Man Of Tomorrow Star Adria Arjona Shares Workout Video - But Does It Reveal Her DCU Role?

Man of Tomorrow star Adria Arjona has shared a new workout video as she prepares for the upcoming Superman sequel, and many fans are convinced that it's confirmed who she's playing in the DCU.

Cameras are now rolling on DC Studios' Man of Tomorrow, and as much excitement as there is to see Brainiac or Lex Luthor's Warsuit, Adria Arjona's mystery DCU role is currently the biggest talking point.

Two of the trades believe she's playing Maxima, while the other two are less certain and have hinted at Wonder Woman being a possibility. The Andor actress is a fan-favourite choice for Diana Prince, and if she does end up being Maxima, many fans will be disappointed. 

While we await confirmation, workout footage and a photo of Arjona in training for James Gunn's Superman sequel have hit social media over the past 24 hours. Whoever the actress ends up playing, it's clear that she's in superhero shape. 

Some have theorised that what looks like a slightly red tinge to Arjona's hair is all the confirmation needed to say she's playing Maxima. Others, meanwhile, have argued that those people are reading too much into it. 

Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira is penning the Wonder Woman reboot, which we've heard is being fast-tracked by DC Studios. Introducing Diana in Man of Tomorrow would make sense, and casting such a firm favourite for the Amazon Warrior would win Gunn a lot of supporters. 

With Eva De Dominici hinting that she's been cast in the movie, it seems likely that Arjona is Wonder Woman and that The Cleaning Lady star will take on the role of Maxima, a supporting villain we expect to be in league with Brainiac. 

"I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out [and thought], 'He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,'" Gunn said last summer. "She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way."

Check out Arjona's Man of Tomorrow workout posts below. 

In Man of Tomorrow, Superman will be forced to team up with Lex Luthor to battle Brainiac, a threat not just to Metropolis but the entire world. 

Written and directed by James Gunn, previously announced stars include David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr., Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.

Adria Arjona and Andre Royo recently joined the cast, though we still don't know for sure whether the former is playing Maxima or Wonder Woman. 

Man of Tomorrow arrives in theaters on July 9, 2027.

People really trying to cast roles off a [frick]ing gym video…

Production literally just started, Gunn hasn’t confirmed the character, and the only actual facts we have are:
– She’s been cast
– She’s training (like every lead does)
– The trades don’t even agree on who she’s [frick]ing playing

Hair tint and workouts aren’t confirmations, they’re [frick]ing guesses.

Wait for the official reveal instead of building theories off [frick]ing Instagram clips.

@SteviesRightFoo - It's halarious that people think any of these people have any talent to begin with, if she doesn't succeed in pedowood then she should apply at nasa. That moon farce was laughable, I seen better CGI in Avengers movies.

If this is all for Maxima, then her talents and time will be wasted. But if it is indeed for Maxima then it'd be hilarious to see all the dudes that were thirsting over her implode about it because her time will be extremely limited.

On the other hand if she is actually playing WW meaning she gets to stay for the long run of the DCU the eventual "nepo points" arguments could surface given Momoa, her boyfriend, is Lobo in the DCU.

Never thought something as simple as this could have so many unexpected cons, geez.

Amusing still.

@NinnesMBC - there's a rumour that Maxima will also be in whatever Superman saga part 3 is.

And we know Maxima also joins the JL.

So that's at least three movies right there.

I think it’d be in their best interest to make some kind of Wonder Woman announcement and generate some energy. The DCU has zero buzz at the moment surrounding this thing.
UltimaRex
UltimaRex - 4/24/2026, 5:08 AM
@TheExile117 - they'll do that once they have a script.

And have actually cast Wonder Woman.

Jason Mamoa's step daughter is Catwoman
His Girl friend might be Wonder Woman
..and his son is Leto Artedies II....all at Warner Brothers

wait a second...I have a feeling Jason Mamoa is using his influence to get his friends and family acting jobs.

I get what Gunn is trying to do with rebooting DC, but so far the casting just hasn’t really inspired a lot of confidence. It feels less like he’s building something iconic and more like he’s putting together a lineup of “good enough” picks that don’t quite match the weight of these characters. A lot of the choices lean toward lesser-known or safe actors, which isn’t automatically a bad thing, but when you’re relaunching something as big as DC, you kind of want that sense of presence or people who immediately feel like they "are" the character.

Instead, a lot of this casting feels like it’s missing that gravitas. It’s hard to point to any one pick and say, “yeah, that’s THE definitive version going forward.” It almost comes across like the focus is more on fitting a certain tone or working within Gunn’s style rather than locking in actors who can carry these roles for the long haul.

The Adria Arjona rumors or possibility just feel like more of the same. She’s a solid actress, no issue there, but it doesn’t exactly feel like a bold or exciting choice for a major DC role either. It’s another example where the reaction is kind of…neutral. Not bad, not great—just not something that makes you feel like the DC universe is leveling up.

Maybe it all comes together once we actually see the performances, but right now the casting just doesn’t have that “this is special” energy that you’d hope for with a full reboot.

@BadgerThorkin - The majority of the public had zero idea who Christopher Reeves was before Superman. I thought the majority of James Gunn’s casting in Superman was spot on and if he didn’t have to spend a lot of money to sign that’s good for a studio that has had a lot of debt.

@BadgerThorkin - Gunn is a script first guy. As long as the actors can act (Cavill and Gadot sure as hell cant for example) and he has solid scripts, we are getting good films. Pratt became a superstar through that process
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 4/23/2026, 5:42 PM
Dat back is looking good , Adria!!.

While I certainly wouldn’t mind her as WW , I definitely think she’s paying Maxima…

If so then people complaining about Gunn wasting her or whatever is stupid & premature since we don’t know what his plans for the character or if she’s even a one-off or not since she could end up being recurring like Nebula (the comic version has went from villain to hero etc).

Anyway , can’t wait to see MOT since Superman 2025 was solid imo!!.

I feel like if they cast her as Diana it's gonna be a lighter hearted WonderWoman where she will be more darling and witty, which I think will work better in the long run.
