How do you make a superhero TV show amid an ongoing, seemingly unending media discourse about superhero fatigue? The answer, of course, is you make a meta superhero TV show about superhero fatigue… obviously. Or at least, that’s the approach Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton and Hawkeye‘s Andrew Guest are taking with Wonder Man — a new MCU Disney+ series in which Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams, an actor determined to land the role of Wonder Man in a remake of in-universe comic book movie classic, er, Wonder Man. The rub? Well, one Trevor Slattery (Sir Ben Kingsley) is also pretty keen on the part, and if Williams wants the role then he may have to go method to get it. Check out the newly dropped trailer for the show below;

We don’t know what exactly you’d get if She-Hulk and The Studio had a televisual love-child, but we’d hazard a guess that — on present evidence — Wonder Man may be pretty close to it. “I want to explore the place between fiction and non-fiction,” says eccentric fictitious filmmaker Von Kovak (Superman‘s Boravian president Zlatko Burić) in this incredibly tongue-in-cheek first trailer for the MCU’s newest streaming series. And it looks like he’s not alone in that ambition: in just over two minutes here, we get overt acknowledgment of the ‘superhero fatigue’ discourse, no small measure of satire on the dog-eat-dog world of being an actor in a franchise-dominated world, and the reappearance of the aforementioned Trevor Slattery (“Where have I seen him before?” asks one casting director; “Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist” replies another over an Iron Man 3 clip.)

Sure, this first trailer gives us very little in terms of the bigger picture for the series as a whole, which it’s worth noting also co-stars X Mayo, Demetrius Grosse, Arian Moayed, and Olivia Thirlby. But as a proof of concept, this is all very promising stuff — zingy, bright, and hung nicely on Abdul-Mateen II and Kingsley’s immediately apparent chemistry. We’ll see whether Simon Williams gets the gig when Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ on 27 January.
