That Leonardo DiCaprio mention. Really excited for this! Excited to see the meta-humor.
N8CCRG2025-10-11 20:39
Extra funny hitting that exact same piano note in the music that is in [One Battle After Another](https://youtu.be/feOQFKv2Lw4) too.
(Edit: I really like the music in this trailer, I just couldn't help but notice the exact same piano note)
LouisGustavo2025-10-11 20:48
I had the exact same thought! Loved it
TraptNSuit2025-10-11 20:59
It's all fun and games until he twerks with DiCaprio. That would be a step too far.

I think. Hard to tell with reddit.
Yeah.

whepoalready_readdit2025-10-11 20:20
Now i get it, and yeah it looks good
fitzbuhn2025-10-11 20:46
I don't get it whatsoever and I'm super interested WTF is happening and yeah it looks good
Ok_Scientist_81472025-10-11 20:20
Looks pretty solid, but it’s tough to get excited for anything Marvel right now
kamekaze10242025-10-11 20:22
Really why?
YesImHereAskMeHow2025-10-11 20:29
It’s really not, what a weird way to be
Spaceballs_the_tag2025-10-11 20:32
If you make broad assumptions about how things will be, you'll be disappointed, but if you go into everything with some optimism and an open mind not dictated by what the internet has told you, you'll be shocked by how much more you'll enjoy things. Not just Marvel projects, anything.
K1o2n32025-10-11 20:21
So it's MCU's The Studio?
Sign me UP
MarvG052025-10-11 20:28
Pretty sure this was written & filmed before The Studio
sortalikeachinchilla2025-10-11 23:24
yeah but it released first! Normal people are not going to care or look this up. And it probably doesn’t matter tbh
Robofetus-50002025-10-11 21:03
that was totally the vibe i got, and i dont hate it
Biden2028-2025-10-11 20:24
Looks different!
OPs_Mom_and_Dad2025-10-11 20:28
I don’t know the character. I’m excited in general and love Ben Kingsley’s involvement. But can anyone explain to me, is it just a fictional character/movie within the MCU world, or will he actually become a super hero?
sinwstro122025-10-11 20:30
He will become a superhero based on the character in universe.
your_mind_aches2025-10-11 21:01
I think the director (aka Gherkos) is going to do something crazy and Simon will end up with the powers
sinwstro122025-10-11 21:02
Yeah that could be how he gets abilities
Flamechar332025-10-11 21:48
the director's name is Kovac...definitely makes sense that something will happen, as that name sounds similar to a certain foe of Wonder Man
Allexandyr2025-10-11 22:27
[deleted]
Flamechar332025-10-12 10:58
Yeah but the character’s name in this trailer is Von Kovac - I was implying that he could end up being the MCU version of Korvac
SnarkyBacterium2025-10-11 22:40
Yeah, that whole "explore the line between fiction and nonfiction" line tells me he's gonna pull a Galaxy Quest and try to recreate whatever fictional event makes Wonder Man with Simon.
fzammetti2025-10-12 00:12
Makes sense...
"You cannot play superhero, you are just ordinary man. But Kovac can help. I have secret juice that will make your acting come alive!"
Cue supersoldier formula, or whatever, just so he can make the best movie possible. I could buy that.
Looks like fun regardless.
ibiacmbyww2025-10-12 20:49
WM: "How does a movie director have access to knock-off Super Soldier Serum?"
Kovac: "Is not knock-off! Is real deal! Is from Latverian super soldier program!"
WM: "Latveria hasn't existed since before I was born, and that still doesn't explain how you got it!"
Kovac (shrugging): "Like you said, Latveria has not existed for a long time. Sometimes, things get lost. Sometimes, things that get lost get found, and then sold to drunk directors in secret New York auctions."
WM: "So it's definitely illegal."
Kovac (as background music becomes louder): "Less illegal than the things they're taking next door. Don't think of it as a drug, think of it as... method acting. And besides, a dose this old? Might do nothing, might make you want to join in the party, might make you strong to enough to tear in half phonebook for a week. You will not be the next Steve Rogers, I think!"
Narrator: "He wasn't."

Equal_Abroad_87752025-10-12 07:33
So, he's like Darkwing Duck in DuckTales 2017?
Khasekael2025-10-11 20:32
I was wondering the same, I'll go dive into the wiki page because I'm intrigued
OPs_Mom_and_Dad2025-10-11 20:33
Side note, if he’s playing a film character that’s a super hero, and ultimately becomes that super hero in real life, then that’s basically the plot of Orgasmo. And I’m all for it!
si1versmith2025-10-11 20:38
While reading your comment I was like "wait that's orgasmo!" Nice to see I'm not alone.
Karas5402025-10-11 20:49
And the Darkwing Duck episode of Ducktales 2017
rpgmind2025-10-11 22:28
First off, who’s orgasmo, and 2, darkwing is one of my childhood favs, was he a tv star too? Damn i gotta look it up lol, it’s been a long time
BootsyBootsyBoom2025-10-11 22:38
Not in the original Darkwing cartoon, but it exists as a show within the DuckTales! reboot that Launchpad is a huge fan of. One episode had a similar storyline where someone was making a reboot of Darkwing Duck, and the guy who got cast ultimately takes the real world mantle of Darkwing Duck. I think it was supposed to be a backdoor pilot for a spinoff, but it didn't happen.
rpgmind2025-10-11 22:41
Ooooohhhhh gotcha the new reboot from a few years ago- ok thanks! I tried to put it on for the kids and then ended up throwing up the og ducktales, with a bit of rescue rangers
Microphone_Assassin2025-10-11 22:45
Orgasmo was a movie I laughed at the cover every time I went to Blockbuster but never rented.
OPs_Mom_and_Dad2025-10-12 01:20
Orgasmo is a movie starring the South Park creators. A Mormon missionary gets involved with making a porno where he’s the super hero Orgasmo, who has a special gun that makes people orgasm. His costar ends up making the gun for him in real life, and he becomes an actual super hero with the same powers.
Spacetyp2025-10-13 09:53
Awesome episode. And a shame we never got a Darkwing reboot...
IsamuAlvaDyson2025-10-12 05:04

robodrew2025-10-12 07:58
You better make me cum or I'm gonna kick your butt
_Levitated_Shield_2025-10-11 20:34
Iirc he'll gain powers during this process which'll lead to him being his own superhero.
Flemz2025-10-11 20:34
Yeah he’ll actually become a super hero
LouisGustavo2025-10-11 20:41
My guess he will become the super hero at some point (episode 5? 6?) based on the character. But I'm more curious about the villain/antagonist in this scenario. I mean, it will be some random actor that also will gain powers? Someone that has already powers and Wonder Man will face it? Can't put it togheter yet, but I'm damn curious to find out (the silver lining of knowing NOTHING about the character)
brianlefebvrejr2025-10-11 20:52
Maybe it’ll be….the mandarin!
slickiss2025-10-11 22:24
Also knowing nothing about the character or story right now my guess is the director will secretly create the antagonist super villian with someone else and theyll get powers too so the movie and can be "real" I think thats what he meant when he said how "No one would have the balls to make another" hinting to this
Greyrock992025-10-12 09:16
I can totally see Ben Kingsley becoming the villain. Perhaps jealous that he didn’t get the role he tried to get his revenge somehow.
N8CCRG2025-10-11 20:44
"I was born to play this character" makes me think he already has powers, and they're just being coy with it, but we shall have to wait and see.
greendeadredemption22025-10-11 21:48
Naaa the teaser showed him watching the original movie as a kid and it inspiring his love of movies im pretty sure he’s referencing that.
neoblackdragon2025-10-11 23:18
That could be the misdirection if they went that route.
Wolventec2025-10-11 20:56
in the comics his mind is used by ultron to create vision and has the same likes and personality as him(so wonderman is also in love with wanda)
Calligrapher_Antique2025-10-11 20:59
For the complete answer, you should do yourself a favor and watch Iron Man 3 (directed by Shane Black) and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. They're both good and will tell you everything we know so far about Kingsley's character.
kingmanic2025-10-11 21:26
That short where the Mandarin busts him out of jail to kill him is also a funny part of the character backstory.
Calligrapher_Antique2025-10-11 22:08
Right. Nice catch.
OPs_Mom_and_Dad2025-10-11 21:27
No, I meant I don’t know Wonder Man. Trevor Slattery is a favorite of mine already.
Retro-scores2025-10-12 05:47
When I think of Ben Kingsley I think of The Sopranos and him showing Chrissy all the free shit he gets.
SimonShepherd2025-10-12 10:11
In the comics Simon Williams is Wonder Man the superhero and a Hollywood actor.
In the show it seems there is an in-universe old classic movie "Wonder Man", and Simon Williams is auditioning for the role in the remake.
Remasovich2025-10-11 20:32
Feels a bit... odd? Now, i think the trailer is fine, and even though i don't know much about comic Wonder Man, this doesn't really screams "Superhero series". Guess we judt have to wait till january and see how it works out.
Calligrapher_Antique2025-10-11 21:01
Yeah it seems like scenes from the first episode only.
_Levitated_Shield_2025-10-11 20:32
"Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist."

From what I can tell it's a de-aged Richard Dean Anderson
galaxyadmirer2025-10-11 20:43
"Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist" made me laugh
Interested to see what the series will be like fully. I’m guessing most of this is from the first episode.
Stillwindows952025-10-12 07:34
Yeah I got that feeling too, that at the end of the first episode something big will happen as a cliffhanger (but they'll probably drop 2-3 episodes at once) I can't imagine they'll leave viewers hanging too long to see him get powered up.
LouisGustavo2025-10-11 20:44
I'm curious about the whole project, but damn, please, let this jazz-y soundtrack be the tone of the series. Loved it already!
jhughes19862025-10-11 20:47
So is this what if? The studio was in the MCU?
Jaxonhunter2272025-10-11 20:47
The director wants to bring together fiction and nonfiction
So Simon is going to end up getting actual powers during filming right? If so, im happy they arnt showing that in the trailer yet. Wonderman being a fictional hero in universe that ends up being real because the new actor gets powers while playing him is such a fun way to reimagine the character, while staying true to his actor roots
kirblar2025-10-11 22:35
This all seems like Ep1/2 footage and I love that.
Jaxonhunter2272025-10-11 22:44
I wonder if they might make this a bit of a metaphor for method acting. If Simon, a big fan of wonderman, starts to get real superpowers, he might start to lose grip on reality and think he is wonderman
Cryoniczzz2025-10-11 20:48
the trailer seemed nothing like a superhero series tbh.seems more like the studio
brianlefebvrejr2025-10-11 20:54
Good. We need more movies in the MCU that aren’t about the super heroes.
Give me an Office where they work at a regional insurance company outside of New York that has to consistently deal with issues.
First season can be downsizing do to government regulation and they are saved by smaller superhero issues that aren’t big enough for the big insurance company to deal with
ThePokemonScyther2025-10-11 21:02
Dc tried this once. It failed miserably.
brianlefebvrejr2025-10-11 21:37

sortalikeachinchilla2025-10-11 23:25
what was it?
cougar5722025-10-11 23:41
Powerless. Its about people working at a insurance company in the DC world.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5083928/
Cypher_862025-10-12 04:59
The idea of a show about regular people in these worlds is a good one. Powerless was just too much of a silly sitcom - the execution was the problem.
Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-11 21:37
No. This is the kind of shit that the MCU was doing in its dark times. Quality over quantity. This is a waste of time and budget that could be used for characters that need it more.
M00lefr33t2025-10-11 21:50
Yeah, lol.
What's the point of giving us series that have nothing to do with superheroes?
At a stretch, having a series with normal people trying to deal with superheroes, typically Damage Control, that's interesting.
If it's just to have The Office or The Studio in the MCU and the twist is that they do something vaguely related to the world of superheroes... we already have The Office and The Studio, which are actually about our contemporary world. What's the point?
KasukeSadiki2025-10-11 21:50
This looks pretty quality
Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-11 21:56
It’s Wonder Man. He is going to get powers one way or another. A trailer keeping it vague doesn’t make it a show about regular people.
KasukeSadiki2025-10-11 21:50
I think this will end up being about a superhero though
theonewhoknack2025-10-11 21:44
I am curious if this was the pitched/ original idea or if this was a very retooled version because of tge Kang shake up.

Not gonna lie I was watching this trailer half paying attention and was confused how the leader of boravia is also a movie director

Funny thing is, that crazy hair is his natural look irl, he doesn't even need makeup or anything for it.

Wonder Man is also from another cinematic universe adjacent to his :D
(He was Black Manta in the now-dead DCEU)

cjyoung922025-10-12 12:41
He was the Serbian boss in the Pusher trilogy too
Marvelite2222025-10-11 21:06
Looks interesting. If the show is going to be a meta-commentary on making Superhero movies, I am on-board. The MCU has been going on for so long now that I think making something so blatantly referential is a fun idea.
I also love that Ben Kingsley is back as Trevor.
ciaeeeee2025-10-11 21:06
looks good, i can't wait to see more
DJSimmer3052025-10-11 21:07
He says he wants to blend fiction and non-fiction. Baseless theory: this will be a twist on tropic thunder. The director will somehow give the actor real superpowers, then put him in an actually dangerous situation and film it.
kingmanic2025-10-11 21:27
And it's actually RDJ in 'disguise'. Brilliant.

TopBee832025-10-11 22:49
That was my immediate first thought when someone else asked who the villains could be. In my mind random villains come and threaten him/fight him and in the end it’s revealed it was all orchestrated by the director
ObviousAnswerGuy2025-10-13 10:44
it would be cool if he worked for Zemo or something. Or maybe he's one of those random marvel villains that gives other villains powers
dowker12025-10-12 06:35
Except based on "I was born to play this role", maybe he already has powers
Robofetus-50002025-10-11 21:07
This is the direction I'd always had hoped Marvel would go with their content. All of the different characters really lend themselves to niche/specific genres of film/television. I hope they lean harder into this instead of the cookie cutter stuff the MCU stuff rolled into. I'd prefer imperfect fun ideas over "perfect" bland content.
Relevant_Session59872025-10-12 03:56
I don't know, I don't think there was anything very 'cookie-cutter' about stuff like Thunderbolts, F4, Agatha All Along, Loki, Werewolf By Night and so many other relatively recent projects.
I really do feel like sometimes we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to the MCU.
Greyrock992025-10-12 09:25
Quantumania, Captain America 4 and the Marvels were all very formulaic and critically panned.
I feel that those three movies (and the terrible Secret Invasion) did the most damage to the MCU brand.
Relevant_Session59872025-10-12 10:02
That and Thor 4 imo. But I do think they've done a lot of good stuff more recently that sort of gets overlooked when the whole 'MCU is dead' train starts up.
Greyrock992025-10-12 10:46
Oh I forgot about Thor 4. Yeah add that to the list.

Riley__642025-10-11 22:26
From what little we saw of the trailers I’m going to make a guess that Von Kovak has some unorthodox ways he’s going to make his movie stand out and one of those methods is going to be turning his main star into the real life wonder man and that’s how Simon ends up getting his powers.
Lozlorien2025-10-11 22:26
Another unnecessary race swap.
benewavvsupreme2025-10-11 22:31
I think you're gonna love the story they're telling 😂
Reinier_Reinier2025-10-11 22:30
No sign of him with powers, or doing anything heroic.
Before I even saw this trailer what I was hoping for was Simon as a superpowered stunt man who takes side gigs (super powered bounty hunter going after super powered criminals) to pay the bills.
Basically a super power version of "The Fall Guy" (the TV show version, not the movie version).
I really hope the show surprises me, but from that trailer I'm not feeling it.
VLHACS2025-10-11 22:34

_temp_user2025-10-11 23:17
Did I miss something what’s The Studio?
neoblackdragon2025-10-11 23:21
My theory is the director wants to go all in and actually create a superhero and brand them WonderMan.
The thing about shows/films like this is you are taking a Superhero in a colorful costume that fights supervillains(or is one himself from time to time). If that's not really there, it's going to be a case of "Who is this for?".
Senior_Ability_40012025-10-11 23:33
This looks better than The Franchise, a show that’s about satirizing the superhero movie industry lol

Trailer is giving "the Studio" vibes in the best way.

I’m really looking forward to this. I hope it’s good.

I don't know, teaser look good but trailer made me less interested, I guess we'll see.

Why are they making a wonder man show in a multiverse saga? I’m not expecting this guy to appear in doomsday or secret wars. Is this another moon knight where we gonna wait decade for another appearance

This was greenlight when Disney was in their Quantity over quality phase, when they wanted all of their divisions to pitch endless amount of projects to keep Disney+ afloat.
But instead of pulling a David Zaslav, anything that started filming before they decided to scale back will see it through.

I really hope this ends up being good, the trailer makes it look like it’s gonna be an entirely different type of show and I hope to god it turns out to be that way. Like this feels very un-MCU, which imo is exactly what this franchise needs
Also nice to see that the president of Boravia faked his death and is pretending to be a producer, wonder when people will catch on

He’s been my dream re-cast for Tchalla for sometime now.

(Edit: I really like the music in this trailer, I just couldn't help but notice the exact same piano note)

"You cannot play superhero, you are just ordinary man. But Kovac can help. I have secret juice that will make your acting come alive!"
Cue supersoldier formula, or whatever, just so he can make the best movie possible. I could buy that.
Looks like fun regardless.
Kovac: "Is not knock-off! Is real deal! Is from Latverian super soldier program!"
WM: "Latveria hasn't existed since before I was born, and that still doesn't explain how you got it!"
Kovac (shrugging): "Like you said, Latveria has not existed for a long time. Sometimes, things get lost. Sometimes, things that get lost get found, and then sold to drunk directors in secret New York auctions."
WM: "So it's definitely illegal."
Kovac (as background music becomes louder): "Less illegal than the things they're taking next door. Don't think of it as a drug, think of it as... method acting. And besides, a dose this old? Might do nothing, might make you want to join in the party, might make you strong to enough to tear in half phonebook for a week. You will not be the next Steve Rogers, I think!"
Narrator: "He wasn't."
In the show it seems there is an in-universe old classic movie "Wonder Man", and Simon Williams is auditioning for the role in the remake.
💀
Interested to see what the series will be like fully. I’m guessing most of this is from the first episode.
So Simon is going to end up getting actual powers during filming right? If so, im happy they arnt showing that in the trailer yet. Wonderman being a fictional hero in universe that ends up being real because the new actor gets powers while playing him is such a fun way to reimagine the character, while staying true to his actor roots
Give me an Office where they work at a regional insurance company outside of New York that has to consistently deal with issues.
First season can be downsizing do to government regulation and they are saved by smaller superhero issues that aren’t big enough for the big insurance company to deal with

What's the point of giving us series that have nothing to do with superheroes?
At a stretch, having a series with normal people trying to deal with superheroes, typically Damage Control, that's interesting.
If it's just to have The Office or The Studio in the MCU and the twist is that they do something vaguely related to the world of superheroes... we already have The Office and The Studio, which are actually about our contemporary world. What's the point?
Please be good. Please.
Basically exploring how it is to be a superheroe film franchise in a world where superheroes are a real everyday occurance
It is not ben kingsley playing ben kingsley.
(He was Black Manta in the now-dead DCEU)
I also love that Ben Kingsley is back as Trevor.
Kirk Lazarus. Genius
I really do feel like sometimes we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to the MCU.
I feel that those three movies (and the terrible Secret Invasion) did the most damage to the MCU brand.
Before I even saw this trailer what I was hoping for was Simon as a superpowered stunt man who takes side gigs (super powered bounty hunter going after super powered criminals) to pay the bills.
Basically a super power version of "The Fall Guy" (the TV show version, not the movie version).
I really hope the show surprises me, but from that trailer I'm not feeling it.
The thing about shows/films like this is you are taking a Superhero in a colorful costume that fights supervillains(or is one himself from time to time). If that's not really there, it's going to be a case of "Who is this for?".
Kinda expected that one to be a movie tbh
