Marvel Studios will begin 2026 with Wonder Man<\/a>, the highly anticipated TV series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II<\/a> as Simon Williams. Simon is a Hollywood actor thrust into the world of superheroes when he gets powers of his own. As part of Collider\u2019s Exclusive Preview<\/a> event this winter, we\u2019re elated to partner with Marvel Studios<\/a> and Disney+<\/a> to exclusively debut a new image from Wonder Man, showing Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in some trouble with Ben Kingsley<\/a>. Kinglsey famously made his MCU debut in Iron Man 3<\/a> before reprising the role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exact plot of Wonder Man is being kept under wraps, but the first poster for the film teased which direction the show would take. Simon Williams features on the first poster for Wonder Man<\/a> on the cover of a magazine, with the headline \u201cHollywood Experiencing Super Hero Fatigue \u2014 Is it time to hang up the cape?\u201d This has been a common conversation the last few years, and it looks like Marvel is going to lean into the concept with some clever commentary with Wonder Man\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b, instead of running away from it.<\/p>\n

Wonder Man star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is best known for his role as Black Manta in both of Jason Momoa<\/a>\u2019s Aquaman movies, and he\u2019s now going to test his mettle in the MCU after the DCEU concluded a few years ago. He also teamed up with Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a> for Michael Bay<\/a>\u2019s recent movie, Ambulance, and he\u2019s famous for starring as Cadillac in The Get Down, the teen drama series that ran for two seasons on Netflix between 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n
