Sadie Sink had to dodge questions for months over whether or not she was playing Jean Grey in the lead-up to “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” and now it seems like DC star Adria Arjona may have to do the same for the “Superman” sequel, “Man of Tomorrow.” Details about her role have remained shrouded in mystery, but DC fans are speculating that Arjona will debut as Wonder Woman in the rebooted superhero universe.
