DC film boss James Gunn reveals actress he thinks would make 'great' Wonder Woman
Fans had spotted that Gunn follows the actress on social media.
As James Gunn prepares to launch his new DCU on the big screen, following the animated small-screen debut Creature Commandos with his own directorial effort Superman, he has weighed in on the casting of a major player from the comics.
Of course, when fans think of DC, their minds often go to three characters - Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. While all three have been played by multiple actors on screen, we only currently have a star in the new DCU continuity for Superman.
Naturally, some fans have already started making their own fan castings, with many noting that Andor's Adria Arjona would make a good Wonder Woman.
They also noticed that Gunn follows her on social media, with theories running rife that she could have already been cast.
Now, speaking with Extra, Gunn suggested that fans shouldn't read too much into who he's following on social media to find out future castings - however, he did admit that Arjona would make a "great" Wonder Woman.
He said: "I followed Adria Arjona on Instagram but everybody came out [and said], 'He just followed her, that means she’s Wonder Woman, that means she's Wonder Woman!' She’d be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.

"But she was in a movie that I made seven years ago. We've been friends and have known each other since that time. So, I followed her then, I didn't just follow her. People just notice these things all the time."
The film Gunn is referring to in which Arjona starred is 2016's The Belko Experiment, which was directed by Greg McLean but for which Gunn wrote the script.
Arjona has also had roles in series and films including Good Omens, Morbius, Hit Man and Blink Twice.
