We wonder if you remembered that Wonder Man<\/a> was coming out? The new Marvel Studios show starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has been coming forever. He was cast all the way back in 2022<\/a>, it had production difficulties<\/a> due to the strikes, and it has seemingly been on the release schedule forever.<\/p>\n

In recent months, we\u2019ve seen teeny, tiny glimpses<\/a> here and there, but with the show now, finally, coming out in January 27, Marvel chose New York Comic Con to fully pull the curtain back.<\/p>\n

Wonder Man will debut on Disney+ in January 27, 2026, and here is the first full trailer:<\/p>\n

That trailer certainly shows potential, especially with this idea of what Hollywood is like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but we fear this show may suffer a similar fate to Ironheart. Both shows were developed in an era that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige kind of looks back at with regret\u2014when the studio was making show after show after show, introducing character after character after character, and not everything stuck. In fact, most of it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

We thought Ironheart was actually really good, but it was just timed very poorly. Wonder Man, with the exception of Ben Kingsley\u2019s Trevor, seems to be introducing lots of new characters and could suffer the same fate. Do we really need more characters in the MCU? And yet, maybe that\u2019s the saving grace here. Maybe Wonder Man and his stories are detached and unique enough from everything else that the show can just be viewed on its own. Time will tell.<\/p>\n

How are you feeling about Wonder Man after this trailer? Do you share our concern that it just isn\u2019t coming out at the right time? Is it too much? Or will the fact that we\u2019re a few months removed from the most recent Marvel movie (The Fantastic Four: First Steps) and so far away from the next ones in 2026 (Spider-Man: Brand New Day in July and Avengers: Doomsday in December) make it feel like this will scratch that itch? Let us know.<\/p>\n
