Marvel Studios has decided to celebrate the New Year with a new trailer wonder manIts eight-episode miniseries will premiere on Disney+ later this month. Part of Phase Six of the MCU, the miniseries was created by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of Five Rings) and Andrew Guest (hawkeye), with the guest serving as listener.
As previously reported, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays Simon Williams aka Wonder Man, an actor and stunt man with actual superpowers who decides to audition for the lead role in a superhero TV series – a reboot of an earlier Wonder Man incarnation. Demetrius Gross plays Simon’s brother, Eric, aka the Grim Reaper; Ed Harris plays Simon’s agent, Neil Saroyan; And Ariane Moayed plays P. Clearly, an agent of the Department of Damage Control. Lauren Glazier, Josh Gad, Byron Bowers, Béchir Sylvain and Manny McCord will also appear in as-yet-undisclosed roles
Also in the cast is Ben Kingsley, reprising his MCU role as failed actor Trevor Slattery. You may remember Slattery from 2013 iron Man 3He was hired by the villain of that film to pretend to be the leader of an international terrorist organization called the Ten Rings. Slattery reappeared in 2021 Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,Was rehabilitated after spending some time in prison; He helps the titular Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) in his journey to the mythical village of Ta Lo.
A one-minute teaser that relied on meta-humor was released just before New York Comic Con, followed by a full trailer during the event, which featured mostly Simon preparing to audition for his dream role. The new trailer repackages parts of that footage, except Simon is asked to sign a form stating he doesn’t have superpowers. The problem is that he does, and the stress of the audition and acting process itself brings out those superpowers in explosive fashion. So the “Damage Control Department” naturally declares Simon an “extraordinary threat.”
wonder man Premieres on Disney+ on January 27, 2026.
