Wonder Man Delivers a Warm, Low-Stakes Marvel Showbiz Tale
Marvel’s Wonder Man offers a refreshing, affectionate take on the showbiz world: Simon Williams, a powered actor who wants to be judged for his craft rather than heroics, navigates rejection and secrecy with a friendship-anchored vibe led by Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery. The eight-episode Disney+ series leans into character, warmth, and meta-humor over big battles, presenting a kinder, more self-aware Marvel entry and signaling a low-stakes pivot in Marvel’s TV slate.
