Marvel's Wonder Man

[DodgerGirl]

I saw a trailer for a new Marvel series that's gonna debut on Disney+ in January 2026 called Wonder Man and from what I saw it looks like it will be great. But how will they pull it off will be a mystery? I think Wonder Man will be interesting and show promise for Marvel and Disney+

Which actor is gonna play Wonder Man in the Wonder Man series? I think whoever they chose to play Wonder Man will do a great job. It will be interesting to see how well this series will do in 2026 because I think this show will save Marvel and they will return to making great TV series

Have they announced which actor will play Marvel's Wonder Man in the upcoming show? I hope Marvel does an amazing job with this show when it debuts in 2026. I had never heard of Wonder Man so I do hope he gains popularity due to the show

A quick Google search can answer that.

I think Marvel is bound to make tons of money on Wonder Man when it debuts next year and if it is successful on Disney+ it will make Marvel giant bucks in order to save itself in it's TV show division. Because after stellar shows like Marvel's Secret Invasion She-Hulk Attorney-At-Law it's time for Marvel to step to the plate and deliver a home run out of the ballpark with a successful show that will be a winner and Wonder Man will do just that

Marvel's Wonder Man will debut on Disney+ January 27th and will also feature Ben Kingsley in the show as well. Judging by the trailer Wonder Man will be the miracle that Marvel has been longing for and when January 27th hits Wonder Man will score big ratings. Because I think it's time Marvel has a successful show and based on how successful Wonder Man will be Marvel will get back on top once again on television

What did you think of Marvel's Wonder Man today? Did you get to see it?

Watched the first one tonight - I am surprised they dropped all at once. It was pretty good though - I'll keep watching.

We watched the first two and enjoyed them. I'm a sucker for all things Hollywood so this is right up my alley.

Yeah, I actually got through three last night. It is good, though I can tell they are slow-balling it a bit. Ben Kingsley is always just so great!

Episode 4 was pretty good, but it commits what is to me the cardinal sin that so many streaming shows do:

The entire episode is a flashback/side story with none of the principle characters (until the very end). It kills the story momentum with Simon and Trev. While the Doorman story is pretty fun, I still say flashbacks are best used interspersed with the main story and action. See Fallout for an example of how to get it right!

I freaking love though Josh Gad playing himself, and Joey Pants in episode 3 - brilliant!

Through Episode 7 - it's a good show, but it's missing something. I knew they were going to slow-ball it, and they really have. It's compelling drama for sure, but.... I hope it has a satisfying conclusion.

Finished watching last night
Hope somebody can explain it to me except for needing another excuse to make a season 2 …

Okay, I've watched it - what do you need explained? Please use spoiler tags just in case.

The ending Was it supposed to be bad …Can’t explain that in detail obviously but how can bad be good?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean...

Breaking Trevor out of jail? I would say that's a good thing. He didn't do it after all.

If you mean bad, in the sense of a bit anti-clamactic, then well, yeah. I did feel like they really hedged back on any kind of real sueprhero action, which is unfortunate. We see him in the iconic costume for liek 2 seconds, and it's only for the movie.

 

[Miffy]

We saw the first 2 episodes last night and enjoyed them. I'll have to see if I still feel that way after seeing more and will report back.

Many thanks to the posters who have hidden the spoilers!

Spoiler

I enjoyed the ending a lot more than the usual CGI slopfests we tend to get on the final episode of a Disney+ show. The story was more about a Simon and Trevor's friendship than Wonder Man. Maybe he'll show up in Doomsday or Secret Wars. Yahya Abdul-Mateen is great in this. I really enjoyed the series
