Wonder Man is a Marvel Studios series that trades the usual superhero spectacle for a sharp, affectionate satire of Hollywood itself. Created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, with Cretton directing the opening episodes, it plays less like a comic-book epic than a wry showbiz comedy about ambition, ego, and the strange machinery of modern moviemaking.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams, a struggling actor with a secret store of ionic energy powers who is chasing the role of a lifetime: the lead in an in-universe reboot of a superhero film called Wonder Man. Ben Kingsley returns as the gloriously hammy actor Trevor Slattery, last seen in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, guiding Simon through a world of auditions, agents, and self-sabotage.
Released in early 2026 with all episodes at once, Wonder Man debuted at number one on Disney+ across dozens of countries and drew strong reviews as a fresh, low-key change of pace for the franchise. Reportedly made on one of the leanest budgets of any Marvel series, it is streaming on Disney+.
