Actress Jessica Biel has turned down the chance to play comic book superhero Wonder Woman, according to reports.

The "Illusionist" star, 25, was last week said to be in talks to take on the role in the forthcoming George Miller-directed movie Justice League Of America.

But publication Entertainment Weekly claims Biel has followed in Kate Beckinsale's footsteps and declined the part.

The film will follow the adventures of an elite group of superheroes, including Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman and the Flash.
