Like WandaVision before it, all signs point to\u00a0Wonder Man being unlike any other MCU TV series. While Simon Williams does have superpowers, he’s simply hoping to play “Wonder Man” in a reboot of the classic superhero franchise, giving this project a meta feel.<\/p>\n
It’s already been confirmed that the show will touch on\u2014and likely poke fun at\u2014reboots and superhero fatigue, and things have just got even weirder with Marvel Studios’ latest marketing tactic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Advertisements for “acting coach” Trevor Slattery have been spotted in the wild, and the number pictured leads curious fans to a video with the Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings character promising\u00a0to share his expertise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s a clever little marketing tactic, and one that suggests Disney+ will put a little more effort into promoting Wonder Man than it has other recent MCU projects on the streamer (Ironheart, for example,\u00a0came and went with little fanfare).\u00a0<\/p>\n
If this promo is representative of what we’ll see in the show, then it now seems safe to assume that Simon will be one of Trevor’s “students.”<\/p>\n
Teasing what fans can expect from Wonder Man, lead star\u00a0Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently revealed,\u00a0“We\u2019re doing something that, tonally, feels much different than really any other Marvel show, or any other films. We\u2019re doing something that\u2019s fresh, and a bit tongue-in-cheek, a bit self-aware.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “The show is self-aware, without looking directly into the camera,”<\/strong>\u00a0the Aquaman and Watchmen actor noted.\u00a0“There\u2019ll be commentary about superhero fatigue and things like that, but to me, it\u2019s just dressing. That\u2019s not really the aim of the show. The focus of the show is about an actor\u2019s journey. It\u2019s about a journey of friendship.”<\/strong><\/p>\n In\u00a0Wonder Man, aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film “Wonder Man.”\u00a0<\/p>\n These two actors, at opposite ends of their careers, doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n Wonder Man\u00a0is written by\u00a0Andrew Guest, Paul Welsh & Madeline Walter, Zeke Nicholson, Anayat Fakhraie, Roja Gashtili & Julia Lerman, and Kira Talise. Directors on the series include\u00a0Destin Daniel Cretton, James Ponsoldt, Tiffany Johnson, and Stella Meghie.\u00a0<\/p>\n The series stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ben Kingsley, Arian Moayed, X Mayo, Zlatko Buri\u0107, Olivia Thirlby, and Byron Bowers.<\/p>\n Created by\u00a0Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest,\u00a0Wonder Man’s executive producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, and Andrew Guest.<\/p>\n Wonder Man\u00a0premieres on Disney+ on January 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
