Los Angeles - Elizabeth Hurley has joined the cast of Wonder Woman.
The 45-year-old actor is "thrilled" to be appearing as an evil villain in a pilot episode of the new NBC re-imagining of the hit 70s show.
Writing on her Twitter page, Hurley said: "Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman. I'll be playing the evil villain. Can't wait."
While Lynda Carter originally played the iconic superhero, relatively unknown star Adrianne Palicki is set to assume the lead role in the pilot.
Disappointment
However, last month's casting announcement may have come as a disappointment to Mad Men actor Christina Hendricks, who recently admitted she would love to play the part.
She said: "I've been wanting to wear that outfit my whole life! I'd love to do it. That would be such fun! Let's put it out there!"
The initial episode of Wonder Woman is to be made by studio giants Warner Bros, with Ally McBeal writer and producer David E Kelly penning it and the subsequent series if it proves to be popular.
He recently explained while he enjoyed taking the helm, it was a "complicated" show to write.
David said: "I had a lot of fun writing it. It's a very complicated piece, which is the most fun thing about it."
