"Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman," she Tweeted. "I'll be playing the evil villain. Can't wait."

NBC declined to confirm the casting, but a source said there is a deal contingent on Hurley obtaining a work visa. The role will be as a guest star in the pilot.

Former "Friday Night Lights" star Adrianne Palicki has been cast as the new Wonder Woman.
