Yes, you heard it right Wonder Man, not Wonder Woman. He is a Marvel character and his powers are very different from our favorite Amazon Warrior. Seems like their name is the only thing they’ve in common. With Marvel finding Disney+ as a new home for their newest super heroes who haven’t been introduced to the masses. Series like Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, She Hulk and Ironheart in development, prove that Marvel has found this formula of introducing new characters, connecting the audiences with them and then adding them into the MCU. Along with all these projects Marvel is also developing and adding one their oldest Superhero into the mix- Wonder Man.
Wonder Man Set to Debut in the MCU
Wonder Man is one of the oldest characters in Marvel’s long history, and was first introduced in 1964 in an early issue of Avengers. The character named Simon Williams was created by Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Jack Kirby, and was initially introduced as a supervillain who fought the Avengers. Reports suggests the project is in early stages of development and if everything goes well the series could begin filming in late 2023.
However, it is unclear who will play the titular character as if yet although the brains behind the project is quite impressive. Shang Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is developing the series along with Brooklyn Nine Nine writer-producer Andrew Guest. While Guest will be the head writer of the series, Cretton is set to act as an executive producer to the series and possibly also direct a few episodes.
The details regarding the project are naturally sparse, we hope to get some more details for project as Wonder Man is a very important character for Marvel as going forward he’ll inevitably join the Avengers, like the comics. Until then you can stream Marvel’s newest shows like Ms. Marvel. New episode debuts every Wednesday on Disney+
