Adding a nostalgic touch, Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery, the eccentric actor first seen in Iron Man 3 and later in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. His return brings humor, emotional depth, and connects Wonder Man to earlier chapters of the MCU.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton
The series is helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton, acclaimed for directing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Known for his ability to merge emotional storytelling with high-octane action, Cretton is expected to deliver a unique and engaging vision for Wonder Man.
The project is produced by Marvel Television, Onyx Collective, and Family Owned, with Bonnie Munoz serving as producer. With its mix of action, humor, and Hollywood satire, Wonder Man is shaping up to be one of the MCU’s standout 2026 releases.
