Man Of Tomorrow Star Adria Arjona Dodges Wonder Woman Casting Question: "I'm Going To Go Now"

Adria Arjona will make her DCU debut in Man of Tomorrow, but will she suit up as Wonder Woman? Appearing at San Diego Comic-Con, the actress danced around the notion of her playing Diana Prince.

DC Studios isn't bringing Man of Tomorrow to Comic-Con this weekend. Clayface was briefly touched on during Jim Lee's panel yesterday, and Lanterns will be showcased later tonight, but that's likely it for the DCU in San Diego.

Adria Arjona is at the event, though, and dodged a question about rumours she's playing Wonder Woman in the 2027 Superman sequel.

"I'm going to go now," she says in the video below, where the actress is joined by Onslaught co-star Drew Starkey to promote Adam Wingard's new thriller. After jokingly walking off the set, Arjona continued to avoid addressing the speculation by instead praising filmmaker James Gunn. 

"I love James so much. Funny that you ask. me that, James gave me my first movie ever," the Andor star enthused. "The first movie I ever stepped on was a James Gunn and Peter Safran movie. They are family, and I am so happy to be part of the DC universe."

With Arjona stopping short of denying reports that she's playing Wonder Woman, the speculation will continue. It wouldn't be a bad idea to set the record straight sooner rather than later, as DC Studios runs the risk of disappointing fans if they get their hopes up to see the Amazon and she doesn't appear.

Man of Tomorrow is shaping up to be a very busy movie, though Brainiac attacking Earth does warrant the "Justice Gang" coming together to try and stop him. The focus is still expected to be primarily on Superman and Lex Luthor, though Gunn has somewhat muddied the waters by saying this isn't a sequel to his 2025 DCU movie.

As for the long-awaited Wonder Woman reboot, Ana Nogueira is writing the screenplay. It's unclear whether that's still the case after the largely negative reaction to Supergirl from fans and critics. 

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 about Eva De Dominici playing one of them, 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.

I did not know that The Belko Experiment was Adria’s first film which was written by Gunn and produced by him & Peter Safran so that’s cool…

?is=nSrVhmu6Sm8BTn6A

Anyway she would not be my choice for Diana but if she is cast as her (which I doubt and think she’s definitely just Maxima) , I would be willing to give her a shot in the role!!.

Also, she hasn't started filming yet as of the 23rd.

Longer she waits, more likely it's a cameo.

More likely it's a cameo, more likely it's WW.

Script still isn't ready, last I heard... but there is pressure to get the trinity out there...

I can't see Gunn having any time to do anything with a WW character before he gets booted next spring anyway, so the whole casting is kind of moot. Not a fan of this casting anyway, could do so much better I think.

I would prefer Melissa Barrera as Wonder Woman but I would be fine with this too.

Gunn is going to thro everything & everyone in this movie. Theres NO set up, No Explanation...just here you go Wonder Woman,Batman, Etc (no backstory or introductions) just to say he put them all in his shitty DC film. No reverence for the character. He makes all these mythical godlike characters look GOOFY & WACKY so the public will treat them the same way. Poor David Corenswet, could've been a pretty good iteration of Superman but Gunn turned him into a joke. The BIGGEST character in the DCU Gunn made him a whiny, easy to beat non hero in his own movies. Cant wait till Gunn/Safran are GONE & we can get some EPIC, CINEMATIC films again cuz this shit thats Gunn has to offer is so bad John Campea & Robert Burnette is asking wtf is going on??!!😂😂😂😂

@ClarkJoeKent -

I agree that the “new” DCFU is bad, but the SnyderVerse was bad too. I had MoS at 7/10 stars, Wonder Woman 8/10, ZSJL 4.5/10, and the rest all sh!tters 3/10 or worse. DC comics were my first comics love since the early-mid 60s, and now 2 DC movie universes have crapped the bed. Dammit!!!!

@ClarkJoeKent - I agree so some extent Mr Terrifics interactions with him appeared somewhat dismissive or disrespectful at times as if implying Superman is incompetent. Having to help him defeat the monster. And Superman would have been around long enough that there should be some respect. Or maybe it's simple playful rivalry.

@DocSpock - Zack Snyders DCU is MoS,BvS DIRECTORS CUT, Wonder Woman (1st Movie)Aquaman (1st Movie)Zack JLA the rest that came after are Walter Hamadas DCEU. MoS ages VERY WELL! EPIC feel. Was it perfect? No. Neither was Chris Reeves Superman that had 2 directors. But it is the BAR for Superman now. Zacks JLA is a 9 outta 10! The introduction of all the character's after the death of Superman was awesome. Wonder Woman's Scene,The Flash Scene, Cyborg (The heart of the movie) Aquaman & the Themesecyria fight scene..so much dope visuals. Keep in mind its the directors cut so theres scene that could be done without but all in all its AWESOME! Great story, Great Costumes, Great Cast, Great Cinematography, Great Theme music for EVERY CHARACTER that entered the scene...Darksdeid, Granny Goodness...All done without the goofy, wacky BULLSHIT GUNN DC HAS!

@hue66 - I cant watch Gunns Superman twice..its that bad. Ma & Pa Kent in this movie was the worst iteration ever seen on screen!! His story is that of a VILTRAMITE?!! The ONLY thing that I liked in this film was that the fortress came out of the ground. Everything was BAD!! This was supposed to be a SUPERMAN MOVIE it felt like a cosplay or something weaker than a CW Show. I see why Gunn CANCELLED The CW Lois &Clark Show....cant have a CW Show Superman be better than his movie version.

@DocSpock - Zack Snyders first 3 DCU Films made over $5 BILLION DOLLARS. Marvel 1st 3 made $2.5 billion. I didn't watch any of these films till after Gunns Superman on HBOMAX & next to Gunns DC Zacks DCU looks by far superior. Looks like they took their time & had vision. I listen to. critics & ppl comments that Zacks DC was bad...no it wasn't. Seems like a hit job against Zack. Especially when his films are MoS, Wonder Woman 1,Aquaman 1,BvS Directors Cut & Zacks JLA. The rest is Walter Hamadas DCEU. Trying to copy Marvel.

@ClarkJoeKent -

I agree with a lot of what you say, but ZSJL at 9/10 is ridiculous for that average at best movie.

DocSpock - 7/24/2026, 10:05 AM
@ClarkJoeKent -

They did not make 5B. More like 2.2

@DocSpock - ZSJL at a 4.5/10? What were you watching????

J0RELLC00LJ - 7/24/2026, 12:33 PM
@DocSpock - I agree that 9's high, I wouldn't go over a 7, tbh... and that's acknowledging WW as the 8 you give it. Joss Whedon's JL attempt, that's a 4.5 for sure.
I've said it many times, I like Zack's visual style (slo-mo n all) but he needs a stronger editor, someone not afraid to back down on some of his dumber ideas... Pa Kent dying by tornado, killing Jimmy Olsen no sooner than we meet him, etc. Gunns made mistakes too, but I'm trying to roll with it seeing as he is the one f**king this chicken right now, lol

@ClarkJoeKent - I've tried watching Gunns Supes a few more times as well, yeah the Kents portrayal bugs me, but for me it's the music. But, I'm spoiled to the heroic majesty of John Williams scores. Junkie XL rocked as well btw

The bad movie you are referring to.

@J0RELLC00LJ - @FireGunn -

Yes. My point is that both Snyder and Gunn have sh!t the bed with their versions of the DCFU. Both are bad. But there are a small but very vocal minority of SnyderVerse worshippers.

My favorite part of Man of Steel was the outstanding villain and the incredible fight scenes. I think Snyder is a Michael Bay type director. He should be a fantastic FX guy instead of a bad CBM franchise honcho and a mostly lousy director. The best thing he ever did was Watchmen, and it's all been downhill since then.

@J0RELLC00LJ - Jimmy Olsen position in the real world IDGAF about. Killing Jimmy was cool. He wasn't the Jimmy from the comics hes a CIA SPY who went with Lois to make a deal with terrorist. Pa Kent dying shows how he didn't want a teenaged Clark exposing himself to the government to save his life. It was to show the gravity of the decision to come out as Superboy etc... Zacks slo mo style is his style. Like Gunns needle drop music either you like it or you dont Zack vison is stylized. I understand your view though but I loved it personally. Those movies was written by David Goyer & Chris Terrio. Zack just directed them. Gunn writes & directs his DC films.

J0RELLC00LJ - 7/24/2026, 8:36 PM
@DocSpock - totally agree with most of what you said. 300, Watchmen, MoS, probably in that order for me... with a soft spot for his Dawn of the Dead remake (with a screenplay by Gunn I found out much later).

Now, after 13-ish years, maybe I need to change my avatar so I don't get raked in with that very vocal minority of worshippers. lol Hell, I only use the name cause it's my gamertag on about everything for about forever.

@J0RELLC00LJ -

I liked those also. When I was still reviewing, I gave Watchmen 9.5/10, 300 8/10, MoS 7/10. I consider most of his other stuff from bad to terrible.

At this point I think almost everything is on the chopping block. Superman was meh, and Supergirl just sucked. DC can't afford to damage their brand any more.

Pretty sure she's just playing Maxima as the trades reported, but since DC Studios hasn't publicly stated her role she's being smart keeping her mouth shut on it.

All that deflection means IMO that she is Wonder Woman. It could turn in the long run into another Sadie Sink situation as it is in Brand New Day.
