Wonder Woman: Eva De Dominici Fuels Speculation That She's Been Cast As The DCU's Diana With Insta Post

Eva De Dominici, who was said to be in the running to play Maxima in Man of Tomorrow, has fueled speculation that she has actually been cast as Wonder Woman...

Last month, a rumor did the rounds online that Eva De Dominici (The Cleaning Lady, Under the Stars) was in talks for the role of Maxima in James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow, and the trades recently confirmed that she did indeed test for the part along with Adria Arjona (Andor), Sydney Chandler (Alien: Earth) and Grace Van Patten (Tell Me Lies).

We recently learned that Arjona has been cast in the Superman sequel, but is there a chance De Dominici is also set to join the DCU?

The Argentinian model turned actress shared a training video to Instagram, and the emojis she added to her post - a woman with crossed arms and a pair of crossed swords - have led to speculation that she may have been cast as Wonder Woman, while Arjona will play Maxima.

The emojis do seem very specific, but she could simply be leaning into the rumors here.

Here's what De Dominici had to say when asked about the Man of Tomorrow rumors during a recent interview.

“I would love to work with James Gunn. That’s the only thing… I’m a big fan… and at some point I’d love to play a superhero. It’s one of my dreams.”

What do you make of this post? Are people reading too much into it? Let us know what you think in the comments.

The plot of Gunn's Superman follow-up will focus on the Man of Steel (Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (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.

Adria Arjona is also set to appear as Maxima (though there's a lot of speculation that she's actually been cast as Wonder Woman).

"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.

If true! Good choice! Wonder Woman will finally be close to her comic roots. Italian actress would be perfect!

They're both in it but it's just a matter of which one is who.

@MCUKnight11 - what makes you think she’s in MOT?.

Also I’m thinking Adria is definitely Maxima tbh.

Genius self-promotion tactic:
"Is [no name actress you've never heard of] hinting that she's playing [character everyone likes]? Who knows! Go look up her career history and learn her name to boost her career!"

@InfinitePunches - and because Paradise Lost is about an entire island of hot women this isn't going to hurt her chances.

In fact, I'd be more surprised if she DIDN'T get a role. I'm just not sure it's Diana...

Yeah , I don’t think Diana has been cast yet and this is likely Eva just campaigning for the role but we’ll see…

I’m still holding out hope for Monica Barbaro to be the DCU’s Wonder Woman honestly!!.

Eva would be great in the role, but it might just be for one of the MANY roles being cast for 'PARADISE LOST' (which is back in development).

TheVisionary25 - 5/1/2026, 6:25 PM
@JackDeth - that definitely seems like a possibility…

Good thinking!!.

She is fine as can be. Looks the part if she can put on a little muscle. Lets see...

Not terrible looking. I wouldn’t be made if Adria got the role either. Honestly my biggest requirement for WW is that she’s hot.

@MuadDib - And if she's going to have an accent at least don't be the only person from Themyscira that sounds that way.It was so noticeable in the Synderverse.

She looks the part. Doesn't matter though because the Gunnverse is ass.

Shes still too damn short, has Wondy been sprinkled with Pym Particles?

Paradise Lost is in "extreme development" so Eva De Dominici being in the mix for a role is a no-brainer.

Whether that role is Diana... Isn't Paradise Lost supposed to be a prequel?
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 5/2/2026, 2:30 AM
@UltimaRex - It is. And when you mention all of this then it's possible she could be trying to get the attention for any Amazonian role in said prequel, if it does get the official greenlit to go into production.

She looks the part. Gal also looked good but couldn't act for shit under Snyder (much better under Jenkins).
