First Teaser and Release Date Revealed for MCU’s ‘Wonder Man’!

As a longtime Marvel enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the intricate tapestry of the MCU, I can confidently say that the upcoming live-action ‘Wonder Man’ series is shaping up to be a truly captivating addition to the ever-expanding Marvel universe.


Despite a recent statement from Bob Iger indicating a reduction in upcoming MCU shows, there remains an abundance of new series in development, having begun prior to the strikes.

One of these shows is a live-action version of ‘Wonder Man,’ based on the comic book character. This project had some delays and there were rumors that it might be canceled, but we recently got a big update: it is definitely still happening.

Just now, Marvel Studios unveiled a sneak peek at series due to air in 2024 and 2025, one of which is ‘Wonder Man’, scheduled for release in December 2025. Here’s a look at the teaser:

The series will center around Simon Williams, a multitalented performer who juggles acting and stunt work, unexpectedly acquiring superpowers to transform into the humorous superhero known as Wonder Man. This production offers an amusing perspective on the world of Tinseltown.

In the comic books, Simon is the offspring of a prosperous entrepreneur, whose corporation faces competition from Stark Industries. In an attempt to support his kin, he resorts to theft, is apprehended, and subsequently serves time in prison.

In prison, the villainous Baron Zemo proposes granting Simon superpowers if he spies on the Avengers. Agreeing to this deal, Simon acquires extraordinary abilities. Wonder Man’s ties with characters such as Baron Zemo, Scarlet Witch, and Vision could potentially connect the series to future projects like ‘Vision Quest’ and a speculated standalone film for Scarlet Witch.

The show, named by Destin Cretton and Andrew Guest (the showrunner), is set to debut under the Marvel Spotlight brand. This means viewers won’t need prior knowledge about the MCU series to enjoy it, as it’s intended for a more mature audience. One of its key characters is Eric Williams, better known as the Grim Reaper, who happens to be Wonder Man’s sibling and a significant adversary.

The production of the series has been ongoing for quite some time now, and the principal actors have been revealed. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is set to depict Simon Williams/Wonder Man, while Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery. Demetrius Grosse joins the cast as Eric Williams, who is Simon’s brother and a villainous character. Ed Harris takes on the part of Simon’s agent, Neal Saroyan, with Lauren Glazier and Josh Gad stepping into unspecified roles.
