The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> has since chimed in, revealing that\u00a0Arjona has already tested and is among the four finalists for the role.\u00a0The other three are Eva De Dominici (The Cleaning Lady), Sydney Chandler (Alien: Earth), and Grace Van Patten (The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox).<\/p>\nThis time, DC Studios “declined to comment” on the news, but Gunn recently responded to a fan, telling them that Man of Tomorrow only has one major role left to cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trade has also revealed that Nathan Fillion and\u00a0Edi Gathegi are expected to reprise their roles as\u00a0Guy Gardner and Mister Terrific, respectively. This isn’t hugely surprising, as\u00a0Isabela Merced has already been confirmed to return as Hawkgirl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arjona’s credits include Hit Man and the Gunn-produced The Belko Experiment.\u00a0De Dominici can soon\u00a0be seen in Peter Farrelly’s new comedy, Balls Up, and Chandler\u2014the daughter of Lanterns star Kyle Chandler\u2014counts\u00a0Alien: Earth as her main breakout role. As for Van Patten, you may have also seen her in\u00a0Tell Me Lies.<\/p>\n
There’s speculation that Gunn is secretly casting the DCU’s Wonder Woman and that Maxima is a cover. While possible, it doesn’t seem hugely likely.<\/p>\n
Created by\u00a0Roger Stern and George P\u00e9rez, Maxima made her official comic book\u00a0debut\u00a0in 1989’s\u00a0Action Comics #645.\u00a0Hailing\u00a0from the planet Almerac, Maxima holds the royal title of Queen and\u00a0initially came to Earth seeking a worthy mate. She targeted\u00a0Superman for genetic compatibility to produce strong heirs, and later fought alongside the Justice League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In\u00a0Man 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Written and directed by James Gunn, previously announced stars\u00a0include David Corenswet as Clark Kent\/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr.,\u00a0Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart.<\/p>\n
