Wonder Man (miniseries)
Wonder Man is an upcoming American television miniseries created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is intended to be the 17th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. Guest serves as showrunner. The series is also produced by Family Owned and Onyx Collective. The show follows Simon Williams, who is trying to earn the lead role in a remake film of Wonder Man along with Trevor Slattery.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams / Wonder Man, alongside Ben Kingsley (Slattery), Arian Moayed, X Mayo, Zlatko Burić, Olivia Thirlby, and Byron Bowers. In December 2021, Cretton signed an overall deal with Marvel Studios to create television series for Disney+, with a comedy series already in development at that point. In June 2022, the series was revealed to be centered on Wonder Man, with Guest involved, and Cretton set to direct episodes of the series. Abdul-Mateen joined the cast that October, with Stella Meghie and James Ponsoldt set to also direct in February 2023. Filming began in early April 2023 in Los Angeles, before production was shut down in late May due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. It resumed by early January 2024 and had concluded by that April. The series was formally revealed in October 2024.
Wonder Man is scheduled to debut on Disney+ on January 27, 2026, and will consist of eight episodes. It will be part of Phase Six of the MCU, and released under the "Marvel Spotlight" banner.

Additionally, Demetrius Grosse appears as Simon's brother Eric Williams / Grim Reaper, and Ed Harris appears as Simon's agent Neal Saroyan. Lauren Glazier, Josh Gad, Béchir Sylvain, Manny McCord, Simon Templeman, Joe Pantoliano, Dane Larsen, Phumzile Sitole, and Jere Burns have been cast in undisclosed roles.
In December 2021, Destin Daniel Cretton signed a multi-year deal with Marvel Studios and Onyx Collective to develop television projects for Disney+, with a comedy series already in development at that point. Cretton would produce the series through his newly created production company, Family Owned. This was in conjunction with Cretton returning to write and direct the sequel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). In June 2022, the series was revealed to be in early development and titled Wonder Man, centered on the character Simon Williams / Wonder Man, with Andrew Guest joining to develop the series and serve as head writer; he was previously a consulting producer on the Marvel Studios series Hawkeye (2021). Cretton was expected to direct episodes of the series, and was confirmed to be that October, directing the series' first two episodes. Joe Otterson at Variety noted the series had the possibility to be a "Hollywood satire", which he felt made sense given the character's history in the comics as an actor and stuntman; the series was later reported to be a character study of Simon that explores the behind-the-scenes of Hollywood. In February 2023, James Ponsoldt entered negotiations to direct episodes of the series, while Stella Meghie was hired to direct multiple episodes by the end of the month. Ponsoldt directed the third and fourth episodes, while Tiffany Johnson directed the fifth and sixth episodes, and Meghie directed the final two episodes.
By October 2023, Marvel Studios shifted their creative philosophy to a more traditional television development process, moving away from head writers and began to hire dedicated showrunners for their series; Guest was named showrunner for Wonder Man. Marvel Studios formally announced the series in October 2024 when it released the first footage alongside the studios' other 2025 series. Adam Blevins from Collider said Wonder Man was Marvel Studios' "worst-kept secret for quite some time" and was grateful to have official information released for it. The series was originally reported to consist of ten episodes, but Marvel Studios' head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum later said it would consist of eight episodes, with each ranging from approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Executive producers of the series include Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, and Winderbaum, alongside Cretton and Guest. Onyx Collective also produces the series through its president Tara Duncan,[additional citation(s) needed] alongside Bonnie Munoz and Cretton's producing partner Asher Goldstein.[additional citation(s) needed]
Because Wonder Man was developed prior to Marvel Studios' late 2023 shift towards multi-season television series, they were taking a "wait-and-see approach" by May 2025 regarding whether it would get a second season. Winderbaum explained that, while the series "really stands on its own as a beautiful piece", it was "caught in the middle" of their creative overhaul and was not planned to have additional seasons. Marvel Studios would be open to more if there was a strong audience response.
