Wonder Man is streaming on Disney+ with a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (alongside a 90% critic score), making it the platform’s top-rated MCU series; the full Wonder Man costume, a new poster, and BTS photos have been released as all eight episodes are now available.
In the finale, Simon Williams finally embraces his ionic powers and pursues Hollywood stardom; Trevor Slattery takes the blame for the explosion and is jailed, but the two escape the Supermax together, setting up a future where Williams could become a true MCU hero and potentially star in more adventures as the DODC closes in.
Disney+ drops eight-episode Wonder Man, a Marvel Studios series that follows Simon Williams—an actor with superpowers—as he chases a starring film role while hiding his abilities; the show also brings back Trevor Slattery and is pitched as a lighter, self-contained Marvel Spotlight entry, arriving after production delays, and already drawing strong early reviews (about 93% on Rotten Tomatoes).
A review praising Wonder Man as a grounded, character-driven Marvel limited series under the Marvel Spotlight banner. It follows actor Simon Williams whose superpowers are an obstacle to his dream, explores Hollywood’s filmmaking process (notably in episode 4’s Doorman, which delves into the Doorman Clause) with stylish black-and-white visuals, and uses Williams's relatable aspirations to highlight the human side of heroes. The piece argues the show restores Marvel's focus on intimate stories and hints at a hopeful future for the MCU amid competition, rating it 7.5/10 and noting Williams's rapid rise as a new fan favorite.
