Get ready to have your mind blown, DC fans! The iconic Wonder Woman might be getting a brand-new face in the DC Universe, and the rumored choice is already sparking excitement and debate. According to the latest buzz, DC Studios CEO James Gunn has reportedly set his sights on Andor star Adria Arjona to wield the Lasso of Truth in the upcoming DCU. But here's where it gets controversial: is Arjona the perfect fit, or are fans missing out on other talented contenders like Eiza González or Alexandra Daddario? Let’s dive in.
Over two years have passed since Gal Gadot last graced the screen as the Amazonian warrior in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash, leaving fans eagerly speculating about her successor. Enter Deuxmoi, the source behind this juicy rumor, claiming Arjona is Gunn’s “number one choice.” This wouldn’t be Arjona’s first rodeo in the superhero world—she previously appeared in Sony’s 2022 Marvel film Morbius. But does her experience give her the edge? And this is the part most people miss: DC Studios is reportedly seeking an actress in her 20s, tall, and with actual fighting skills. Does Arjona check all those boxes? Only time will tell.
The timing of this rumor is no coincidence. It follows reports that Gunn plans to introduce Wonder Woman in the highly anticipated Superman sequel, slated for 2026. Since then, fan theories have been running wild, with Arjona, González, and Daddario leading the fancast wishlist. Meanwhile, Gunn confirmed last year that the new Wonder Woman movie is already in the works, with Supergirl scribe Ana Nogueira penning the script. Talk about a powerhouse team!
But let’s zoom out for a second. DC Studios is on a roll. Fresh off the critical and commercial success of Superman (2025), they’re gearing up for a packed 2026 lineup, including Supergirl (June 26) and Clayface (October 23). Plus, the new DCU series Lanterns is set to debut later this year on HBO and HBO Max. With so much in the pipeline, the stakes for Wonder Woman’s casting feel higher than ever.
Here’s the million-dollar question: Is Adria Arjona the right choice to carry the legacy of Wonder Woman, or should DC Studios look elsewhere? Share your thoughts in the comments—we want to hear your take! Whether you’re Team Arjona or rooting for another actress, one thing’s for sure: the DCU’s future is looking brighter (and more debated) than ever.
