Phase 5 is set to expand an already rich cinematic universe and include new characters 

In 2022, Marvel Studios announced an intriguing new project that sparked a wave of speculation among fans: a new series centered around the iconic Marvel character Wonder Man. Wonder Man’s story is well-known to fans: he was a powerful human who became a superhero after his run-in with Baron Zemo. Initially, Wonder Man was a threat to the Avengers, but ultimately he joined their ranks. He is also noteworthy for his connection to both Vision and Scarlet Witch.

Shortly after the announcement, it was revealed that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II had been tapped to play the role of Wonder Man, with Ben Kingsley set to reprise his role as Trevor Slattery. Although the specifics of the show’s plot remain under wraps, we do know that it will feature Wonder Man’s brother-turned-villain, Eric Williams aka, Grim Reaper.

Grim Reaper has clashed with Wonder Man and the Avengers on multiple occasions, and each time his death was the outcome. Despite this, Grim Reaper has been resurrected on several occasions, growing more powerful each time. He is best known for wielding a formidable weapon in the form of a scythe that is fused to his arm (courtesy of Ultron). Later, he acquired necromantic abilities and various powers related to summoning the undead.

Grim Reaper plays a huge role in Wonder Man’s origin story as well as in his overall comic book history, so it only makes sense that he will appear in his standalone live-action show as well. But who will play him?

If the talks between Grosse and Marvel Studios come to fruition, fans can look forward to seeing his take on the villainous Grim Reaper, a character with a long and storied history in the Marvel Comics canon.

How is Wonder Man connected to the rest of the MCU? 

Marvel Studios is known for being tight-lipped about their upcoming projects, and the Wonder Man series is no exception. As of now, there is very little information available regarding the show’s plot. However, fans of the comics know that Wonder Man has a close connection to the origin story of Vision, as well as to the character of Scarlet Witch. This has led many to speculate that the upcoming Wonder Man series could be connected to the highly-anticipated Marvel project centered around White Vision.
