“I need to be in this movie… I was born to play this character.” Marvel Studios has revealed another brand new offiical trailer for their next new series titled Wonder Man, a MCU spin-off series ready to debut for streaming later this January. Will this be any good? Or is it too kooky? Hollywood actor Simon Williams is thrust into the world of superheroes as he gets powers of his own, and becomes the new superhero Wonder Man. It’s a meta riff on superhero movies, with a director trying to reinvent them and remake Wonder Man, and Simon really hopes he’ll get cast to play the lead character. Because he really is Wonder Man, I guess? Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as as Simon Williams / Wonder Man: A super-powered actor & stuntperson who auditions for the lead role in a superhero series. Co-created by Destin Daniel Cretton, the new Wonder Man series also stars Ben Kingsley back as actor Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3, Demetrius Grosse, Lauren Glazier, Byron Bowers, and more. And featuring Zlatko Buric (who was also in James Gunn’s Superman) as filmmaker Von Kovak. This looks amusing and wacky and weird. What are his powers? Why does no one know he has any? What will he do when he gets the role? I guess we’ve got to watch to find out.
Here’s the second official trailer (+ poster) for Marvel Studios’ next series Wonder Man, from YouTube:
