> どんな 顔するだろうな

Does the speaker say "I wonder what kind of face he would make" or "how do you
think he'll react?"

Which translation is more accurate? Is he saying this in wonderment or is he
looking forward to it, asking someone?

するだろうな Will or Would?
Basically, both of the translations could be correct.

If you have a conversation like

"I'm getting him a present, I wonder what his reaction would be after he sees
it"

> 彼にプレゼント贈るんだ、彼はどんな顔するだろうな

In this situation, the speaker is looking forward to his reaction after he
sees the present.

Or it could also be

"I burned his house by accident... I wonder what kind of face he would
make..."

> 彼の家を燃やしちゃった、彼はどんな顔するだろうな

In this situation, the speaker is saying this in wonderment, also the speaker
has an expectation of his reaction already.
