According to Deadline, Adria Arjona has been putting in serious physical work for her undisclosed role in James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow, describing a training regimen so intense it's built muscle she's never had before. The Superman sequel arrives next summer, and the mystery around her character has the DC fandom buzzing.
Why This Has the Fancast World Talking
When a confirmed cast member drops hints about grueling physical preparation, it tells you something. Arjona isn't playing a background reporter or a one-scene cameo — this sounds like a role that demands she inhabit a body capable of going toe-to-toe with, or at least alongside, a Kryptonian. That narrows the field considerably. Supergirl, a heavy-hitting villain like Maxima or Silver Banshee, or even a more action-forward take on Lois Lane all jump to mind. The fact that Gunn has kept the character under wraps this long only adds fuel to the speculation fire.
For myCast users, this is exactly the kind of casting puzzle worth digging into. Arjona has proven she can anchor big genre projects, and her range makes her credible across wildly different DC archetypes — hero, antihero, or outright villain.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
Here's where it gets interesting. Long before Arjona's training teases started circulating, myCast fans were already voting on Man of Tomorrow dream casts — and the data paints a vivid picture of where the community's head is at.
Across three active fan-cast stories on the platform — Man of Tomorrow, Man of Tomorrow, and Man of Tomorrow — the villain conversation is dominated by a couple of heavy hitters. In the most-voted story, Roman Reigns has racked up 5 votes for Lobo, making him the single most popular individual pick across all three stories. Ralph Fiennes leads the Brainiac conversation with 2 votes, while Jude Law has been nominated for the same role across two separate stories — suggesting fans see real potential there. For Supergirl, shows up in multiple stories, and gets a nod in a third, reflecting genuine disagreement about who should wear the cape.
