Updated IMDb cast listing for the standalone DCEU Wonder Woman film reveals that Florence Kasumba, who had a memorable moment with Scarlett Johansson's Black Window in Captain America: Civil War,  is playing an Amazon.  And not just a background warrior, Kasumba's actually playing a character from the comics, Senator Acantha, who debuted in Wonder Woman #10 (1987).  

In that run from George Perez and Len Wein, Acantha was one of the Amazonian leaders who argued that Diana should be allowed to serve as an ambassador to the world of 'Man.'  Perhaps similar scenes will unfold in Patty Jenkins' film?  

Also, what do you think are the odds we ever see the 'Security Chief' have a reunion with Black Widow? Nathasha Romanoff has had her teeth rattled before by the Dora Milaje in the comics.

@incredibleTalk - You could also see Callan Mulvey as a crossover.
He was a member of Hydra's elite death squad (SWORD), in Winter Soldier and in Civil War we find out that Hydra's previous elite death squad were all turned into Winter Soldiers. Also Grillo is now Crossbones. It's not much of a stretch to assume that Mulvey's character was also turned into a Winter Soldier.

And what is KGBeast if not a Winter Soldier.

A secret government super soldier with cybernetic enhancements?

I put forth to you all that Callen Mulvey's characters in Winter Soldier and Dawn of Justice were one and the same.

"Move or you will be moved." Probably the most badass line in the whole film.
