What happens in the Wonder Man trailer?
The Wonder Man trailer introduces Marvel Studios fans to Simon Williams (Abdul-Mateen II), an up-and-coming actor who auditions to be the lead role in a new superhero television series. Simon comes to realize, however, that he’s actually a superpowered individual himself.
Appearing in the show alongside Abdul-Mateen II is Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery. Kingsley’s MCU character first appeared in 2013’s Iron Man 3, where it was revealed that Trevor is a humbled actor who was hired to pose as the Mandarin. He’s since been in the 2014 All Hail the King one-shot and 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Deadline’s description of the plot reads, “Billed as a love letter to filmmaking, acting, and Hollywood itself, Wonder Man follows Hollywood actor Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as he’s thrust into the world of superheroes, getting powers of his own, and becoming the superhero known as Wonder Man.”
Additionally, it has been confirmed that Succession’s Arian Moayed will reprise his role as Agent Cleary in Wonder Man. Agent Cleary is a high-ranking agent from the Department of Damage Control who previously appeared in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and the 2022 Ms. Marvel series.
With multiple episodes being directed by Cretton, Marvel Television’s Wonder Man will debut on Disney+ in December 2025 as part of Phase 6 of the MCU. The show will have eight episodes in total.
