Premiere: TBD
A June 2022 trade report announced that a Wonder Man Disney+ series was in development over at Marvel Studios with Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang–Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) as executive producer and Andrew Guest (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Community) serving as head writer.
Little else is known about the project besides the fact that it’s seemingly looking at a 2023 production start, possibly hinting at a 2024 release. Considering both the subject matter, and the team Marvel Studios is gathering to develop the project, it would perhaps be fair to expect a show with a lighter tone similar to She-Hulk‘s, with similar episode lengths and numbers.
Following persistent rumors in mid-October, Yaha Abdul-Mateen was finally confirmed as being the MCU’s Wonder Man through a trade report later that same month. Production on the project kicked off in 2023 but was delayed due to the WGA strike. Following some time to reframe the project, production restarted in January 2024.
