Is ROGUE ONE & VENOM Actor Riz Ahmed Being Eyed For A Role In The WONDER WOMAN Sequel?

We don't have a lot of details on this one, but word is Warner Bros. and Patty Jenkins might be zeroing in on Riz Ahmed (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Venom) for a role in the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel.

We recently found out that former Game of Thrones actor Pedro Pascal had joined the cast of Wonder Woman 2 in a mysterious role, and now a new rumor suggests that Warner Bros. may be looking to add another highly in-demand star to Diana's second solo big-screen outing.

Apparently, there are two new "decently sized" male villain parts in the film ("a slippery conman type and an imposing businessman"), and According to Jeff Sneider of Meet The Movie Press, Riz Ahmed "was being looked at" for one of them.

Now, that could indicate that the role he was being eyed for is the one Pascal ultimately nabbed, but if not, there's still a chance the Rogue One actor could wind up joining the production.

Granted it's not a lot to go on, but hey, it's fairly quiet out there today!

What do you guys think? Do any established Wonder Woman characters fit those description? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

Dude was wasted in Rogue One and Jason Bourne. Hopefully, he isn't here if cast.

If you've seen The Night Of, you know how talented he is.


He'd make for a cool Doctor Fate.

@Beetleborg - It's a possibility.

Diana could rescue Steve Trevor from the underworld.
