Adria Arjona cast in ‘Man of Tomorrow’
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Adria has been finalised for the David Corenswet-led film following multiple rounds of screen tests. While she has been confirmed in the cast, her role is being kept under wraps. Early reports doing the rounds suggested that she may take on the role of the DC Comics antiheroine Maxima. If the buzz turns out to be true, the casting could hint at the plot taking on a more cosmic route, as Maxima is portrayed as an alien queen who has been both an adversary and a potential love interest for Superman. However, with Brainiac (played by Lars Eidinger) already announced as the lead villain, it remains to be seen what part she will play.
