Russell To Play Animated Wonder Woman

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III star KERI RUSSELL has signed up to play WONDER WOMAN in a new animated superhero movie.

The actress will join Alfred Molina, Rosario Dawson and Virginia Madsen among the unseen stars of Wonder Woman, which will hit DVD stores in February (09).

Russell, who was one of the names linked to moviemaker Joss Whedon's now-shelved Wonder Woman film, says, "The story (of the animated Wonder Woman) is funny and action-packed and adult in a nice way."
