Is Adria Arjona officially playing Wonder Woman? James Gunn gives his thoughts on the biggest rumor about the cast of the DC Universe.
Ever since James Gunn took to Youtube to announce the upcoming slate for the new DC Universe, one question was on everyone’s mind: who would be playing Wonder Woman? Gal Gadot was an almost ever-present aspect of the last shot at making the franchise work. And, up until recently, fans didn’t even know if a Wonder Woman project was in development.
This left the internet running wild with speculation about who James Gunn could cast as Wonder Woman. There were probably hundreds of names thrown out about who could play the DC Universe’s Princess of Power, including May Calamawy and Claudia Doumit. However, perhaps no name was more prevailing than Andor star Adria Arjona.
Is Adria Arjona Cast As Wonder Woman?
Given how much fans wanted to see her cast, the internet jumped on the discovery that James Gunn was following Adria Arjona on Instagram. This led many to conclude that she was a lock for the role of Wonder Woman in the DC Universe. However, according to Gunn himself, things are much more simple than some people believe- even if he thinks that Arjona would make a great Wonder Woman.
“You know, I follow Adria on Instagram, and everyone came out, ‘He just followed her. That means she’s Wonder Woman,” Gunn remarked to ExtraTV. “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way. But she was in a movie I made, seven years ago. We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. So I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her.”
Of course, it makes sense that the internet sleuths were off with this one. It’s likely that James Gunn wouldn’t even cast Wonder Woman without a finalized script, anyways. However, his comments about Adria Arjona suggest that she may at least be on his radar for playing the character when the time comes. So DC Universe fans may still need to keep their eyes out!
