The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had some struggles in their television offerings, but the recent teaser for Wonder Man suggests something truly meta and unique that could be one of their most original offerings yet. Following in the footsteps of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the upcoming Marvel release appears to take a humorous and original look at the world of superhero cinema from a completely different context, set in Los Angeles. Simon Williams’ powers do not seem to be on display in the teaser, which focuses on the world itself.

While the series is still a fair distance away, with a projected release in December 2025, the Wonder Man trailer teases how the story of Simon Williams will be explored in a refreshing way. Superhero veteran star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as the titular hero, fresh from his role as Black Manta in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. This new role seems to explore a different side of Abdul-Mateen, whose star has been rising in Hollywood these past years for good reason, and is set to rise further with Wonder Man and its unique narrative choices.
