It's kind of odd, actually.
Just yesterday i remember reading an article that popped on my facebook feed, about how Emma Stone was "close" to landing the role and whatnot. Then, a while ago, i saw a note linked on 4chan about Emma turning down the role.
Now they're mentioning Wiig, someone who's well-known for "comedic" performances and it's not precisely the kind of actress you'd expect to see as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah.

My guess (and i hope i'm wrong), it's that we're stuck with crazy cat lady Cheetah with Superfriends and not the bloodthirsty werecat from current comics. And as you say, i'd expect someone who could match Gadot and look fierce in the process.
At best, we get leather pants Cheetah from One Year Later.
At worst, Kristen Wiig in a Chester Cheeto onesie.
