There have been a select few Tweets from crew members and industry insiders who have assured (without spoiling anything) that people will be impressed with Cheetah. Although that could be interpreted many ways, I honestly doubt that they would miss the chance to create a memorably cinematic villain by turning her into a woman dressed in cheetah print. I know that the character was indeed that back when she was introduced, but in this day and age of visually spectacular films, why would they go for a non-were-cheetah Cheetah?
