Robin Tunney, the actress who plays the role of wife of the 1950s superman actor George Reeves in an upcoming film, will star at this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Hollywoodland will examine the events surrounding the shooting of George Reeves, who played the original superman in the 1950s US TV series.

And it seems Tunney is planning to turn her hand to poker with an appearance at this year's WSOP on the cards.

The actress is well known for her role as Veronica Donovan in hit TV series Prison Break and will star alongside Ben Affleck in the upcoming Hollywoodland.

Affleck also carries some impressive poker pedigree with him, having won the California State Poker Championship in 2004.

Tunney took part in last month's WSOP $10,000 buy-in event at Celebrity Poker Showdown and finished second behind Jason Alexander beating other keen celebrity poker players such as Andy Dick, Macy Gray and Joy Behar.

She told the National Ledger she was excited by the prospect of a game with Affleck saying "I wasn't into poker yet when we made the film, but I'd love to play with him".
