SAN DIEGO — Lucy Liu is set to embrace her inner warrior.
The 39-year-old actress will lend her voice to "Afro Samurai: Resurrection," a two-hour sequel to the animated series starring Samuel L. Jackson on Spike TV.
Liu will play Sio, a seductive and sadistic mastermind out to destroy Jackson's samurai.
Liu's most recent animated outing was in this summer's "Kung Fu Panda."
Other credits include "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and TV shows such as "Ally McBeal" and "Cashmere Mafia."
Mark Hamill is also slated to star in "Afro Samurai: Resurrection," playing a servant and protector to Liu's character. The movie is set to premiere on Spike TV in January.
