Wonder Man (miniseries)

Wonder Man is an upcoming American television miniseries created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is intended to be the 17th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. Guest serves as showrunner. The series is also produced by Family Owned and Onyx Collective. The show follows Simon Williams, who is trying to earn the lead role in a remake film of Wonder Man along with Trevor Slattery. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams / Wonder Man, alongside Ben Kingsley (Slattery), Arian Moayed, X Mayo, Zlatko Burić, Olivia Thirlby, and Byron Bowers. In December 2021, Cretton signed an overall deal with Marvel Studios to create television series for Disney+, with a comedy series already in development at that point. In June 2022, the series was revealed to be centered on Wonder Man, with Guest involved, and Cretton set to direct episodes of the series. Abdul-Mateen joined the cast that October, with Stella Meghie and James Ponsoldt set to also direct in February 2023. Filming began in early April 2023 in Los Angeles, before production was shut down in late May due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. It resumed by early January 2024 and had concluded by that April. The series was formally revealed in October 2024. Wonder Man is scheduled to debut on Disney+ on January 27, 2026, and will consist of eight episodes. It will be part of Phase Six of the MCU, and released under the "Marvel Spotlight" banner.
