The un-renewal means that Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, will follow the path of most other live-action Marvel series on Disney+ in being one and done, either by design or via cancellation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWonder Man had a solid opening for Disney+, drawing 618 million minutes of viewing time for its premiere week in late January, according to Nielsen\u2019s streaming ratings. It fell out of the top 10 original streaming shows after that, however. The show also drew strong scores from both critics and viewers on review aggregator sites, and Abdul-Mateen was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/emmys-nominations-2026-nominees-list-1236641054\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">nominated for an Emmy<\/a> for playing the title role. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWith Wonder Man\u2019s cancellation, Loki and Daredevil: Born Again remain the only two live-action Marvel series on Disney+ that have run for more than a single season \u2014\u00a0though WandaVision, Agatha All Along and the upcoming VisionQuest are connected to one another. (Several animated shows, including What If \u2026? and X-Men 97, also have multiple seasons.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tCo-creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest were also set to return for a second season. They executive produced Wonder Man with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/marvel-studios\/\" id=\"auto-tag_marvel-studios_1\" data-tag=\"marvel-studios\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marvel Studios<\/a> boss Kevin Feige, Louis D\u2019Esposito, Jonathan Schwartz and Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television and Marvel Animation. Guest was the showrunner, and Cretton directed several episodes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe show\u2019s cast also featured X Mayo, Demetrius Grosse, Zlatko Buri\u0107, Arian Moayed, Olivia Thirlby, Dan Donohue and Kameron J.
