In a welcome surprise, Marvel Television has renewed its recently acc;aimed limited series \u201cWonder Man\u201d for a second season.<\/p>\n

THR<\/a> reports that both actors Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley will return as actors Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery respectively.<\/p>\n

In addition, key creative talent behind the camera are also set to return including co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest.<\/p>\n

Cretton returns as director and executive producer while Guest is reprising his role as showrunner and executive producer.<\/p>\n

The original series followed Williams, a struggling actor trying to hide his powers as he navigates Hollywood and tries to land the lead in a remake of a superhero movie. He ends up forming a friendship with Slattery, the veteran actor who was briefly a terrorist figurehead in \u201cIron Man 3\u201d.<\/p>\n

The project was very different to most Marvel series \u2013 a smaller-focused buddy comedy with minimal visual effects and mostly a commentary on the film business. Acclaim was widespread though with both critics and audiences really liking it.<\/p>\n

The series racked up 618 million minutes of watch time in its first week according to Nielsen. Marvel will reportedly conduct an awards campaign for the show in comedy categories.<\/p>\n
