Marvel Studios recently wrapped filming on a brand new Disney+ series, “Wonder Man”, which will tell the story of Hollywood actor Simon Williams, who is thrust into the world of superheroes as he gains powers of his own and becomes the new superhero, Wonder Man.

The upcoming Disney+ series will star Abdul-Mateen II in the title role, plus we will also see the return of Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, who appeared in “Iron Man 3” and “Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings”.  Demetrius Grosse will also play the role of Wonder Man’s brother, Eric Williams, aka Grim ReaperEd Harris. Also set to appear in the new series are Josh Gad and Lauren Glazier.

Deadline has revealed that Byron Bowers will star in the upcoming “Wonder Man” series, though it’s unknown what character he will play.

Byron Bowers has previously starred in Amazon’s “Swarm” and the Showtime series “The Chi”. He will also be starring in the upcoming Apple TV+ series, “Lady In The Lake”.

Daniel Destin Cretton and Stella Meghie have directed multiple episodes of the show. Andrew Guest is the head writer of “Wonder Man.” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Daniel Destin Cretton are executive producers on the project.

While Marvel hasn’t revealed officially that “Wonder Man” is coming to Disney+, recently on the official Marvel Podcast, Kevin Feige confirmed that the show will also be a little different:

“We have a show coming up that we’ve talked very little about called Wonder Man, that I won’t talk about much today either except to say it’s extremely different than what we’ve done before.”

Expect more details on the upcoming  “Wonder Man” series to be revealed at either the Marvel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con in July or the upcoming Studio Showcase during the D23 Ultimate Fan Event in August.
