James Gunn Says Adria Arjona Would ‘Be a Great Wonder Woman’

DC Studios head James Gunn may have revealed his first choice to play Wonder Woman.

In a recent interview with Extra, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” director discussed “Hit Man” star Adria Arjona and teased where he sees her fitting in to his revamped DC Universe.

“I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out [and thought], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,'” Gunn shared. “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”

“She was in a movie that I made seven years ago,” he added. “We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her.”

Earlier in June, Gunn told Entertainment Weekly that a new feature film following Wonder Woman is “being written right now.” He added that the movie would come in addition to an HBO series about Wonder Woman’s home of Themyscira. Gunn said that the TV project is “slow moving, but it’s moving.”

The Wonder Woman movie is only one of many feature films in development at DC Studios. “Superman,” written and directed by Gunn and starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, is set to release in July. “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is scheduled for release in June 2026, directed by Craig Gillespie. “Clayface,” a horror film and origin story of the titular Batman villain, is also in the works and set for release in September 2026. James Watkins is set to direct with a script from Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini.
