It has been in development since 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The comic book version of the character is the son of a rich industrialist who inherits the family munitions factory but is being crushed by the competition: Stark Industries. Baron Zemo (Falcon and the\u00a0Winter Soldier)\u00a0then recruits him to infiltrate and betray the Avengers, giving him super powers (&#8220;ionic energy&#8221;) via a special serum. He eventually becomes a superhero and Avengers ally, helping them take on Doctor Doom, among other exploits. Since we know Doctor Doom is the Big Bad of the upcoming two new Avengers movies, a Wonder Man miniseries makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>In the new miniseries, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, an actor and stunt person with actual superpowers who decides to audition for the lead role in a superhero TV series\u2014a reboot of an earlier Wonder Man incarnation. Demetrius Grosse plays Simon&#8217;s brother, Eric, aka Grim Reaper; Ed Harris plays Simon&#8217;s agent, Neal Saroyan; and Arian Moayed plays P.
