What else do we know about Wonder Man?

In addition to Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman, Us) and Bowers, Marvel’s Wonder Man stars Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, Demetrius Grosse as Eric Williams, and Lauren Glazier in an as-yet-unnamed role. Ed Harris and Josh Gad are also rumored to appear in the series, but their casting has not yet been officially confirmed.

Guest serves as head writer for the series, while Cretton and Stella Meghie will direct several episodes. Cretton also serves as an executive producer alongside Kevin Feige.

Details of the plot are still secret at this time.

On the official Marvel podcast (via GamesRadar), Feige recently teased Wonder Man: “We have a show in the pipeline that we’ve talked very little about, it’s called Wonder Man, and I’m not going to say much about it today, except to say it’s extremely different. It’s very exciting to be part of a company that’s been around for 25 years or more, and a company that’s been around for 85 years, embedded (within) the Walt Disney Company, which has been around for 100 years, and still be able to try new things, take characters and stories to new places. That’s what I’m so excited about.”
