James Gunn Hints Adria Arjona Could Be New Wonder Woman

James Gunn always knows how to keep DC fans guessing. Lately, he dropped a hint that has everyone watching Adria Arjona’s next move a little closer. In a chat with Extra, Gunn talked about the Hit Man star and didn’t hold back saying she’d make a “great Wonder Woman.”

It didn’t take long for people to start connecting dots. Gunn follows Adria on Instagram. That tiny move was enough to send rumor mills spinning. But Gunn cleared it up quick. He’s followed her for years. They go way back to a movie they worked on together seven years ago. Still, hearing the head of DC Studios praise her like that got fans fired up.

Why Does Gunn Like Adria For The Role?

Gunn knows talent when he sees it. He called Adria a friend and made it clear he’s watched her grow as an actor. For fans, she checks a lot of boxes too. She’s got that strong screen presence, but also a warmth that fits the Amazon warrior’s vibe.

Wonder Woman is no small role. You need someone who can swing a sword and stand toe-to-toe with Superman, but also bring out Diana’s empathy and wisdom. Gunn saying Adria would be “great” is not a small compliment.

What’s Next For Wonder Woman In DC?

Right now, DC’s big screen and streaming plans are packed. Gunn said a new Wonder Woman film is already being written. That’s not all. There’s an HBO show in the works too, focusing on Themyscira, the legendary home of the Amazons. Gunn admits the show is “slow moving,” but it’s not dead.

So, Adria Arjona stepping into Diana’s boots is still just a “what if.” But it’s a fun one. DC has Superman coming up next July, with David Corenswet wearing the cape. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow lands in 2026, and even Clayface — a horror spin on a Batman villain — is lined up.

For now, fans will keep watching Gunn’s Instagram follows and replays of that interview, hoping for more hints about who gets to wear Wonder Woman’s crown next.
