The new MCU show Wonder Man, which is in the early development stages at Disney+, is reportedly going to be a Hollywood satire. Since the beginning of Phase 4, the MCU has gotten a secondary platform through Disney+. Thanks to the Disney-branded streaming service, Marvel Studios has been able to flesh out the MCU as they continue to go through Phase 4.
While Disney+ has already seen several new Marvel Studios originals arrive in the last few years, another one is on its way. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community scribe Andrew Guest are teaming up with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton to develop a Wonder Man series for Disney+ The series is currently in early development with Guest as the head writer while Cretton is expected to direct at least 1 episode.
I have also heard that this show could be a Hollywood satire, but that is not 100% confirmed. It would make sense given Wonder Man's backstory as an actor and stuntman in the comics #WonderMan https://t.co/RJ8PLFg7G8If Wonder Man goes forward as a Disney+ series, it would follow Simon Williams as the titular character, who was an actor and stuntman prior to becoming a superhero. Wonder Man, who debuted in the Marvel Universe in August 1964, was initially a villain before becoming a hero.
The idea to have Wonder Man be approached as a Hollywood satire would be a new and refreshing direction for the MCU. Given how the Avengers have changed celebrity culture within the MCU, it would be intriguing to see how the show would tackle that through Simon's eyes. It would help Wonder Man stand out from the other MCU shows, especially as Simon isn't as recognizable in comparison to other Marvel heroes in the franchise.
