There's scant details about her role at the moment, only that she's playing "a high-ranking Amazonian warrior".

Early speculation is already suggesting Kidman could be playing Hyppolyta, Diana Prince's biological mother and the Queen of the Amazons in Wonder Woman comic lore.

This isn't the first DC Comics-related role for Kidman - the actress starred as Chase Meridian opposite Val Kilmer in 1995's Batman Forever.

Gadot will make her debut as Wonder Woman in next year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with a Patty Jenkins-directed solo movie following in 2017.

Star Trek's Chris Pine will play Wonder Woman's love interest Steve Trevor, a US intelligence officer who crash lands on the heroine's Paradise Island home world.

Wonder Woman is currently scheduled for release in June 2017.
