- Quick Answer: Adria Arjona bet $500 on a podcast that she will donate to charity if she plays Wonder Woman in Man of Tomorrow, or the host will if she plays Maxima.
Adria Arjona has waged a bet over her rumored casting as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow.
The Andor star is one of the new casting additions to the DCU film, which recently wrapped production. However, details regarding her role are still under wraps, and there have been rumors online that she might play either Wonder Woman or Maxima.
Now, the actress has turned the fan speculation into a charity bet.
Is Adria Arjona Playing Wonder Woman in Man of Tomorrow? Actress Places Bet
In a recent interview on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Adria Arjona was grilled about her secret role in Man of Tomorrow.
When Horowitz brought up Maxima, the actress responded, "Could be. I’m sworn to secrecy, and I don’t like secrets. I hate secrets. I’m so bad at them."
However, when Horowitz brought up that Jason Momoa initially denied to him at first that he was playing Aquaman, he tried to turn the speculation into a bet.
"I’ll bet you $500 you are playing Wonder Woman," he said.
Arjona was open to the idea, so she suggested to the host, "And what about Maxima? You’ve got to give one for one."
Horowitz and Arjona ended up waging a bet. If the actress ends up playing Wonder Woman in Man of Tomorrow, she will donate $500 to a charity. If she plays Maxima, Horowitz will donate.
While this bet doesn't necessarily confirm the actress's role in the upcoming DCU film, it is still an interesting situation for fans to see this since it heats up the speculation, and she is now playing along with the discourse surrounding her secret role.
Now, let's wait and see which of the two will end up prevailing in their bet.

Man of Tomorrow will serve as the fourth feature film in the DCU franchise. It is slated for release in theaters on July 9, 2027.
