Previously, we learned that &#8220;The Doorman Clause&#8221; was enacted to ban super-powers in Hollywood productions, with actors required to sign a waiver confirming that they are not superhuman. How could this impact Von Kovak&#8217;s (<strong>Zlatko Buri\u0107<\/strong>) &#8220;Wonder Man&#8221; reboot? Will Simon (Abdul-Mateen II) be able to keep his powers a secret? We get some clues to those questions in the clip below \u2013 along with our best look yet at the Wonder Man costume:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MixCollage-09-Jan-2026-03-54-PM-2184.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:600\/h:300\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MixCollage-09-Jan-2026-03-54-PM-2184.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2348492\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20600%20300%22%20width%3D%22600%22%20height%3D%22300%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Wonder Man\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a>Image: Disney+ Screencap<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the latest teaser for Marvel Television&#8217;s Wonder Man, hitting screens on January 27th:<\/p>\n<p>From what we&#8217;ve seen so far, it appears we&#8217;re in for something that leans just as much towards Apple TV+&#8217;s The Studio as it does the MCU. Based on what Abdul-Mateen had to share with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/tv\/news\/wonder-man-self-aware-marvel-series-yahya-abdul-mateen-ii-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Empire<\/a>, it seems he feels the same way. &#8220;We&#8217;re doing something that, tonally, feels much different than really any other Marvel show, or any other films,&#8221; the actor shared. &#8220;We&#8217;re doing something that&#8217;s fresh, and a bit tongue-in-cheek, a bit self-aware.&#8221; Considering the premise of the show is that &#8220;Wonder Man&#8221; is a fictional film franchise hero who&#8217;s getting a reboot, and Abdul-Mateen&#8217;s Simon Williams is working his butt off to win the part, you can see where he&#8217;s coming from.<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6&#8221; style=&#8221;border: 0px;&#8221; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; fullscreen;&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lgoxHC7WF9w?feature=oembed&#8221; title=&#8221;Youtube Video&#8221;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>That said, the series won&#8217;t lose sight of the collective and respective journeys of Simon and Trevor. &#8220;The show is self-aware, without looking directly into the camera. There&#8217;ll be commentary about superhero fatigue and things like that, but to me, it&#8217;s just dressing. That&#8217;s not really the aim of the show. The focus of the show is about an actor&#8217;s journey. It&#8217;s about a journey of friendship,&#8221; Abdul-Mateen explains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CBK-106-08973_R.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:600\/h:400\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CBK-106-08973_R.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2344897\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20600%20400%22%20width%3D%22600%22%20height%3D%22400%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"WONDER MAN\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/a>Photo by Suzanne Tenner. \u00a9 2025 MARVEL.<\/p>\n<p>Created by writer <strong>Stan Lee<\/strong> and artists <strong>Don Heck<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Jack Kirby<\/strong>, Wonder Man, aka Simon Williams, first appeared in The Avengers #9 in October 1964. Originally a supervillain who targeted The Avengers, Wonder Man would end up not just becoming a hero but joining the team he had previously fought. Over the decades, Wonder Man would become a fan-favorite Avenger, in large part for two reasons (though there are many). First, he served as a founding member of the West Coast Avengers, appearing in the four-issue miniseries in 1984 and then as a continuing character over the course of the comic&#8217;s 102-issue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@marvel\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">run<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the other reason might also turn into something fans will want to see in the live-action series. To say that readers took to the dynamic between Wonder Man and his fellow Avenger, the Beast, aka Dr. Henry &#8220;Hank&#8221; McCoy, would be an understatement. Whether tag-teaming the local nightlife or being each other&#8217;s best bros, it was a combination that worked (and a combination we&#8217;re sure viewers will want to see on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@marvel\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">screen<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6&#8221; style=&#8221;border: 0px;&#8221; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; fullscreen;&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KwXeoGi7nH0?feature=oembed&#8221; title=&#8221;Youtube Video&#8221;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0<strong>Destin Daniel Cretton<\/strong> executive -producing &amp; directing and <strong>Andrew Guest<\/strong> serving as showrunner, Wonder Man stars <strong>Yahya Abdul-Mateen II<\/strong> (HBO&#8217;s Watchmen, &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; franchise), Sir <strong>Ben Kingsley<\/strong> (Trevor Slattery), <strong>Lauren Glazier<\/strong> (Mindhunter), <strong>Demetrius Grosse<\/strong> (Fear the Walking Dead), <strong>Ed Harris<\/strong> (Westworld), <strong>Josh Gad<\/strong> (Wolf Like Me), <strong>Byron Bowers<\/strong> (Lady in the Lake), and <strong>Arian Moayed<\/strong> (Succession).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoyed this?
