- Quick Answer: James Gunn confirmed Frank Grillo's repost was an accident, maintaining that Adria Arjona’s exact Man of Tomorrow role remains an unannounced DCU secret.
James Gunn has responded to claims that Man of Tomorrow star Frank Grillo seemingly confirmed that Adria Arjona would be the DC Universe’s Wonder Woman.
There have been constant rumors that Arjona will be the new Diana Prince following Gal Gadot. The actress herself even wagered $500 that she would be playing the mysterious role in the Superman sequel.
But with Gunn himself and DC Studios remaining mum about her character, does Frank Grillo actually know Arjona’s Man of Tomorrow role?
James Gunn Reacts to Frank Grillo’s Adria Arjona Reveal
It all started when Frank Grillo reshared a fan-made poster for the upcoming Man of Tomorrow.
The image features several DC Universe heroes, from Superman (David Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) to Supergirl (Milly Alcock) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), among others.
But if there’s one character that fans quickly noticed, it’s Adria Arjona dressed as Wonder Woman.
Of course, as expected, many fans saw this as a major spoiler that the 34-year-old actress will indeed play the Champion of the Amazons, despite the lack of confirmation from DC Studios and James Gunn.
Gunn himself has been responding to most of the rumors and theories on social media, and he didn’t let this one slide.
When one fan asked the director if Grillo’s post of the Man of Tomorrow lineup was a subtle tease of Arjona’s role, he stressed that it was just a simple repost.
“It's Frank reposting somebody because it has his photo in it and he loves himself,” he wrote on Threads. “I can assure you Frank doesn't know who Adria is playing in the DCU and whether or not she has any sort of incredibly small cameo in MoT or not.”
He also said that people were “making way too much” of Arjona’s mysterious role. However, as Gunn neither confirmed nor denied whether the Andor star would be the DCU’s Wonder Woman, it looks like fans will never stop theorizing.
What Role Will Adria Arjona Play in Man of Tomorrow?
Ever since Adria Arjona was cast in Man of Tomorrow, there have been nonstop rumors that she might play Wonder Woman.
However, there are also theories that she could be the alien queen Maxima, hinting that she could be the villain, too.
In fact, she even teased her training in a post on social media, which only proved that she could be playing a major role.
And to play with the assumptions, in one interview, she even joked that she left her “lasso of truth,” which is Wonder Woman’s signature magical weapon, at home.
So, with Frank Grillo sharing the Man of Tomorrow poster featuring several DC heroes, such as Mr. Terrific, John Stewart, Hawkgirl, Superman, Lex Luthor, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and Rick Flag Sr., it may really mean something, unless it was an honest mistake and he didn’t notice that Arjona was dressed as Wonder Woman in it.
Man of Tomorrow is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 9, 2027.
