The review embargo for Wonder Man lifts later tonight, and Marvel Studios has just posted a TV spot with praise from a handful of\u00a0critics. For context, these were likely collated from those who attended the movie’s junket and saw the series earlier than those writing reviews of the show.<\/p>\n
Quotes used include “different from anything Marvel has done before,” “incredible,” “surprising,” “extraordinary,” and, perhaps somewhat predictably, “wonderful.”<\/p>\n
It’s also said that “Yahya gives a stunning performance” and “Kingsley is brilliant.” It won’t be until the reviews themselves drop at 8.30pm PT\/11.30pm ET that we get a more balanced set of verdicts, but reactions like these certainly bode well for the latest MCU TV series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We’ll be publishing our review later, so be sure to check back here then to learn what we thought about all 8 episodes of\u00a0Wonder Man.<\/p>\n
In related news, while appearing on Good Morning America<\/a>,\u00a0Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was asked about possibly returning as Simon Williams in this December’s Avengers: Doomsday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Largely dodging the question, he replied, “I\u2019m absolutely looking forward to seeing where Simon can go after this. I hope the future is bright for him.”\u00a0<\/p>\n For what it’s worth, we’ve heard that Wonder Man won’t be part of the next Avengers movies, but who knows what could change with reshoots (and as Secret Wars’ script continues to evolve). Simon’s possible role in those blockbusters could ultimately hinge on how fans react to the show next week.<\/p>\n Check out the first critics TV spot for Wonder Man in the players below.<\/p>\n
