One of Marvel’s best projects in years, Wonder Man, has been renewed for a second season. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley will return as Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery, the secretly super-powered actor and ex-terrorist-thespian, respectively.
Also returning are co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton (the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as well as the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day), and Andrew Guest. Cretton is back as director and executive producer, with Guest as showrunner and exec producer.
Wonder Man centres on Simon Williams, a struggling actor attempting to find work in Hollywood while hiding his powers, given that superpowered individuals are banned from working on sets by the Doorman Clause. He forms an unlikely friendship with Trevor Slattery (who first appeared in the MCU as the Mandalorian in Iron Man 3) as the pair attempt to land the lead roles in a remake of the in-universe superhero film Wonder Man.
Given the narratively satisfying, albeit open-ended finale of season 1, it’s unclear what direction a second season might take, but the whole team returning seems promising. Wonder Man is only the third live-action Marvel series to snag a renewal, the only two others being Loki and Daredevil: Born Again.
Stay tuned to hear more about a Wonder Man second season.
