Washington, July 10 : American actress Keri Russell has signed up to play Wonder Woman in a new animated superhero movie.

The Mission: Impossible III star was one of the names linked to moviemaker Joss Whedon's now-shelved Wonder Woman film.

"The story (of the animated Wonder Woman) is funny and action-packed and adult in a nice way," Contactmusic quoted the actress as saying.

The Wonder Woman DVD will be out in stores in February (09).
