There’s a rumor circulating that Gunn might be considering Andor star Adria Arjona for the role of Wonder Woman, especially since he follows her on Instagram. However, Gunn clarified the situation:

“I follow Adria on Instagram but everyone jumped to the conclusion [and said], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,'” Gunn explained to Extra. “She was in a movie I did seven years ago. We’ve been friends ever since. I followed her back then, not recently.”

That being said, this isn’t meant to dismiss Arjona in any way, and Gunn even expressed support for her in the role:

“She’d make a fantastic Wonder Woman, by the way,” he added.

Ultimately, the casting decision is up to Gunn, but would he really go with someone who’s already been linked to the part publicly and has spoken about it openly? Usually, you’d say no—but with James Gunn, anything is possible.

Beyond the Instagram speculation, many people believe Arjona physically fits the image of Wonder Woman and could do well in the role. While she’s Puerto Rican rather than Greek, the same was true of Gal Gadot, the previous actress to play Diana.

Arjona is also dating Jason Momoa, a long-time DCEU actor who will now join the DCU as Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl film and beyond. Gunn has a tendency to cast people close to him, and with their reported “best friend” status—on top of the personal connection—it makes you wonder if he wouldn’t at least consider her for a role she's clearly suited for and that he’s already praised her for?

The DCU is shaping up to be a bold and transparent experiment under Gunn, quite unlike the MCU and its more reserved leader, Kevin Feige. Not that Feige is completely silent, but compared to Gunn, he’s practically secretive—Gunn seems to make headlines almost daily with updates, rumors, or denials.

This was only part of Gunn’s denial—specifically addressing the Instagram theory. But in doing so, he may have inadvertently hinted that Arjona could still be a serious contender for Wonder Woman.
