Wonder Man (PILOT)

Marvel’s first live-action Disney+ series since Ironheart, Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams in a Hollywood-meta buddy comedy. Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery, the infamous fake Mandarin, now pulled into Simon’s orbit as another agency takes an interest in Simon’s secret powers. Meanwhile, Simon just wants to land a role in the reboot of the childhood superhero that made him fall in love with acting.

On the podcast, we break down the show’s reception, our thoughts on the plot, how it compares to similar comedies, and where it fits into Marvel’s Phase Six. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
