A Hint at a New Wonder Woman
In a recent chat with Extra, James Gunn, known for his work on “Guardians of the Galaxy,” discussed actress Adria Arjona, known for her role in “Hit Man.” During the conversation, Gunn hinted at the idea of Arjona as a potential Wonder Woman. “I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out [and thought], ‘He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman,’” Gunn remarked. “She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”
Gunn elaborated on his connection with Arjona, mentioning, “She was in a movie that I made seven years ago. We’ve been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn’t just follow her.” His comments have intensified speculation about Arjona potentially stepping into the iconic role of Wonder Woman.
