Wonder Woman 2: 6 other actresses we’d like to see play Cheetah

5. Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley is mostly known for her role in the Johnny Depp franchise Pirates of the Caribbean where she played the illustrations Elizabeth Swann. But the 32-year old actress brings much more to the table. With over 56 films under her belt, the DCEU would be lucky to have her and to give her a chance to play a villain would be great. From roles in Imitation Game to Colette, Knightley has made herself into a star.

Although she doesn’t have any real actions movies under her belt, her talent trumps any doubt that she could fit into a role that forces to become a kick-ass villain. Giving her a chance to play a strong powerful woman in Cheetah. While she hasn’t exactly played a villain her resume is evident that she’s capable of becoming one. As an archeologist corrupt with power who falls victim to power fits her. She was tough as nails in Pirates as Elizabeth Swann and it’s that same type of comedic sexiness that would work well for Minerva.
