Last week, Deadline reported that Arjona had screentested with Industry\u2018s Marisa Abela and Yellowjackets\u2018 Ella Purnell for Maxima, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/james-gunn-man-of-tomorrow-screentest-adria-arjona\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gunn quickly denied<\/a> on Threads (though he did write, \u201cI\u2019ve been friends with Adria a long time\u201d). Deadline retracted the reporting about Purnell and Abela, but stood by Arjona as THR reported that she was testing for the role beside Eva De Dominici, Sydney Chandler and Grace Van Patten. There\u2019s an obvious common actor between all of these various reports, so it\u2019s ultimately not that surprising that she ended up with the part. Hopefully, someone\u2019s let Gunn know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unless James Gunn denies it in the next few hours, Andor\u2018s and Hit Man\u2018s Adria Arjona has landed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604203,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-604202","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
