10 Villains We Want To See In The DC Extended Universe (And Who Should Play Them)

The future of the DC Extended Universe is in a state of flux at the moment, but one thing that does look set to happen in an upcoming movie is the formation of the Legion of Doom (or Injustice League) - a band of supervillains to face off against the might of the League. After all, JL's post-credits scene, featuring Lex Luthor recruiting Deathstroke, caused such excitement from fans that DC would be wise to double down on its promise.

Charlize Theron – Cheetah

Unlike Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman doesn’t have too many iconic enemies. But now that Ares has been ticked off in the previous movie, the most obvious foe for Diana to face in the upcoming Wonder Woman 2 is Cheetah, a former thief cursed to become a cat-lady. Cheetah would also be a natural pick to be a member of the Legion of Doom, meaning she could become a recurring presence in the DCEU. So, the character really needs a talented actress to make a big impression.

Thankfully, we have someone in mind: Charlize Theron. She’s reliably amazing in everything she does and would definitely offer up a match for Gal Gadot’s Amazon princess. The best part of this casting is that it could genuinely happen. Theron goes back a long way with director Patty Jenkins and was even offered a part in Wonder Woman, which she had to pass up due to scheduling conflicts. Hopefully, Jenkins can talk her into appearing in the sequel instead.
