Comedian Kristen Wiig will be seeing spots soon. 

The actress, known for her turn on "Saturday Night Live" and starring roles in "Ghostbusters" and "Bridesmaids," will get her villain on for "Wonder Woman 2." Director Patty Jenkins confirmed Wiig's role as Cheetah Friday on Twitter.

Reports of Wiig's possible involvement in the superhero sequel first emerged in late February. 

Information on the next chapter in the Wonder Woman sage is still scarce, but we know Gal Gadot will reprise her role as the Amazonian superhero and her alter ego Diana Prince. Gadot chimed in on Twitter to welcome Wiig to the cast.

The villain Cheetah first appeared in the Wonder Woman comics in 1943 sporting a cheetah-print suit and long tail. Cheetah has gone through several incarnations over the decades, so Jenkins and Wiig will have a lot of potential history to draw on for developing the role.

"Wonder Woman 2" is expected to hit theaters in late 2019.
