Adria Arjona may be considered for one of the most iconic roles in the history of entertainment. As the head of DC Studios, James Gunn, prepares for the release of "Superman," he's been discussing the future of the DC Universe as a whole, and has shared his opinion on Arjona, one of the main actresses whose name has been linked with a new iteration of "Wonder Woman."

“She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.”
It seems like he made the comments to clarify the situation and make it obvious that the character of Wonder Woman was still up in the air. Still, his appreciation for Arjona got many of her fans excited.

In the past, Gunn has discussed the future of Wonder Woman, sharing that a TV show and a movie are both in development, even if the process is slow. The film would focus on her character, while the series would explore Wonder Woman's home, the island of Themyscira.
What about Gal Gadot?

The replacement of Henry Cavill as Superman also suggests that this is a new universe in itself. If Gadot were to return to the franchise, Gunn would have to provide viewers with a satisfying explanation. For the time being, the Wonder Woman TV show is called "Paradise Lost" and is expected to premiere on HBO Max at some point in 2028.
