Jul 23, 2024


The Chi’s Byron Bowers has joined Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Wonder Man series, which is currently being developed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Andrew Guest (Hawkeye).There’s no information on who Bowers will be playing, but Abdul-Mateen II is taking on the role on the role of Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man.Cretton will direct the first two episodes. It was already revealed that Ben Kingsley is also set to reprise his role of Trevor Slattery in the series. The series cast also includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Wonder Man, Demetrius Grosse as Eric Williams/Grim Reaper, Ed Harris as Neal Saroyan, Bob Odenkirk, Lauren Glazier, Courtney Cox, and Josh Gad. The series will focus on the Marvel character Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man. In the comics, he is “the son of a wealthy industrialist whose company falls on hard times due to competition from Tony Stark’s Stark Industries. “As a result, Williams accepts an offer from villain Baron Zemo that gives him ionic superpowers including super strength and durability. After fighting the Avengers several times, Wonder Man ultimately joined their ranks.”On The Official Marvel Podcast, Kevin Feige recently teased of Wonder Man, saying: “We have a show coming up that we’ve talked very little about called Wonder Man, that I won’t talk about much today either except to say it’s extremely different. “It’s very exciting to be a part of a company of 25 years or more, and a company that’s been around for 85 years, nestled [within] the Walt Disney Company, that’s been around for 100 years, and still being able to try new things, to take characters and stories to new places. That’s what’s exciting to me.”It will be interesting to see what exactly they do with this series and how they tell the story of this character. Hopefully, they develop something that’s really cool and fun! Per Deadline,
