Speculation surrounding Adria Arjona's role in the upcoming DC Universe has intensified following the release of a workout video that fans believe is preparation for playing Wonder Woman. The actress, already confirmed to be part of the DCU's Man of Tomorrow, has become the focal point of fan theories.
Arjona was previously reported to be cast as Maxima, a deep cut from DC Comics lore. However, recent online activity has led many to believe her role will ultimately be that of Wonder Woman. This theory gained significant traction after a video from Women's Health showcased Arjona's rigorous boxing and strength training. While she stated the training was for her role in Onslaught, a segment featuring headlines about Wonder Woman rumors and her own comments has fueled the debate.
"I've never felt strong, but it's hard," Arjona stated in the video, as Wonder Woman-related headlines flashed on screen. "Well, I think the excitement of playing the woman I'm playing gives me everything I need to wake up. Physically, it's exhausting, but it's all for the better good. The greater good!" This statement, combined with the visual of her intense physical preparation, has sent fans into a frenzy.
Social media platforms are alight with fan declarations. "The woman I’m playing"
comments such as "Holy shit you are playing Wonder Woman" and "Really makes you wonder what woman she's playing" highlight the prevailing sentiment. Some fans even humorously suggested that all this training might be for Maxima, while others assert that Arjona possesses the ideal look for Diana Prince.
Adding fuel to the fire are past actions by DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn. In July 2025, Gunn began following Arjona on Instagram, an act that was initially dismissed but is now being re-examined. Gunn himself addressed similar rumors previously, stating, "She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way. But she was in a movie that I made seven years ago. We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her. People just notice these things all the time."
Despite Gunn's explanations, the continued secrecy surrounding Arjona's specific role, coupled with her apparent dedication to physical training and the fan consensus, keeps the Wonder Woman casting rumors alive. DC Studios has yet to officially confirm who will portray Wonder Woman in the new DCU. The studio's upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, is slated for release on July 9, 2027.
