The casting carousel for James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow has begun spinning and is gaining momentum. Fresh on the heels of the confirmation that Aaron Pierre had joined the cast of the Superman sequel as John Stewart, a front-runner for the film’s secondary antagonist has emerged.
In January, Nexus Point News revealed that the “warrior-like” female role being cast was indeed Maxima and not Wonder Woman. With that revelation, the question shifted from who the character is to who is playing her. Today, a new name has surfaced in the rumor mill.
According to several social media influencer types and scoopers, Eva De Dominici (The Cleaning Lady) is among those DC Studios’ top dog James Gunn is interested in for the role of the Warrior Queen.
According to a report from TopNewsPrime that’s gaining traction across the trades, the Argentinian actress is currently in talks to take on the role of the Queen of Almerac. While it’s still firmly in the rumor category, the timing aligns perfectly with the production schedule as Gunn prepares to head to Atlanta this April.
Casting Maxima isn’t just about the Superman sequel. In the comics, the character eventually finds a home on the Justice League. By bringing in an actress like De Dominici now, Gunn is likely planting seeds for a future ensemble film, building out a roster of heavy hitters that can stand alongside David Corenswet‘s Kal-El, Aaron Pierre’s recently confirmed John Stewart and the rest of the DCU’s Justice Gang.
