Late last week, it was revealed that Serinda Swan would return to Smallville as the character Zatanna.

Now, the series has announced even more exciting casting news:

Pam Grier is joining coming aboard the show for multiple episodes, reports Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly.

The movie star - who last appeared on the small screen on Showtime's The L Word - will portray DC Comics villainess Agent Amanda Waller. The character is an evil doctor that has been featured in a number of comic book stories and films.

Look for the Golden Globe nominated actress to debut in the second hour of the upcoming Justice Society-theme two-parter, “Legends." It airs in January.

Think Grier is a good choice for this iconic role?
