With James Gunn rebooting the DCU with Superman, a lot of fans have been pitching online who they want to play the new heroes alongside David Corenswet; and one name that keeps popping up is Adrian Arjona for Wonder Woman.
Fans have noticed that Gunn actually followed Arjona on social media which then lead them to believe that she was going to be in the DCU soon, but Gunn has revealed that he’s actually followed her from way back and not just because she’s coming over to DC.
In an interview with Extra (via @DaveTheAnodite), Gunn says: “I follow Adria on Instagram but everybody came out [and said], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,’… 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.”

For context, the movie that Gunn and Arjona worked on was The Belko Experiment. Gunn didn’t direct that film, but he did provide the script; and like other Gunn films, his brother Sean was also in the movie.
Going back to the idea of Arjona as Diana of Themyscira, though this wasn’t confirmation that Arjona was going to be the next WW, Gunn did say, “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”
For now, it’s unclear where Gunn and his co-head Peter Safran want to go with the DCU. We know that ‘Elseworlds’ are going to exist thanks to The Batman Part II; but as for the main timeline, we only see as far as Supergirl.
Hopefully the release of Superman will give us a clearer picture as fans. Watch out for the movie when it comes to cinemas on July 11.
