SPOILER’S WARNING: The following article contains massive spoilers for 1984’s Wonder Woman. If you haven’t yet had a chance to watch the movie, continue at your own risk!
Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah has one of the strongest arches in Wonder Woman 1984, transforming yourself from a lone nerdy scientist into a bold and selfish killer, but you probably realized that the conclusion was left a little open. The titular heroine successfully defeats her in combat before facing Max Lord, and there is a final glimpse of her that lets the public know that she has returned to human form, but not much information is provided beyond that – including what happens to her in the aftermath chaos, and whether or not she rescinded her desire. You may find yourself asking a lot of questions, but for director Patty Jenkins this is definitely intentional.
