The new era of James Gunn’s DC universe is gearing up with the release of Superman. However, is the DC chief already considering his next superhero project?

For weeks, enthusiasts have been buzzing with the idea that Gunn might choose Adria Arjona, known for her roles in Andor and Hit Man, as the next Wonder Woman, potentially succeeding Gal Gadot. Although Gunn has dismissed this theory, he still hinted at the possibility by commenting that Arjona would be “great” as Diana Prince.

In a conversation with Extra TV, Gunn was inquired how much significance fans should place in his social media follow of Arjona. He was asked, “What are the likelihoods that this person could be Wonder Woman?”

“50%,” Gunn jokingly responded, before dismissing the question. He addressed the casting rumors head-on, noting that he has been following Arjona since working with her on the 2016 film The Belko Experiment.

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

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

Gunn wrote The Belko Experiment, a horror film about a normal day in the office that takes a turn when the employees are forced to kill or be killed as part of a deadly game. Gunn and his DC partner Peter Safran produced the film together, with Greg McLean directing. Arjona starred as the primary love interest.

Arjona recently praised Gunn in an interview with CinemaBlend when she noted that The Belko Experiment was her first studio movie. “I love James Gunn,” she said. “He gave me my first movie ever, which was like my first studio movie, so I owe him a lot.”

When asked if there was any truth to the Wonder Woman casting rumors, Arjona crossed her fingers and said, “I don’t know.”

Gunn recently confirmed Wonder Woman is being written “right now,” noting the developing film is also separate from the Paradise Lost HBO/Max series which he described as “slow moving, but it’s moving,” per Entertainment Weekly.
