It’s a new year and there’s a new Marvel series coming to Disney+ on January 27th.
Wonder Man is a brand new, eight-episode series which follows aspiring Hollywood actor, Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns that legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film “Wonder Man.” These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.
Created by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Brand New Day) and Andrew Guest (Community, Hawkeye). Wonder Man stars Emmy Award winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, who reprises his role as Trevor Slattery following appearances in Iron Man 3, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and All Hail the King.
All eight episodes of Wonder Man will stream exclusively on Disney+ at 6pm PT January 27.
