I really hope Wonder Man does well. Still have very little idea of what they're going for with it, but I'm keen to watch it and find out.
Simon Williams is a struggling actor and stunt man in Hollywood, but manages to get the part of Wonder Man, the titular character of an in-universe super-hero movie. When he gets actual powers, the studio pressures him to become Wonder Man in real life in order to promote the film.
We don't much more about the show. There have been no legit leaks or very reliable rumors other than some chatter that the DODC will reappear and will be investigating Simon after he got his newfound powers.
We also know that Demetrius Grosse plays Simon's brother, Erik Williams, who becomes the villain known as Grim Reaper in the comics, Ed Harris plays Simon's agent Neal Saroyan, Ben Kingsley of course returns as Trevor Slattery and Lauren Glazier, Josh Gad and Byron Bowers have also joined the cast. Glazier will reportedly play Simon's love interest.
There are some pretty unreliable (and 99.9% fake) rumors out there that Simon was an AIM scientist and that's how he got his powers and MODOK and AIM will be the real villains of the series.
While this is not Simon's origin in the comics, it's similar to his origin in Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes and I'm assuming that's where the alleged "leaker" took the idea for what seems to be his fan-fiction.
MODOK is dead though ? Unless this is a new version which could be interesting
Eh, they could just say he was faking it and then managed to get out of the quantum realm. It did feel like kind of a fake-out death at the time. Like he's pretending to make the ultimate sacrifice, so that nobody expects him to come back and then he does and takes his revenge.
Hulu Modok would be fun
Thanks. I try not to trust any stuff like this until I get to see the actual show, but I guess I figured some of that from the promotional clips so far.
As for the unreliable leak, I'd be shocked if any of that is used since we know a certain character has already appeared and seems to not be returning.
But speaking of returning characters, it could certainly be interesting if Wanda returns and finally gets through her grief by having a new relationship with Wonder Man, leading to a potential White Vision and Wonder Man situation later on when White Vision returns.
Trevor is back nice
the king is back
Good to see ol Trevor back in the mix.
Kinda funny and frustrating that Trevor made a come back before Shang LOL
RIGHT. This is crazy
No Eyes of Wakanda footage is weird when it's the next series to come out. KOTH is right there with some extra footage.
There’s a teaser out already that was attached to the last 3 ironheart episodes
first time seeing this, wasn't Chad Powers an Eli Manning thing?
Yes, he's a producer on the show. Glen Powell and Loki's Michael Waldron created the show based on his character.
Some discomforted by 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' to be honest, and can't help but wonder what Meridith Kercher's parents would say if they were still alive.
Same, the whole thing has become somehow just about Amanda
Yeah but where’s gumball??
Poor man's Zaniac.
King of the Hill is coming back?!?!
Looks pretty cool.
I found it really sad that they cometely ruined Black Manta in Aquaman 2. The DCEU ended on a very disappointing note.
Hope Marvel does justice to Mateen. He was one of the biggest positives of the already incredible Watchmen series
Only a few quick glances for Wonder Man but they look cool!
Off-MCU: I'm optimistic for Alien Earth, and you couldn't pay me to watch anything about Amanda Knox or anything "starring" a Kardashian.
I bet I could pay you $5k
Bet you couldn't pay me 5k
I’ll do it for $1k!
I'll do it for $20. It's not much, but at least it'll buy some booze to make it somewhat watchable.
you've outbid me sir, enjoy your booze and shit TV
The show she's in has an otherwise spectacular cast....but seeing her name at all is like a black hole for any and all interest in watching they might have inspired.
Alien has potential. I've always thought the series would make a great fit for a tv show.
Why are you hating on Amanda Knox?
