In December 2021, Cretton signed an overall deal with Marvel Studios to create television series for Disney+, with a comedy series already in development at that point. Two different ideas about actors, one centered on Simon Williams and the other on Trevor Slattery, were combined into a single series which was reported asWonder Man in June 2022, with Guest involved and Cretton directing episodes. Kingsley was set to return from previous MCU media in August and Abdul-Mateen joined the cast that October. Filming began in April 2023 on location in Los Angeles, withJames Ponsoldt, Tiffany Johnson, andStella Meghie also directing episodes. Production was shut down in May due to the2023 Writers Guild of America strike, and resumed by early January 2024. Filming concluded that March and post-production ended around September. The series was officially announced by Marvel Studios a month later.

Wonder Man was released in its entirety on Disney+ on January 27, 2026, and consists of eight episodes. It is part ofPhase Six of the MCU, and was released under the "Marvel Spotlight" banner. The series' release was delayed by over a year due to the strike and changes to Marvel's release schedule. It received positive reviews from critics.

  • Yahya Abdul-Mateen II asSimon Williams:
    A struggling actor who auditions for the lead role in theremake of an in-universeWonder Man film.[2] Simon has ionic energy-based superpowers, giving him superhuman strength and the ability to create explosions.[3][4] ShowrunnerAndrew Guest andMarvel Studios executive Brian Gay explained that Simon just wants to be an accomplished actor and does not care about his powers, which he does not fully understand.[3] Simon has to hide his powers due to theDoorman Clause which bans superpowered individuals from working in theMarvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) fictional version ofHollywood.[1] Abdul-Mateen approached the way that the character's powers are "bottled up" like someone with anger management issues.[5] He was drawn to Simon's awkwardness, passion for acting, and relatability,[6] and appreciated being able to explore a character with depth, including through his relationship with his Haitian family, while still being able to do some "superpower stuff every once in a while".[7] Kameron J. Meadows portrays a young Simon.[8]
  • X Mayo as Janelle Jackson: Simon'sagent[8]
  • Zlatko Burić as Von Kovak: The director of theWonder Man remake.[9] Guest said he is a combination of filmmakersWerner Herzog,Krzysztof Kieślowski,Paul Thomas Anderson, andChristopher Nolan.[8]
  • Ben Kingsley asTrevor Slattery:
    An experienced actor who took on the guise of terrorist leader theMandarin before being kidnapped byXu Wenwu'sTen Rings organization.[2][10] Executive producerBrad Winderbaum said the series concludes a trilogy for Slattery following the MCU filmsIron Man 3 (2013) andShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).[11] InWonder Man, Slattery returns to Hollywood after the events of those films hoping to find a second chance and live up to his mother's hopes for him as an actor.[12] Gay said the series would show Slattery taking ownership for his past behavior. Guest compared Slattery toChauncey Gardiner from the filmBeing There (1979) and the title character of the filmForrest Gump (1994), saying he gets "caught up in bigger-picture things".[7] Winderbaum described the character's arc in the series as sincere, earnest, and uncynical,[13] with Kingsley adding that Slattery gets pulled in two directions by the story.[12] Some of Slattery's backstory is shown, based on ideas that Kingsley developed when he was first cast as the character forIron Man 3.[7]
  • Arian Moayed asP. Cleary: ADepartment of Damage Control (DODC) agent who considers Simon to be a threat[14][15]
  • Joe Pantoliano as a fictional version of himself:
    Pantoliano co-starred with Slattery in the in-universe seriesSouth Shore Hospital and is seen as a rival by Slattery. He represents what Slattery could have been if he made different life choices.[16] Pantoliano ultimately replaces Slattery in the in-universeWonder Man film, a joke that was inspired by the filmThe Player (1992).[8]
  • Byron Bowers asDeMarr Davis / Doorman:
    A former doorman at the Wilcox Club in Los Angeles who is transported to a door-filled dimension. This gives him the ability to phase through solid matter, and for objects to teleport by passing through his body. After becoming an actor, Davis's powers cause an on-set incident that lead to the creation of the Doorman Clause. Guest saw Davis as a cautionary tale for the kind of acting career that Simon could end up with.[17]
  • Josh Gad as a fictional version of himself:
    A conceited, ultra-famous actor who befriends Davis and gets him into acting. Gad disappears inside Davis, leading to the creation of the Doorman Clause. Director and co-creatorDestin Daniel Cretton thought it was funny to take a "Disney icon" and turn him into the devil on Davis's shoulder.[16] The series does not reveal where Gad goes, but the production did record dialogue of Gad living inside Davis.[18]

Production

Development

[edit]
Picture of director Destin Daniel Cretton in 2019
Director and co-creatorDestin Daniel Cretton first began pursuing the idea of a series featuring the character Trevor Slattery while working on the filmShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, before the project was merged with one featuring the character Wonder Man.

While working on theMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) filmShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), directorDestin Daniel Cretton andMarvel Studios producerJonathan Schwartz joked about making a television series centered on the characterTrevor Slattery, an actor who was introduced posing as terrorist leader theMandarin in the filmIron Man 3 (2013). Schwartz had the art department create a mock poster for a potential series calledTrevor Goes to Hollywood, and Cretton was excited about pursuing the idea. By that time, Marvel Studios producersStephen Broussard and Brian Gay were already developing a series set inHollywood that would be centered on theMarvel Comics characterSimon Williams / Wonder Man. Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feige wanted to invert the character's comic book background, where he is a superpowered industrialist who happens to be an actor, instead making the character an actor who happens to have superpowers and believes they are an impediment to his acting.Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming, television, and animation, said both ideas followed an actor's journey in Hollywood and naturally merged into a "two-hander" series featuring Simon and Slattery.[5][32] Feige and Cretton approached Slattery actorBen Kingsley about the series soon afterShang-Chi premiered in August 2021.[5][12]

By late 2021, Marvel Studios was meeting withhead writers for the series. One of them wasAndrew Guest, who had previously worked on the MCU seriesHawkeye (2021) doing last-minute rewrites. His work onHawkeye had impressed executives and he presented apitch forWonder Man inspired by the filmMidnight Cowboy (1969), in which an unlikely friendship is developed between Simon and Slattery as they attempt to land roles in aremake of an in-universeWonder Man film.[5] Winderbaum said Guest's pitch had an earnest, uncynical view of the struggles that people in the arts go through,[32] and Guest was surprised at how willing Marvel Studios was to make something that was not like anything else they had previously created.[5] In December 2021, Cretton signed a multi-year deal with Marvel Studios andOnyx Collective to develop television projects forDisney+, with a comedy series known to already be in development.[33][34] Cretton would produce the series through his newly created production company,Family Owned. This was in conjunction with Cretton returning to write and direct a sequel toShang-Chi.[33] In June 2022,Wonder Man was revealed to be in development with Guest attached as head writer. Cretton was expected to direct episodes.[35] In February 2023,James Ponsoldt andStella Meghie joined to direct multiple episodes each;[36][37] Cretton directed the first two episodes, Ponsoldt directed the third and fourth, Tiffany Johnson directed the fifth and sixth, and Meghie directed the final two.[2]

By October 2023, Marvel Studios shifted their creative philosophy to a more traditional television development process, moving away from head writers and beginning to hire dedicatedshowrunners for their series;[38] Guest was ultimately named showrunner forWonder Man.[39][5] Marvel Studios formally announced the series in October 2024, when it was described as the studio's "worst-kept secret for quite some time" byCollider's Adam Blevins.[40] The series was originally reported to consist of ten episodes,[41][42] but Winderbaum later said it would just have eight. They range from approximately 20 to 40 minutes.[43] Executive producers include Marvel Studios' Feige, Broussard, Schwartz,Louis D'Esposito, and Winderbaum, alongside Cretton and Guest.[2]

BecauseWonder Man was developed prior to Marvel Studios' late 2023 shift towards multi-season television series, the studio was taking a "wait-and-see approach" by May 2025 regarding whether it would get a second season.[44] Winderbaum said the series was caught in the middle of their creative overhaul and was not originally planned to have additional seasons. Despite feeling that it "really stands on its own as a beautiful piece", he said the studio was now open to more if there was a strong audience response.[13] In January 2026, Guest said he had thoughts on what a second season could be. Winderbaum said the series would only be renewed if it had "big, big [viewership] numbers".[5]

Writing

[edit]

Guest said Marvel Studios executives wanted the series to feel different from their other projects and never pressured him to include traditional superhero elements such as anorigin story, visual effects-heavy action sequences, a major villain for thethird act, or having the heroes save the world.[5] In addition to Guest, thewriters' room included Paul Welsh, Madeline Walter, Zeke Nicholson, Anayat Fakhraie, Roja Gashtili, Julia Lerman, and Kira Talise.[2] Their mantra during the writing process was, "What ifFX was going to do a Marvel show?" Guest described the series as a character study about two narcissists who learn to care about another person.[5]

The series features ametafiction narrative set within the MCU,[13] and referencessuperhero fatigue.[45] Winderbaum described it as a "love letter to Hollywood" and to the profession of acting.[46][43] The creative team brought their own experiences from working in Hollywood and Cretton said they wanted to show the "non-glitz and glamor side" of Los Angeles, telling a story about a creative person with a dream who has to live in a small apartment and struggles to get by, something that they had all gone through.[47] He described the series as weird and melancholy.[48]Simon Williams actorYahya Abdul-Mateen II acknowledged that there is a meta aspect to the series and said it is self aware, but added that it is also focused on a genuine story about friendship and the journey of an actor.[45] He said the up-and-coming Simon and the experienced-but-jobless Slattery represent two different sides of being a professional actor.[7] Abdul-Mateen personally related to "the actor who is unknown, who is talented and passionate and just needs a break".[6] Guest said the writers worked to ensure that audiences outside of Hollywood would care about Simon's journey and feel that getting theWonder Man role is like life or death for him.[7] The series explores the realities of auditions, casting, directing, and writing, and some of the downsides of an acting career such as ego traps and fame. Kingsley felt this was done in an "entertaining, non-judgmental way".[12] Abdul-Mateen heard from actors who appreciated that the series showed the real work done by professional actors.[6]

The writers discussed potential explanations for Simon's powers, including making him amutant, but decided that it was better not to explain them since they are something that happened to Simon which he has no interest in understanding and sees only as a hindrance. Guest compared this to the mutant-centric filmX-Men (2000), which he saw as treating superpowers as psychological issues that align with life changes that the characters are going through.[4] Marvel Studios wanted Simon's superpowers to be an impediment to his acting,[5] which led to the introduction of theDoorman Clause which bans superpowered individuals from working in Hollywood. This follows other anti-superhero movements in the MCU such as theSokovia Accords in the filmCaptain America: Civil War (2016) and theAnti-Vigilante Task Force (AVTF) in the seriesDaredevil: Born Again (2025–present).[49][1] The clause is named afterDeMarr Davis / Doorman, a minor character who was also introduced in the 1980sWest Coast Avengers comic book like Simon. Nicholson pitched that the character be used, and originally his role was meant to be a short joke about a character whose superpower is to be a door. As the writers discussed this, they came to see him as a more important character and eventually expanded his story to a full episode. Guest said Davis's story creates stakes for Simon, who has to hide his own powers, while Cretton said it represents core themes about being an actor and the struggle between contentment and pursuing your dreams.[17]

Casting

[edit]

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II andBen Kingsley star in the series, Abdul-Mateen in the lead role of Simon Williams and Kingsley reprising his MCU role as Trevor Slattery.

Ben Kingsley was revealed to be reprising his MCU role of Trevor Slattery in the series in August 2022.[10] He said he was thrilled to explore the character more.[12] In October, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was cast as Simon Williams.[50] Previously,Nathan Fillion appeared on movie posters as Simon Williams in a cut sequence from the MCU filmGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017). DirectorJames Gunn enjoyed Wonder Man in the comics and felt Fillion could portray a "sometimes douchey actor/superhero". Even though the posters were cut from the film, Gunn still considered them to becanon to the MCU.[51] Fillion went on to voice the character in theM.O.D.O.K. (2021) animated series.[52] Abdul-Mateen was hesitant to take on another comic book role after portrayingBlack Manta in theDC Comics-based filmsAquaman (2018) andAquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023), and also portrayingDoctor Manhattan in the DC Comics-based seriesWatchmen (2019).[5] He signed on toWonder Man because of Cretton's previous work and because of discussions he had with the director about the role and the direction of the series.[6]

Lauren Glazier was cast in a supporting role in February 2023.[53] The following month,Demetrius Grosse was cast as Simon's brotherEric Williams,[23][54] andEd Harris was reported to have been cast as agentNeal Saroyan.[55][56] By the end of April,Josh Gad had reportedly joined the cast,[57] which was confirmed in August 2024.[58] Also revealed to have been cast in 2024 wereByron Bowers,[59] Béchir Sylvain,[60] and Manny McCord.[61] In July 2025,Arian Moayed was revealed to be reprising his MCU role asP. Cleary in the series.[14]Zlatko Burić was revealed in October to be part of the cast, portraying film director Von Kovak,[9] alongsideX Mayo,Olivia Thirlby,[62]Joe Pantoliano,[63] Dane Larsen,[64] Phumzile Sitole,Jere Burns,[65] andSimon Templeman.[66] Bowers was revealed to be playingDeMarr Davis / Doorman in December.[67][8] More actors and roles were revealed the next month: Juliette Ortega as Melanie,[29] Sylvain andShola Adewusi asSanford andMartha Williams, respectively; Mayo as Janelle Jackson; Thirlby as Vivian;[8] Larsen as Brent Willard;[21] and Kameron J. Meadows as a young Simon.[8]Charlotte Ross and Torrey Vogel were also revealed to be part of the cast in January 2026.[26] Additional cast members includeJon A. Abrahams as Frank Preminger,[20] andLauren Weedman as Kathy Friedman.[30]

Gad and Pantoliano portray themselves in the series,[16] as doMario Lopez andAshley Greene.[8][27][20] The roles that Gad and Pantoliano fill—a celebrity who befriends Davis and a rival for Slattery, respectively—were not originally written for specific actors. The production put together a list of experienced actors who may not be household names for the rival role and Pantoliano stood out to them as the first person to ask. After he agreed to join, the script was re-written to incorporate aspects of his real life. Similarly, Gad was the first person asked for the celebrity role and aspects of his real life were written into the Doorman episode.[16]

Design

[edit]

Cindy Chao and Michele Yu, both from Los Angeles, were the production designers for the series. Part of their job was to work with the location team to identify and manage the more than 75 locations around Los Angeles that were needed for scenes andestablishing shots.[68] Joy Cretton, Destin's sister, was the costume designer.[69] She wanted most of the costumes to be realistic,[8] such as the denim jacket and jeans that Simon wears for most of the series.[7] Slattery's costumes are more eclectic due to his history of collecting interesting things, but also represent his more "Zen" outlook following his experiences inShang-Chi.[8] The series features versions of several Wonder Man costumes from the comics: the lead character of the in-universeWonder Man film wears a green jumpsuit with a red "W" and "M" chest emblem and a yellow jetpack, based on the costume that was introduced inWest Coast Avengers vol. 2 #12 (September 1986); in the remake of the film, Simon wears a sleeveless black suit with a large red "W" symbol on the chest, based on the costume first featured inThe Avengers vol. 1 #253 (December 1984); and at the premiere of the remake, Simon wears a red jacket over a black turtleneck which is reminiscent of the "safari jacket" costume that debuted inThe Avengers vol. 1 #167 (January 1978). All three outfits include red sunglasses.[70] Joy said there was debate over whether to also use the green and red look for Simon's costume in the remake, before they settled on using the black and red look. She felt the more "moody" appearance was appropriate for Simon's character.[8] Doorman wears a comics-accurate black and white mask,[71][72] while the rest of his outfit is all black and features a buckle-covered leather trench coat and a silver chain.[71]

Principal photography began by April 5, 2023, in Los Angeles,[73] under theworking titleCallback,[74] with Cretton, Ponsoldt, Johnson, and Meghie directing.[2]Brett Pawlak was the cinematographer for Cretton and Johnson's episodes and Armando Salas was the cinematographer for Ponsoldt and Meghie's episodes.[8] Filming was initially expected to conclude by early August.[75][76] Filming locations in Los Angeles included theHighland Theatre inHighland Park, where Simon and Slattery meet during a screening ofMidnight Cowboy; the Eagle Theater inEagle Rock, which was dressed to be accurate to the 1990s for a flashback where Simon sees the originalWonder Man with his father; theFox Village Theater inWestwood where the remake ofWonder Man premieres;John Sowden House inLos Feliz, which is used as a filming location for theWonder Man remake;the Talmadge, an historic building inKoreatown where Slattery's apartment is located; and the studio sets and backlots atRadford Studio Center andParamount Studios.[68] Ponsoldt wanted the Doorman episode, which was filmed in black-and-white, to feel like an "old Hollywood fairytale" inspired by the films ofFrank Capra,Howard Hawks, andBilly Wilder.[17]

When the2023 Writers Guild of America strike began in May 2023, it was not expected to impact the production which was said to be continuing during the strike. It was reported that Marvel Studios was planning to shoot what they could during principal photography and make any necessary writing adjustments during the series' already scheduled reshoots.[77] Filming was taking place aroundHollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles on May 4 whenpicketers participating in the strike attempted to shut down production.[78] Picketers stopped production when it returned to film at Radford Studio Center on May 8.[76] Production was shut down by the end of the month with plans to resume after the WGA strike and the subsequent2023 SAG-AFTRA strike concluded.[79][38] Approximately half of the series was filmed before the shutdown.[48] In October 2023, Joanna Robinson, co-author of the bookMCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, reported that Marvel Studios was considering not moving forward with the series, despite already filming some material.[42] Guest explained that Marvel Studios used the production pause during the strikes to re-evaluate and provide notes on the series for when production resumed. Cretton added that it was possible the series could have become a tax write-off for Disney at that point, something that was happening at other studios with other unreleased projects, but Marvel Studios executives fought to ensure filming could be completed.[48] Following the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike in November and Cretton's exit from directing the planned filmAvengers: The Kang Dynasty to focus on his commitments to other MCU projects, includingWonder Man, filming was set to resume around the end of the month afterThanksgiving.[39]

Filming resumed in Los Angeles by early January 2024.[80] J.C. "Spike" Osorio, a lighting technician, died during production work on set at Radford Studio Center on February 6, after falling from the rafters.[81] Disney and Radford were respectively fined $36,000 and $45,000 after theCalifornia Division of Occupational Safety and Health concluded their investigation into Osorio's death and found that deterioration in the conditions of the catwalk Osorio was standing on led to his death.[82] The majority of filming was completed by early February, withpick-ups planned during the following weeks.[81] Filming officiallywrapped in March. Winderbaum saidWonder Man had "one of the lowest, if not the lowest" budget of Marvel Studios' television series to date.[5]

Post-production

[edit]

Winderbaum confirmed that the series was being edited by March 2024.[83] Gina Sansom joined the series as an editor after working with Cretton on the seriesAmerican Born Chinese (2023).[84] Nena Erb and Cassie Dixon also edited the series. John Haley was the visual effects supervisor.[8] Guest said the series was completed and ready to be released around September 2024.[5]

Music

[edit]

Joel P. West, a frequent collaborator of Cretton's who worked onShang-Chi, composed the score for the series. A soundtrack album featuring West's score was released on January 30, 2026.[85] West created a club remix of the song "In Summer", which Gad sings asOlaf in the filmFrozen (2013), to be played during a scene in the Doorman episode where Gad serves as the DJ of the Wilcox Club.[17]

Marketing

[edit]

The first footage from the series was included in a video that was released by Disney+ in October 2024, announcing the release schedule for Marvel Television and Marvel Animation projects through the end of 2025.[87] More footage, introduced by Kingsley, was shown during Disney'supfront presentation in May 2025.[44][88] In July 2025, Abdul-Mateen appeared in character as Simon at the red carpet premiere for the MCU filmThe Fantastic Four: First Steps. Abdul-Mateen called Wonder Man a "dream part" for him, having enjoyed the original film when he was younger. George Marston fromTotal Film felt Simon referencing an earlier fictional Wonder Man project that existed within the MCU was a way for Marvel Studios to reconcile the reference to Wonder Man in the deleted scene ofVol. 2.[89]

Abdul-Mateen and Kingsley appeared atNew York Comic Con in October 2025 to promote the series and premiere the first trailer for the series.[90] The following month, an additional clip was released. Germain Lussier atGizmodo called the clip similar to the trailer shown at New York Comic Con with the added element of revealing that Simon has superpowers. He said until this point, all of the footage presented the series as Simon just being a struggling actor trying to get his big shot, makingWonder Man seem like Marvel's version of the television seriesEntourage (2004–2011). Adding in the fact that Simon has powers and is trying to hide them to land a part in the fictionalWonder Man, created "a fun twist in the story and will certainly make for a nice blend of humor and action". Lussier also felt the tease of Simon's powers indicated that they may differ from the character's powers in the comics.[91]Polygon's Michael McWhertor also felt the clip began similarly to the New York Comic Con trailer, only for it to eventually reveal "what the show isreally about" with the tease of Simon's powers.[92] More footage was shown atCCXP in December.[93]

From the end of November through December 2025, various fictional promotional videos were released for the series. These included a faux promotional video for Slattery's acting lessonsmaster class, "The Slattery Method", along with the creation of a promotionalhotline telephone number that could be called or texted to sign up for updates onWonder Man. George Marston fromTotal Film called the promotional video "one of the funnier, more effective promo videos we've seen from the MCU lately".[94] Also released was a video for the fictional podcastBad Actors hosted byBen Mankiewicz, for his interview with Slattery to promote his appearance in theWonder Man reboot film. Slattery leaves shortly into the interview when Mankiewicz continues to question him about taking the role of theMandarin, which was depicted inIron Man 3.[95] The videoActors Unscripted featuring a conversation between Simon and Slattery was also released, parodyingVariety'sActors on Actors.[96][better source needed] Throughout the interview, chicken wings, puppies, and a lie detector are brought out for the interview, acting as parodies to the talk showHot Ones,BuzzFeed's puppy interviews, andVanity Fair's lie detector test series, respectively. The escalating ridiculousness causes Simon to leave the interview.[97][better source needed]

Another trailer was released on January 1, 2026,New Year's Day,[98] whichGizmodo's Justin Carter said served as a reminder of the series's release later that month after it was pushed back from its December 2025 premiere. He noted that earlier trailers had "played coy" about Simon's powers and that this teaser provided a "deeper look" at them while teasing his ionic powers.[15] Jennifer Ouellette atArs Technica said the new trailer repurposed some of the earlier footage released and highlighted a new scene featuring Simon's powers in "explosive fashion" during a stressful audition.[99] Kofi Outlaw fromComicBook.com noticed the "tea kettle format" of the trailer, showing the building pressure for Simon as he is trying to audition forWonder Man, which brings up trauma from his past that leads to his powers "exploding out".[100] Writing forDen of Geek, Joe George compared the trailer tothe films of directorWes Anderson. He felt that the footage downplayed aspects of the superhero genre, such as depicting Simon's superpowers and references to the wider MCU, in response to superhero fatigue, but questioned whether Marvel Studios could fully satirize that genre.[101] Following the trailer's release, additional marketing centered on the Doorman Clause was released. Carter felt these ads did "a good job of further fleshing out the MCU and through an interesting lens", exploring how "the upper class" within the MCU looks at superpowered individuals.[1] Multiple commentators opined that the Doorman Clause could be a stepping stone towards the introduction of mutants and theX-Men in the MCU.[1][49][102]

Release

[edit]

Wonder Man was released in its entirety on Disney+ on January 27, 2026,[103] and consists of eight episodes.[44] A launch event was held at theTCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on January 22.[104] The series is part ofPhase Six of the MCU,[105] and was released under the "Marvel Spotlight" banner,[106] indicating that it features a more grounded, character-driven story with less impact on the larger MCU narrative.[107]

The series was initially expected to premiere during the2023–24 television season,[108] but its release date was unclear by September 2023, given filming had not yet been completed amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.[109] The series was ready for release around September 2024, but was delayed further following Disney's directive for Marvel Studios to decrease content output;[5] in October 2024 it was scheduled for release in December 2025.[87] Feige did not enjoy delaying the series, saying he disliked having "things sit on shelves" ready to go. He added that two similar series,HBO'sThe Franchise (2024) andApple TV+'sThe Studio (2025–present), had been released sinceWonder Man was delayed and it would now look like Marvel Studios was "following a trend, instead of leading it".[110] Winderbaum feltWonder Man was differentiated fromThe Studio due to its focus on acting rather than the wider Hollywood studio system.[13]Wonder Man was later shifted to a January 2026 release because Marvel Studios did not want the series to be competing withholiday programming.[13]

Reception

[edit]

Onreview aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes, 90% of 103 critics gaveWonder Man a positive review. The website's critics consensus reads, "Yahya Abdul-Mateen II isWonder Man, turning in a sly performance alongside an equally wonderful Ben Kingsley in this low-stakes superhero fare that boasts high-hearted personal drama as its winning factor."[111]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 74 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[112]
