DC Studios seems to be taking the Sadie Sink/Jean Grey approach to Adria Arjona's Man of Tomorrow role, keeping her character under wraps to increase speculation and excitement among fans.
Is she Maxima or Wonder Woman? The latter possibility is what everyone is hoping for, so if the Andor star does play Brainiac's right-hand woman, then there will be a huge amount of disappointment.
The Diana Prince speculation has gone into overdrive today, thanks to a new video that takes a deep dive into Arjona's training regimen, specifically for her role in James Gunn's upcoming Superman sequel.
During the interview, Arjona says, "The excitement of playing the woman that I’m playing gives me everything I need to wake up. Physically it’s exhausting, but it’s all for the greater good."
Fans on social media are now convinced that the actress is playing Wonder Woman, which means she'll take over the role from Justice League star Gal Gadot. Still, it might be wise to temper expectations, particularly as Gunn favours more obscure characters like Maxima over DC's heavy-hitters.
Still, when a fan called Arjona "Wonder Woman" during a recent Onslaught Q&A, the actress coyly replied, "Thank you, guys, so much for coming!" She's certainly not denying the rumours then, but her DCU role remains unconfirmed at this stage.
In Man of Tomorrow, Superman will be forced to team up with Lex Luthor to battle Brainiac, a threat not just to Metropolis but to the entire world.
Written and directed by James Gunn, the movie stars include David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr., Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Milly Alcock as Supergirl.
Andre Royo, Matthew Lillard, Sinqua Walls, and Adria Arjona will also star. However, as we mentioned above, we still don't know whether the latter is playing Maxima or Wonder Woman. There's also speculation that Eva De Dominici is playing one of the characters, and there's always a chance the Diana Prince rumblings don't pan out. We'll have to wait and see.
Man of Tomorrow arrives in theaters on July 9, 2027.
