Marvel Studios just dropped a superpowered surprise at New York Comic Con 2025 with the official trailer for Wonder Man, and let’s just say this might be the MCU’s most meta move yet. Yahya Abdul Mateen II suits up as Simon Williams in what looks like a bizarre, hilarious, and unexpectedly fresh spin on superhero stardom.
Debuting during Marvel Television and Animation’s packed panel, the Wonder Man trailer brought fans face to face with a struggling actor who is about to become Hollywood’s next reluctant hero. Literally. Because this is Marvel, and yes, we’re getting a show within a show where the lead is rebooting his own fictional superhero career. Confused? Don’t be. Just embrace the chaos.
Abdul Mateen’s Simon Williams is a former stuntman turned actor trying to rebrand himself as Wonder Man in an industry that is somehow more cutthroat than fighting Thanos. Enter Ben Kingsley, chewing every bit of scenery once again as Trevor Slattery, Marvel’s favorite washed-up Shakespearean mess. If you thought Iron Man 3 was the last we’d see of Trevor, think again. The trailer teases him as the show’s wildcard mentor-slash-menace, and honestly, we’re here for it.
Visually, Wonder Man blends gritty Los Angeles studio backlots with that signature Marvel polish. The trailer even gave fans a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reveal of the Wonder Man costume, which is campy in all the right ways. The series looks like it is taking aim at Hollywood culture, superhero fatigue, and fame obsession with the same sharp edge that made She-Hulk and WandaVision stand out.
The trailer ends with the premiere date reveal, January 27, 2026 on Disney+ and leaves us with one burning question: is Marvel about to pull off its weirdest, boldest, and funniest series yet?
With Wonder Man, the MCU might finally be leaning into its own absurdity and loving every second of it. The show promises action, satire, and just enough chaos to make it worth the watch. Stay tuned, because this might just be the Marvel reset we did not know we needed.
