Adria Arjona has reportedly landed the Wonder Woman role in the DC Universe, but the news carries a warning. The latest round of leadership changes at DC Studios has left her status undecided, and the studio could still swap her out without public fallout, since the role was never officially confirmed.
Why the new DCU’s Wonder Woman decision remains open
According to Nexus Point News sources, Arjona is playing Wonder Woman, but executives haven’t settled whether she stays. Because DC has never formally announced her, the studio could remove her scenes and bring in a new actor with little backlash.
Nobody has made that call so far. After all, the uncertainty traces back to the recent major leadership change. David Ellison, who runs Skydance after its merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., has fired James Gunn and Peter Safran from their DC Studios roles. Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel executive producer, now takes over.
Gunn and Safran joined in October 2022 to rebuild a studio plagued by uneven releases and unclear direction. Ellison had previously assured them they could keep going, so the timing caught many people off guard.
Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow still releases next year, but sources doubt he will keep the final cut. Reports point to upcoming reshoots and the removal of several planned cameos. Blue Beetle and Supergirl could both disappear, since characters outside the new direction reportedly won’t move into future projects. David Corenswet, meanwhile, is reportedly expected to stay on as Superman.
Money appears to drive Skydance’s thinking. The company reportedly wants DC movies to deliver some serious returns, and it doubts that lesser-known characters can do that. It would rather give its best-known heroes solo films quickly, with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman at the top of the list.
All in all, come accounts conflict, and Skydance’s overall plan for DC remains hazy. Two points keep surfacing, though: Man of Tomorrow may go through mandatory reshoots, and some characters could vanish from it. Whether Adria Arjona’s Wonder Woman joins that group is still unknown.
