Wonder Man (Marvel/D+ Serie)

[StS]

We know the Marvel series Wonder Man is supposed to be released through the Disney+ streaming service sometime in January of 2026.

Wonder Man focuses on one of Marvel's oldest characters, as title character Simon Williams was introduced back in 1964, in the pages of Avengers #9. "He began his comic book career as a villain but got reintroduced as a hero in the late 1970s. Wonder Man's civilian name is Simon Williams, and he was a founding member of the Los Angeles-based West Coast Avengers. As an actor and stuntman, Williams' look included wearing a turtleneck, a red jacket, and sunglasses. Wonder Man strongly relates to Marvel characters Vision and Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. The trio shared several adventures, with Wonder Man and Vision thinking of each other as brothers in action. After Vision was dismantled, the villain-turned-hero developed intense feelings for Wanda."

MSN noted that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Candyman) stars and is joined in the cast by Ben Kingsley, who reprises his Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings role of actor Trevor Slattery; Demetrius Grosse, who plays Simon's brother, Eric Williams, an Avengers villain from the comics known as the Grim Reaper, and Ed Harris as Simon's agent, Neal Saroyan. Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton as a producer on the show, with Andrew Guest (Hawkeye) serving as the head writer.

Erstaunlich (für Marvel): Der Teaser hat mich ein Stückchen neugierig gemacht... u.a. wegen des Meta-Ansatzes.
Und Yahya Abdul-Mateen II ist cool (obgleich ich ihn lieber als Blade sehen würde).

Auch wenn man sich wohl an Vorbildern/Serien wie "the Studio" und "the Franchise" orientiert hat:
Für Marvel-Verhältnisse (positiv) anders... und gar nicht mal so übel.
