With DC Studios developing a new Wonder Woman film under James Gunn's creative direction, fans eagerly await news about who might replace Gal Gadot as the iconic Amazonian warrior in the rebooted DC Universe.
Social media habits have become an unexpected source of casting speculation, with Gunn's Instagram follows drawing particular attention. This scrutiny now extends to Adria Arjona, whose sudden appearance in Gunn's following list has sparked theories about her potential casting.
During an interview with Extra, Gunn playfully dodged direct questions about Arjona's potential casting when asked if his Instagram follows hinted at casting decisions. With a characteristic smirk, he quipped, "50%," then directly addressed the circulating rumors about the Puerto Rican actress.
Arjona's impressive resume includes roles across popular franchises - from NBC's Emerald City to Amazon's Good Omens and Disney+'s Andor. The speculation intensified after eagle-eyed fans noticed Gunn following her account.
The Guardians of the Galaxy director explained their professional connection dates back to 2016's The Belko Experiment, dismissing the notion that his social media activity indicates casting decisions. Yet his offhand compliment that Arjona "would be a great Wonder Woman" has only added fuel to the fire.

Gunn provided more context about the situation:
"I followed Adria Arjona on Instagram, but everybody came out, 'He just followed her, that means she's Wonder Woman! That means she's Wonder Woman!'"
"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."
While Gunn's comments neither confirm nor deny the casting rumors, his phrasing has certainly kept speculation alive. DC Studios remains tight-lipped about official casting decisions for the character as they focus on launching their new cinematic universe.
The revamped DCU officially begins with this month's Superman reboot, followed by Peacemaker Season 2 in August. Future projects include Supergirl and Clayface slated for 2026, with Wonder Woman's return still awaiting a confirmed timeline.
