A few months after reports of a Wonder Man series coming to Disney+, the series seemingly has its lead. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, known for his DC-centric roles in the Aquaman movies and HBO's Watchmen, has been tapped as the series lead for the upcoming Wonder Man series, according to Deadline.

Abdul-Mateen will be leading the series, presumably as Wonder Man--a many-faceted Marvel character who was both a hero and a villain (and an actor). Wonder Man (also known as Simon Williams) made his debut in Avengers #9 in 1964, created by Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Jack Kirby. Originally a villain of the Masters of Evil group, Williams worked for Baron Zemo and was a test subject for Zemo who gave Williams powers. Eventually, Williams left the group, became an actor, then an Avenger, and the brain pattern for Vision--that's a whole other thing the MCU won't tackle as Vision is Jarvis in the cinematic realm.

The new Wonder Man series is in development from Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) and Andrew Guest (Hawkeye). The show will also feature Ben Kingsley reprising his Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi role of Trevor Slattery. It will be hitting Disney+, which has really beefed up its Marvel catalog with series like Loki, She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and more recently, the Werewolf By Night special. Nothing else is known about Wonder Man at this time.
