WONDER WOMAN: Adria Arjona Rumored To Be James Gunn's "No. 1 Choice" To Play The DCU's Diana

Adria Arjona is a popular fan-pick to play Wonder Woman, and a new rumor claims that the Andor star is indeed on James Gunn's radar to play the DCU's Diana...

Andor and Hit Man star Adria Arjona has been a popular fan-pick to play the DCU's new Wonder Woman for a while, and it sounds like DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn may be in agreement.

According to DeuxMoi, Arjona is Gunn's "No. 1 choice" to play our next big-screen take on Diana in the movie that's currently in development from Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira (as far as we know, no director is attached).

DeuxMoi is primarily known for sharing celebrity gossip, but the account has posted some movie-related scoops that have turned out to be accurate in the past. They first mentioned that Barry Keoghan was being considered for the Joker role in Matt Reeves' The Batman, and that Lady Gaga was up for Harley Quinn in the Joker sequel, so there might well be some truth to this.

Here's what Gunn had to say about potentially casting Arjona as Diana last year.

“I follow Adria on Instagram but everybody came out [and said], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman. She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.” Gunn continued, “She was in a movie that I made seven years ago. We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her.”

Of course, even if Gunn is considering Arjona for the Wonder Woman role, there's nothing to say that she's actually in talks or will ultimately land the gig - although the actress does seem interested in suiting-up as the iconic Amazonian hero.

While signing autographs at the Mexico City premiere of A Minecraft Movie last year, Arjona was asked about the "rumor" that she might be in line to play Wonder Woman. The actress shrugged, before gesturing to her phone and asking fans to "write about it... help me" (loosely translated).

During a 2025 interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn responded to a report that Wonder Woman is being "fast-tracked," and while he somewhat downplayed the notion that the project is anywhere close to entering production, he did confirm that the movie is a priority for DC Studios.

"I don’t know what they mean by fast-tracking. [Laughs.] I’ve always had Wonder Woman as a priority. But we got the first few things started, and there’s some other things that are really close to green-lighting — like there’s a television show that I hope that we’re gonna be green-lighting in the next few days. So now a little time has passed, and we really need Wonder Woman and we really need Batman, because they’re so important to us. And so it’s become a little bit more like going to everybody at DC and being like, we need to figure this out. We have good writers on Wonder Woman and we just have to make sure it’s working and they have to not be somebody who’s gonna take two years to write a script."

She looks hot in that pic but I haven’t seen her in anything.

As a side note, what’s the saying?

@Kadara - I like Gal. She’s not an amazing actress buts she charming and gorgeous and her smile is adorable. That said, they need to recast everyone or no one and they already recast Supes, so we need a new WW

@Bucky74 - 170m loss sure, how much profit has Zootopia 2 and Avatar made? 170m is like a dollar lmao

@bobevanz - Are you a shareholder? A Disney CEO? Why are you shilling for a multi billion dollar company? Many of their last few Marvel films lost money too but this is about one specific movie.

@Bucky74 - I bet you have. She’s been in a lot of stuff I’ve rewatched and said “oh, it’s her.”

She’s not a huge name but she’s actually been in a lot of stuff in supporting roles.

@thewanderer - I mean, she’s definitely hot, which is a prerequisite for WW, lol.

@AlexGSpeaks - Do you have me confused with someone else? I never said anything about her being Latina. I love Latino woman, lol. Although, now that you mention it, a Greek actress would be cool, but as long as she looks the part, and can act, it can work.

@jst5 - I love that you have Supes in front of the flag as your pic. Raised in Kansas, created by two Jewish immigrants, he’s as American as Apple pie.

I’ve only seen her in hit man (glen powell, Netflix) which aside from a few clever bits was a terrible movie, imo. So hard to say if she’s good despite that movie or she was part of the problem.

@LenSpiderman - I didn't like Hit Man either... massively overrated. As is Powell in general.

@MarkCassidy - I don’t like Powell at all. He’s meant to play a douchebag not a hero

@LenSpiderman - overrated movie. I couldn't finish it.
JusticeL
JusticeL - 2/15/2026, 1:21 PM
@MarkCassidy - ditto.
LenSpiderman
LenSpiderman - 2/15/2026, 4:50 PM
@JusticeL - that was the most unfortunate part for me, so you dodged a bullet. I won’t post spoilers here but my thought was basically, “are you f—king serious? Do the people who made this movie not realize what they just did with this story and these characters?” Not that I was enjoying any of it anyway but it just quickly got so much worse in that final act.

@WhatIfRickJames - Powell is the male version of Jennifer Lawrence.Badly overexposed actor and damn near in everything and it's never good .Both are simply not good actors.

@WhatIfRickJames - He’s pretty good in the running man and top gun maverick I like him.

@SuperClark - running man was one of the movies I truly disliked The dude in. He usually plays the charming douchebag type and he does that pretty well, but I didn’t believe him as the tough, angry character in Running Man AT ALL.

I just know her from Hitman. She was fine in it, but to be fair that isn’t her fault. Everything about Hitman was fine.

@MrDandy - the only 'fine' thing about Hitman was her.

Fan casting fans never bet pick her for Wonder Woman

Not the worst choice but I would lowkey prefer someone a little younger (easier to pull off the whole "immortal" look visually), also having someone 5'11'+ fits the Amazon aesthetic better as well imo.

@Biggums - The post doesn't really have much to do with Momoa banging this chick. It's more about Gunn being buddies with Momoa so he gives the girl the job without considering other candidates.
He's very nepotistic.

@Feralwookiee @soberchimera @HelloBoysImBack - So is Paul Thomas Anderson, Scorsese, Coppola, Nolan, Woody Allen, Burton. You guys really need a hobby.

@RolandD - The difference is Scorese and Nolan are on a different level than Gunn, so I let them slide. 😁
