James Gunn responds to fans eyeing Adria Arjona as Wonder Woman

There are no bad ideas in James Gunn's DC Universe .

The filmmaker and co-CEO of DC Studios addressed the fan recasting of actress Adria Arjona as Wonder Woman , after some recent speculation based on his social media following. But Gunn clarified that despite the buzz, nothing is in motion – yet.

"I follow Adria on Instagram, but everybody came out (and thought), 'He just followed her, that means she's Wonder Woman,'" Gunn told Extra in a recent sitdown. "She'd be a great Wonder Woman, by the way."

The pair have previously worked together on the horror thriller "The Belko Experiment" in 2016, which Gunn and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran produced together. "She was in a movie that I made ... We've been friends and have known each other since that time," Gunn added. "I followed her then, I didn't just follow her."

Arjona's other film credits include "Father of the Bride," "True Detective" Season 2 , Marvel 's " Morbius " and " Hit Man ."

In June, Gunn told Entertainment Weekly that a new Wonder Woman film was "being written right now," in addition to an HBO series about the superhero's home of Themyscira.

The role of the Amazonian heroine in the DC Extended Universe has previously been played by Gal Gadot , in the 2017 film " Wonder Woman ," its 2020 sequel " Wonder Woman 1984 " as well as the ensemble film " Justice League " in 2017 (and its reworked Snyder Cut in 2021).

The films were produced before Gunn's takeover of DC Studios and the pivot to a more unified DC Universe, in a new slate for the film studio that officially kicks off with " Superman ," written and directed by Gunn, set for release in theaters July 11.
