Wonder Man – Episode 2 “Self Tape” Review
Episode 2 of Wonder Man, titled “Self Tape,” leans even harder into the Hollywood satire while quietly building the show’s larger Marvel mystery. It’s a slower episode than the premiere, but in a good way, it gives the characters room to breathe, especially Simon Williams. We open not with Simon, but with Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) on a plane, casually chatting with another passenger. The moment they land, Trevor is immediately arrested, which is both funny and very on-br

Wonder Man Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: This MCU Premiere Has No Right Being This Good
Matinee kicks off with a surprisingly charming and unsettling premiere that blends Hollywood satire with superhero mystery. The episode opens on a sweet, almost corny note: Simon Williams watching an old Wonder Man movie with his dad. It’s a small moment, but it immediately sets up how much this character wants to matter—on screen and off. Cut to present day, and Simon (played brilliantly by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is very much not where he wants to be. We meet him in his trai
