Adria Arjona is currently managing an impressive lineup of projects. She is involved in a wild horror-thriller directed by Adam Wingard, a secretive role in James Gunn’s upcoming ‘Superman’ sequel, and Michael B. Jordan’s ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’. In addition, she has several indie films in the works, and her lead role in the ‘Criminal’ series is approaching its release.

This marks a significant transition for an actress who first gained widespread recognition on television. Arjona portrayed Dorothy Gale in ‘Emerald City’, Anathema Device in ‘Good Omens’, and Bix Caleen in ‘Andor’. Now, she is stepping into the spotlight with her own action film, prompting fans to revisit her previous magazine features.

On September 29, the account LOKII shared on X that Adria Arjona was featured in C Magazine. The post showcased two stunning beach photos: one captures her standing in the surf wearing a silvery knit mini dress with a frayed hem, while the other features her in a vibrant green one-shoulder cutout swimsuit, her hand playfully tucked through her wavy hair. At the time of the screenshot, the post had garnered 667 likes.

Although the post does not specify the issue, C Magazine’s Summer 2025 edition prominently featured Arjona as its cover star, celebrating California’s effortless elegance and sun-soaked fashion. The editorial was photographed by Jack Waterlot.

The accompanying article was titled ‘Why Adria Arjona Is Hollywood’s New Obsession’. In it, the Puerto Rico-born actress, then 33, expressed her passion for trucks. She owns a bright orange 1970s Ford F-150, a vintage Chevy, and a daily Tacoma, stating to C Magazine, “I don’t like any car that’s not a pickup truck.”

The profile also touched on her family background. Her father, Ricardo Arjona, is a renowned Guatemalan singer-songwriter celebrated in the Latin music scene. The article described her as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after female talents following a standout 2024, which included roles in Richard Linklater’s ‘Hit Man’ and Zoë Kravitz’s ‘Blink Twice’.

Looking ahead, Arjona’s next major role is in the DC Universe. In April 2026, she was officially cast in ‘Superman: Man of Tomorrow’. While early reports suggested she would portray the alien queen Maxima, the studio has yet to confirm her character.

Fans have speculated that she might be playing Wonder Woman. Arjona has cleverly sidestepped the question in recent interviews, joking that she is running out of ways to avoid revealing details. The film is set to premiere in theaters on July 9, 2027.

Her preparation for the role has been rigorous. In a video for Women’s Health, she detailed her routine, which includes 45 minutes of cardio, followed by 2 hours of weight training and 6 rounds of boxing. She mentioned that boxing has been a long-time passion of hers, as it helps her clear her mind.

Her latest film, A24’s ‘Onslaught’, directed by Adam Wingard, was released on September 4, with Arjona in the lead role. The shoot involved night filming in chilly New Mexico, stunt work, and scenes where she performed with one eye covered due to her character’s injury.

There’s more on the horizon for Arjona. She is set to star alongside Michael B. Jordan in the remake of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ for Amazon MGM Studios. The images from C Magazine serve as a reminder of the glamorous side of an actress whose career now encompasses action and superhero roles.
