UPDATE 2: Though the outlet stops short of confirming anything outright, Forbes has referred to Arjona's (potential) Wonder Woman casting as the "worst-kept secret in the industry."
The site also believes that the cat will be officially let out of the bag before Man of Tomorrow's release, adding: "The potential Wonder Woman will only be in a few scenes of Man of Tomorrow, an introduction, not a true partnership."
Some of this report could be speculative, but Forbes has published similar pieces in the past shortly before official announcements or trade confirmation.
UPDATE: "How do I answer this without f*cking myself?"
We now have a clip from a new video interview with Arjona, in which she's asked what scared her most about joining the DCU in Man of Tomorrow.
Clearly, the Onslaught star has been told not to discuss her character (the trades are still claiming it's Maxima), and steers her answer towards feeling comfortable about reteaming with James Gunn and Peter Safran after working with them on The Belko Experiment.
Original story follows.
If Adria Arjona is playing Maxima in Man of Tomorrow, she should have no problem clarifying her role... right?
The Andor star is believed to be playing the powerful villain in James Gunn's Superman sequel, but speculation continues to mount that she has actually been cast as the DCU's Wonder Woman.
While speaking to Screen Rant, Arjona "wasn’t able to clarify her Man of Tomorrow character." This has only added more fuel to the fire, and fans are more convinced than ever that she's actually playing Diana.
Whoever Arjona is playing in the movie, she has gotten into tremendous shape for the role.
“I have muscles that I've never had in my life. I'm training two to three hours a day on a crazy diet. Drinking coffee is the only thing that keeps me up. And I’m really excited!”
Arjona did share her excitement about reuniting with DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran, who cast her in 2016's The Belko Experiment.
“I'm excited to be reunited with the family that started everything for me, which is Peter Safran and James Gunn. They gave me my first movie. I wouldn't have done any of the movies that we've spoken about today if not for them. I wouldn't be in Andor if it hadn't been for Peter Safran and James Gunn, so it feels really f--king cool and really exciting to reunite with that team and to be in that family. And that's all I'm going to tell you!”
Do you think Arjona is really playing Wonder Woman? Let us know in the comments.
The plot of MOT will focus on the Man of Steel (Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) putting their differences aside and joining forces to defend the planet against Brainiac (Lars Eidinger).
Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), and Maria Gabriella de Faria (The Engineer) have all been confirmed to return, and we recently learned that Aaron Pierre will reprise his Lanterns role as John Stewart.
Xolo Maridueña has also been confirmed to reprise the role of Blue Beetle.
"At its core, it’s about Clark and Lex," Gunn said in a recent interview. "I relate to both of them. I relate to Lex’s ambition and obsession — minus the murder. And I relate to Superman’s belief in people, his Midwestern values. They’re two sides of me."
Man of Tomorrow will hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
