British beauty Elizabeth Hurley has reportedly joined the cast of Wonder Woman. According to her own words, the 45-year-old actress is “thrilled” and looking forward to appearing as an evil villain in a pilot episode of the new NBC remake of the 70s hit show.
“Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman,” the actress wrote on Twitter. “I’ll be playing the evil villain. Can’t wait.”
It was actress Lynda Carter who originally played the iconic superhero, while now relatively unknown star Adrianne Palicki is set to assume the lead role in the pilot.
Nevertheless, last month’s casting announcement probably left Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks disappointed, because she recently admitted she’d love to play the part. “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!” she said.
