Adria Arjona to be Wonderman?

There’s significant buzz around actress Adria Arjona(Los Frikis, Andor) being a fan-favorite choice to play Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe (DCU). Here’s a concise overview:

  • Connection: Arjona and Gunn have a prior working relationship from the 2016 film The Belko Experiment, which Gunn wrote and produced. They’ve remained friends since, and Gunn has followed her on Instagram, sparking speculation among fans.
  • Wonder Woman Rumors: In a June 2025 interview with Extra, Gunn addressed rumors about casting Arjona as Wonder Woman after fans noticed his social media activity. He clarified that he followed her due to their past collaboration, not necessarily for casting, but added, “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.” This fueled further fan excitement.

  • Fan Support: Social media, particularly posts on X, shows strong fan support for Arjona as Wonder Woman, with comments like “Adria Arjona as Wonder Woman. I want it. We need it. Please James Gunn.” Her roles in Andor and Hit Man have bolstered her appeal for the action-heavy, charismatic role of Diana Prince.
  • Arjona’s Response: In an April 2025 CinemaBlend interview, Arjona expressed gratitude for Gunn, noting he gave her her first studio film role. When asked about the Wonder Woman speculation, she said, “I don’t know,” and crossed her fingers, indicating interest but no confirmation.

  • DCU Status: Gunn has confirmed a Wonder Woman movie is being written for the DCU, separate from the Paradise Lost HBO series, but no casting has been finalized. Arjona remains a popular fan choice due to her acting range, action experience, and connection with Gunn.

No official casting decision has been announced, and the Wonder Woman project is still in development. If you meant something else by “James Gunna Adira Arjona,” please clarify, and I’ll tailor the response!

Backlash?

DEI complaints have already hit social media in regards to this casting rumor. Some low thinking influencers believe this casting would be part of the DEI, “Check-box” mafia. Why is it these lazy arguments always follow Latino actors and not taking in their talent or career path that earns them a shot? Sign of the times.
