Sometimes, rumors turn out to be true. Andor star Adria Arjona<\/a> is indeed joining the DC Universe, landing in a role in Superman seque<\/a>l Man of Tomorrow<\/a>. However, she may not be playing the character the internet was certain she was testing for (Maxima)\u2014nor the other DC role (Wonder Woman) many have speculated she\u2019d be perfect for in the past.<\/p>\n

However, details are so thin at this point that anything is probably possible. The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> says that \u201cJames Gunn has found the final piece of his\u00a0Man of Tomorrow casting puzzle.\u00a0After several rounds of screen tests,\u00a0Adria Arjona\u00a0has been chosen for the mystery role in DC Studios\u2019 sequel to\u00a0Superman. It was previously reported that the character was comic anti-heroine Maxima, but it\u2019s unknown if that is correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

DC had no comment for the trade, but if THR got it wrong, expect Gunn to speak up with haste. The writer-director and studio co-head took to social media to debunk an earlier round of casting rumors<\/a>\u2014which included Arjona\u2019s name\u2014which were then followed up by another trade report<\/a> suggesting new potential stars, with Arjona being the only duplicate.<\/p>\n

So it makes sense that Arjona, who first worked with Gunn on 2017\u2019s The Belko Experiment, would end up on top. What role she\u2019ll be playing, however, remains to be seen. We do know that David Corenswet will be back as Superman, as will Nicolas Hoult as Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also meet Lars Eidinger\u2019s Brainiac and see the return of Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Guy Gardner (Nathon Fillion), and Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific). Aaron Pierre, soon to be seen as John Stewart in HBO\u2019s Lanterns, will also appear.<\/p>\n

Man of Tomorrow opens July 9, 2027, so there\u2019s plenty of time to speculate more about Arjona\u2019s character. Having seen what she brings to the screen in Andor, we\u2019re looking forward to whoever she plays in the movie. It\u2019ll be a step up from Morbius no matter what.<\/p>\n
