Wonder Man: A Grounded Spotlight That Reframes the MCU Hero

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.
