Marvel's Wonder Man, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, began as a humorous concept dubbed 'Trevor Goes To Hollywood,' inspired by Trevor Slattery, a character played by Ben Kingsley in previous MCU films. Cretton, who serves as writer and executive producer, crafted the show to explore the Hollywood aspirations of Simon Williams (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Slattery, moving away from the typical superhero narrative. The series has resonated well with audiences, leading to a greenlight for a second season, making it one of only three Marvel Cinematic Universe shows to achieve this milestone. Cretton noted that the project evolved from a joke into a serious endeavor as Marvel expressed interest in bringing Wonder Man to life. Despite the unconventional premise, the show has been well-received, showcasing strong performances from its lead actors. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Season 2.
