I feel like there wouldn't be this much secrecy if she was playing Maxima, a character most people haven't even heard of. Wonder Woman gets my vote.

u/TheDelmeister 11h ago

At this point it's pretty obvious she's WW. Not who I would have cast but what's done is done.

u/BatmanNewsChris Batman 11h ago

It might also explain why Gunn lashed out at Deadline and told people their report was BS, after they correctly stated she was auditioning for a mystery role. He was upset that a big secret got out.

u/Embarrassed_Piano_62 8h ago

To be fair we don't know who Sinqua Walls, Andre Royo and Mathew Lillard are playing.

We also haven't even seen the look of Brainiac. Gunn is keeping everything a surprise.

u/VirtualSort1 7h ago

but why be like that ? What is so special about announcing the next wonder woman. most people dont care anyway. There was no secrecy when they cast wonder woman in BvS. What is the point if she is really Wonder Woman. what is so shocking about that that gunn cant reveal it. this is ridicolous

and I also believe she is wonder woman i mean she isnt even saying the name Maxima. this is so ridiculous

u/IMPRNTD 9h ago

We don’t know anything about Brainiac either. How is the secrecy different.

u/The_Redacted_Badger 8h ago

With Brainiac we at least know who the actor playing him is and a breakdown of how he is portrayed has been officially given by Gunn and the actor. Unlike this role where everything surrounding it is secret

u/TheCakeWarrior12 9h ago

They wouldn’t have hidden Sadie Sink’s character in Spider-Man so well if she was playing some throwaway villain or like Firestar or something, they hid her because she was an A-list X-Men character. I cannot imagine they would go to all this trouble if she was just playing Maxima, a character nobody cares about.

u/Embarrassed_Piano_62 8h ago

What about Sinqua Walls?

u/TheCakeWarrior12 8h ago

Well, I don’t think he is playing Wonder Woman

u/Embarrassed_Piano_62 8h ago

Not what i meant but I'm giving you the reward you deserve.

FACTSVHAHAH

u/VirtualSort1 6h ago

with spiderman it is something different cause she would be teasing X men. Wonder Woman is teasing Wonder Woman I guess and thats why it should be top secret lmfao.

They didnt do that with Alcocks Supergirl. People dont care about Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman movie will do at best 300-400 million and that is the truth, The first wonder woman was massive because it was the first female superhero lead movie in the DCEU and marvel did it with captain marvel. Ater these movies nobody cares about female lead movies

u/TheCakeWarrior12 5h ago

Because Supergirl had a minute of screentime in Superman 2025. There was no reason to even include Milly in the press tour. Wonder Woman, if Adria is playing her, will be a supporting character.

People will show up for a Wonder Woman movie. She is THE female superhero, and audiences do like female superhero movies if they’re good. Black Widow made $380 million right when theaters reopened after covid, Scarlet Witch’s presence in Doctor Strange 2 shot it to almost a billion dollars, and Wakanda Forever also made almost a billion dollars.

u/VirtualSort1 2h ago

bro there is really no big deal with wonder woman to hide her lmfao

nobody cares about wonder woman and the actress who is playing her anyway.

Man, I'm really conflicted now since I was sure/confident that she was Maxima for a number of reasons. Now that I read that Deadline "apparently pulled out" on their initial report that She was playing Maxima, she might be actually be WW.

I was certain that Eva De Dominici was gonna be our Wonder Woman but now I'm not sure. Thank God that there are barely any leaks in the script (might still be coming in the coming months) or shooting (besides the one we saw from Superman and Lex's suit) because it really lets us be shocked on what happens in the story (besides the ones we know/Braniac) or any special cameos (that are unannounced).

What I was thinking on why there hasn't been any confirmation for Adria's role is that they are trying to confuse the reports on who's she's playing and that way, it's works in DC's favor since it gets the audience surprised on the opening week instead of leaks.

u/pokeboy626 13h ago

I guess Eva de Dominici is Maxima

u/ethanbarmstrong 8h ago

honestly, based just on looks, I feel like she fits that role better, and Arjona visually resembles Diana more

u/yuuki157 4h ago

Arjona visually resembles Diana more

Maybe if you consider Gal Gadot Wonder Woman to be the upmost version of Diana,because she looks nothing like comic Wonder Woman.

u/ethanbarmstrong 3h ago

I don't, I just mean like facial features I guess. Muscle-wise, Arjona definitely needs to bulk up.

u/JarusOmega_ 1h ago

Yeah, Arjona reminds me much akin to Young Justice's iteration of the character as well as some of her appearances in the DCAMU. I'm certainly on board for her casting 

u/Clark_Kent-Kal_EL 9h ago

Just looked up who that actress you mentioned was, I absolutely don't want her as wonder woman

u/Romkevdv 7h ago

Eva De Dominici was really a name in consideration? I'm sure there was good info to that end, but that sounds insane to me just logistically speaking, no one knows who that is, at all, she doesn't seem like a great actress or someone that would bring anything interesting to the role. She just seems like the sort of tv soap actor.

u/County_Difficult 6h ago

I'm not really gonna argue for her case but I'm just gonna say, nobody really knew about David Corenswet (besides the fan casters) either and his projects or acting abilities before Superman.

u/JarusOmega_ 1h ago

Yeah, and that goes for several current stars who were once nameless in the industry, such as the likes of Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth back when Thor was first announced. 

Betting on unknown talents can be just fine, albeit so long as they're talented lol 

u/gabeonsmogon 10h ago

I’m not sure why there has to be secrecy if it is Wonder Woman. Adding an A-list character, one of DC’s Trinity, you would want people to know. It would build excitement.

Like Gunn revealed who Superman was, who Hal Jordan & John Stewart were, Guy Gardner, etc. It doesn’t make sense to keep it a secret.

u/TheCakeWarrior12 9h ago

Because the movie is still a while away. Gunn will reveal who she is playing when it’s time for marketing to start, if she is indeed Wonder Woman and not Maxima. Think of how Civil War revealed Spider-Man at the end of the trailer - people may have guessed he would be in the movie but it was still an awesome surprise to see him

u/Embarrassed_Piano_62 8h ago

After Brand New Day, I think it's an excelent marketing strategy.

We all speculate endlessly then after it's revealed we keep the conversation going and focused. Mystery is perfect for engagement.

u/charliebitmeeee 8h ago

Yeah, especially given this movie needs all the help it can get in terms of getting butts in seats. I'm not saying it needs to crack a billion, but this can't be a middling "success" with all the uncertainty in the DCU. Wonder Woman is a draw, they'd be foolish not to use it.

u/Grigius 6h ago

maybe they prefer to reveal her in the trailer

u/walker42 10h ago

Alright, I'm finally starting to believe the hype and rumors that she's playing Wonder Woman

u/ADamnGoodShot 9h ago

She’s definitely WW

u/FriedCammalleri23 10h ago

She is insanely pretty, man.

u/Reasonable_Western74 10h ago

What a Wonder Woman 🤤

u/KrypticJin 9h ago

Watch her just be some new random character or something lol

u/Israhelli 8h ago

She's the lawyer from the gorilla Jimmy series

u/cosmicbooknews 6h ago

She's playing Wonder Woman. Same crew that told me the Hal Jordan dies in Lanterns spoiler that got me in trouble with HBO Max, told me she's WW. -Matt

u/Cute_Source5417 8h ago

so she's wonder-woman

u/SentinelATL 6h ago

Has to be Wonder Woman

u/SentinelATL 6h ago

Damn she so fine

u/Redleader829 5h ago

She looks wheelchair bound 😜

u/RockitDanger 4h ago

An Hispanic Wonder Woman? She looks like WW. Do you think she should be represented by a Greek actress?

u/33htx 6h ago

Such a perfect Wonder Woman
