Adria Arjona is undergoing rigorous physical training for her role in the upcoming “Superman” sequel, “Man of Tomorrow,” including weightlifting, boxing, and cardio. While her character remains undisclosed, speculation suggests she may portray Wonder Woman.
Arjona detailed her workout regime in a recent interview with Women’s Health, explaining that she begins each day with 45 minutes of cardio, followed by two hours of weightlifting. This is then supplemented with six rounds of boxing. “I’ve been boxing for years now. I think it’s something that allows me to get out of my head,” she said. “You have to be so present at boxing because you can get punched. Boxing has made me so confident. Nothing makes you more confident than punching something, to be hitting it hard and hearing that pad. You’re like, ‘Hell yeah, I’m I’m powerful.’” She also noted that boxing has improved her ability to learn lines and stunt choreography.
Originally reported to be playing the villain Maxima, an alien queen from the comics, rumors have emerged that Arjona’s role is actually Wonder Woman, previously played by Gal Gadot. Arjona described the physical demands of preparing for the film. “I wake up. I do cardio for about 45 minutes,” she explained. “Then I do weightlifting for about two hours. Then after the workout, I’ll have a bite to eat. We’ll box for six rounds and then I eat again. And then I eat and I eat and I go to sleep. It’s a job. I’m really enjoying it. I’m enjoying the transformation, but it’s it’s hard work. I’ve never felt stronger, but it’s hard. The excitement of playing the woman I’m playing gives me everything I need to wake up. Physically, it’s exhausting, but it’s all for the greater good.”
“Man of Tomorrow” is scheduled for release in theaters on July 9.
