s already proven her moral integrity before the fight begins. It’s not like Diana tries to cheat the wishing curse by using the golden armor without her powers, or tries and fails to defeat the villains in a vain attempt to keep Steve.
She has already made the morally correct choice that this fight could have hypothetically forced upon her, the fight plays more like an obligation of the genre.
force behind this franchise appear to be in presenting Diana’s compassion, empathy and sense of duty to protect others rather than her ability to crush bad guys. Compared to blasting Ares to smithereens or electrocuting Cheetah into submission, consider how much more impactful moments are like Diana choosing to not stand by as people suffer at No Man’s Land, sparing Doctor Poison after Steve’s death, or breaking through to Max Lord by convincing him to go back to his son.
Diana fighting supervillains in bombastic action scenes isn’t in itself the problem. It would be rather strange to not have any action in what we know is an action movie. But hopefully for the already-announced Wonder Woman 3, Patty Jenkins and whoever else ends up working on the film can find a way to more naturally weave that action into the finale, because so far these final battles have felt incongruous with what the rest of the movies are going for.
Cheetah's fighting scene form will look like. Though fans have seen plenty of scene with Kristen Wiig in character, DC has been careful not to release any giving away her final transformation.
Even though a White House fight in Wonder Woman 1984 has been teased before, it's still interesting to see a scene of Diana and Cheetah fighting. They look to be evenly matched, with Diana perhaps struggling more than Cheetah in this particular moment. The role of Cheetah is a departure for Wiig, who hasn't been in an action movie of this magnitude before. However, given this scene and other promotional materials already released, it looks like she'll more than hold her own against Gadot's Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman 1984 (stylized on-screen and often abbreviated as WW84) is a 2020 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. It is the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman and the ninth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).
Cast
Gal Gadot both starred in and produced the film.
Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman:
An immortal demigoddess, Amazon princess and warrior. Diana is the daughter of Hippolyta, the Amazonian queen of Themyscira, and Zeus, the king of the Olympian Gods. Gadot spoke about the character's evolution, saying in the first film "[Diana] really is a fish out of water, coming from Themyscira into man's world and learning about the complexities of human life, really. In Wonder Woman 1984, she's been around. She's wiser and she's more mature. She's guarded and lost all of her friends throughout the years.
Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva / Cheetah:
A highly insecure geologist and gemologist who befriends Diana before becoming imbued with mystical abilities that gradually transform her into an apex predator-like superhuman. She allies herself with Lord to fight Diana.
