By Okla Jones ·Updated January 5, 2026 < /> Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… Marvel Television has unveiled a new trailer and first-look stills for Wonder Man, offering a clearer glimpse at the studio’s upcoming character-driven series set inside Hollywood itself. Created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, the eight-episode show stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, an aspiring actor whose career hasn’t quite taken off, and Ben Kingsley, reprising his fan-favorite role as Trevor Slattery.
The trailer teases a sharp, self-aware story about ambition, reinvention, and the business of superhero mythmaking.
