MCU’s ‘Wonder Man’ Gets a First Teaser & Confirmed Release Date

Even though Bob Iger recently announced that the MCU will produce fewer shows, there are still many upcoming series that started development before the strikes.

One of these shows is a live-action adaptation of ‘Wonder Man,’ based on the comic book character. The project faced delays and was rumored to be canceled several times in the past few years. However, we recently got a massive update on the show and yes, it’s definitely releasing.

Recently Marvel Studios released a teaser trailer featuring upcoming shows bound to be released in 2024 and 2025, ‘Wonder Man’ was on the list and the show will release in December of 2025. You can check out the teaser below:

The show will follow Simon Williams, an actor and stuntperson who gains superpowers and becomes a superhero called Wonder Man. It will be a satire about Hollywood.

In the comics, Simon is the son of a rich businessman whose company struggles against Stark Industries. To save the family business, he steals money and gets caught, ending up in prison.

While there, the villain Baron Zemo offers him superpowers in exchange for spying on the Avengers. Simon accepts and gains superhuman abilities. Wonder Man has connections to characters like Baron Zemo, Scarlet Witch, and Vision, which may link the show to upcoming projects like ‘Vision Quest’ and a rumored solo movie for Scarlet Witch.

The show was created by Destin Cretton and Andrew Guest, who is the showrunner. It will be released under the Marvel Spotlight banner, meaning you don’t need to watch previous MCU shows to understand it, and it will be aimed at a more mature audience. The series will also include Eric Williams, also known as Grim Reaper, who is Wonder Man’s brother and one of his main enemies.

The show has been in development for several years, and the main cast has been announced. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will play Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man, while Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery, and Demetrius Grosse portrays Eric Williams, Simon’s brother and a villain. Ed Harris will play Simon’s agent, Neal Saroyan, with Lauren Glazier and Josh Gad in undisclosed roles.
