Wonder Man (2026)

Marvel's 'Wonder Man' Succeeds As It Leans Into Meta Side. 'Wonder Man' works as well as it does because of the electric chemistry between Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley, who are hilarious together. Simon Williams is one of the lesser known Marvel characters. He is not Iron Man, Captain America, or even Hawkeye. So to focus a series on him comes with a little bit of risk from the studio.

That said, this is the perfect series to allow Marvel to embrace their comedic side. Simon Williams is an actor, which means that 'Wonder Man' gets to dive into a metaness that industry folks, and Marvel fans, will enjoy.
