Love their effort and campaign, but nothing is going to convince me to watch this
AgentP202025-12-16 16:42
Fair enough. I am going to give it a chance because I love Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and the concept of the show. That >!Horror element!< rumours are intriguing me too.
6247182025-12-16 18:21
It's a show made by Marvel Studios and you're interested enough in Marvel that you're commenting on r/marvelstudios
Markus28222025-12-16 16:44
This whole marketing campaign and the texts have been really cool it’s unfortunate nobody cares or is paying attention to it
Hufflepuffpassmethej2025-12-16 17:35
I was about to comment something similar.
this is a pretty cool way to try and get the word out about your show. it also seems like a really cheap way to advertise.
But im really not sure what theyre trying to do with this show. I fear its just going to be *another* Disney+ show that is introducing a new character that isnt a part of whats going on right now.
The lack of adverts or promo for this show doesnt make me more excited for the show. To be clear, I am looking forward to this show more than other recent D+ show additions, but it just seems like Feige greenlit it and they made it and now its coming out and yeah...almost no buzz, especially because they arent revealing anything about the show besides trevor being a part of it and how is that supposed to get people to watch it? side character from shang chi and iron man 3 and he's the main point of the promos.
I think the show will actually be good. I just dont know if anyone is going to watch it
SpiffySpacemanSpiff2025-12-16 23:33
I think the reality is that this is necessary for the MCU to get righted. Yeah they made it, but they made too much and it's killed off the bulk of the interest the general audience had in the MCU, so while they should put it out (they made it after all), it absolutely should not be tied to the MCU or any of the movies going forwards.
bob_in_the_west2025-12-17 00:22
> that is introducing a new character
He was in Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi. So not really a new character.
Markus28222025-12-17 01:51
He’s talking wonder man not Trevor
bob_in_the_west2025-12-17 07:23
Is he? The marketing in OP's photo is about Trevor.
Markus28222025-12-17 01:51
Totally agree
santa99912025-12-19 20:13
This is really my issue with the current MCU in general
It’s not all bad, but what’s the goal with all of It?
We just keep getting new shows, new characters, and then nothing. No follow ups, no team ups, no interactions between characters. Outside of Loki they haven’t even continued any of the shows for multiple seasons.
SlamSlamOhHotDamn2025-12-16 22:15
Wonder Man is an inherently dumb choice to adapt when Wonder Woman is around. I'm not even kidding, I truly believe people immediately dismiss it because of the name.
DynastyZealot2025-12-17 20:05
I'm loving it and forwarding the texts to my friends, whether they like it or not! I honestly think this is going to a fantastic series - possibly the best since AAA.
Markus28222025-12-17 20:06
Totally agree seems really original
youngbighurk2025-12-16 16:59
The Sopranos is a tv show in the MCU, Wong was watching it in She Hulk, so that must also mean that Ben Kingsley also must exist in the mcu…meaning that Trevor Slattery and Ben Kingsley are 2 different characters in the mcu who both just happened to be actors
mattsag2072025-12-16 17:00
Same deal with Samuel L. Jackson (Star Wars mentioned a bunch of times), Sebastian Stan (Hot Tub Time Machine mentioned in Endgame)
youngbighurk2025-12-16 17:01
Except Nick Fury and Bucky aren’t actors in the mcu, Trevor is
Dr-Saltalamacchia2025-12-16 18:35
does anyone else ever consider that maybe a different actor just plays these characters in the MCU? Like if Jeff Bridges never existed there would still be a Big Lebowski movie, they would just cast someone like John Road or whatever. that was always my head cannon when they referenced movies.
youngbighurk2025-12-16 19:08
Maybe if they implied it but they don’t
Riley__642025-12-16 19:19
I think the fact nobody ever has acknowledged these characters look like famous actors points to the idea that they’re played by different people.
Someone would surely recognise that the head of shield looks a lot like mace windu but considering it’s never mentioned it’s safe to say mace windu was recast in the MCU universe.
Master3202025-12-16 19:31
Last Action Hero hits this idea perfectly. It’s about a kid with a magic movie ticket that makes him end up in an Arnold action movie. The kid tries to prove to Arnold that they are in a movie so he takes him to a rental store to look for Arnold movies. They eventually roll up on a Terminator 2 poster that has Sylvester Stallone on it. https://youtu.be/FgrLI5XbgYY?si=dOXbCfnm2kSebRuk
PhantomRoyce2025-12-17 10:50
It would be so funny if in universe they made movies based on the avengers and got Timmy Oliphant to play Tony like he almost did Irl
XGamingPigYT2025-12-17 23:27
I like on the earth 19999 roleplay subreddit that people accept the dcu is a wildly successful franchise in the MCU and the mcu is a flop based on real events
ICInside2025-12-18 04:15
I love that in the 616 some actors that okay those characters actually exist. When Doctor Strange found out that Benedict Cumberbatch plays him in the MCU he thought that it was a good choice. (From Gwen Poole comic when he sees our universe)
Antrikshy2025-12-16 21:51
To be fair, Sam Jackson in Marvel looks very different from Sam Jackson in other movies.
I like to imagine other people bring up Nick Fury's resemblance to Sam Jackson and he dismisses them.
KaiokenX852025-12-17 02:21
Nick Fury probably gets confused for Lawrence Fishburne all the time.

LaylaLegion2025-12-16 18:31
Reminds me of Scream 3 and who got to be Princess Leia.
n_mcrae_19822025-12-16 18:47
That’s called the celebrity paradox, and it’s existed in most major franchises for decades.
mrbaryonyx2025-12-16 22:15
this is why Slattery can't get any roles, people just hire Ben Kingsley instead
xanderholland2025-12-17 05:30
Keanu Reeves is an actor in the Cyberpunk universe and he also happens to look similar to Johnny Silverhand.
FallenAngelII2025-12-18 14:42
Or it's Last Action Hero rules, any actor who appears in the MCU had their roles in in-universe movies and TV shows played by different people.

Selena Gomez has like 4 different characters that exist in the same disney world across Wizards of waverly place, Suite Life Of Zack And Cody, and Hannah Montana since all those shows have crossed over and exist in the same universe
There's Alex russo (Wizards of Waverly place) she also plays a character named "Gwen" in the Suite life of Zack and cody season 2. In Hannah Montana she plays a character named "Mikayla" and Selena gomez is directly mentioned in wizards beyond waverly place. (The wizards sequel show)
Its hilarious and interesting to me when actors have multiple characters in the same world that look exactly alike and its canon.
LostEsco2025-12-16 17:06
I feel like for a project as overlooked as this, nd some of the past few projects. The marketing should be way more “in your face” instead of this subtle, blink nd you miss it, ifykyk, wink nd a nudge type marketing. Why is marvel scared to publicly advertise these show?
isaidwhatisaidok2025-12-16 17:09
It’s probably got a very small marketing budget and is generally low priority because its conception and production took place long before Marvel’s concerted image rehab.
LostEsco2025-12-16 17:16
Imo they should’ve just counted their losses nd cancelled the show if their hearts weren’t really in it. The last thing we need in the MCU is another moonknight or eternals ( project that goes absolutely nowhere nd exists in a void to never be touched again) maybe I’m just jaded, but after how they threw ironheart nd eyes of wakanda out to the wolves I have way more critical lenses when looking at how they handles projects starring pocs
isaidwhatisaidok2025-12-16 17:23
I kind of wish they had tbh these mid-tier shows hurt the brand
BatmanForever232025-12-16 17:24
Feels a little jaded imo, but that could be bc I'm genuinely excited for this show and think it's gonna be extremely creative and fresh. Using Moon Knight, a totally kickass show, as an example doesn't really further the argument for binning off projects of that ilk. It's not ideal, but I can live with shows not being immediately followed up on if they're good to watch as standalone features.
LostEsco2025-12-16 17:51
I’m excited too, but if it’s just gonna get review bombed, every episode dropped at once, nd come nd goes in a week I’d be sorely upset because this would be the 3rd time now that marvel has done this nd the only common factor is being led by a poc. Agatha all along got a hot topic collab nd a full tarot set made around their likeness. Meanwhile wonderman can’t even get a pair of red tinted (F)Oakley’s w/ a logo on the side.
BatmanForever232025-12-16 18:01
That's a really pessimistic view, mate. Just try and enjoy things and deal with any potential review bombing when it happens - not that it should stop you personally from enjoying the show.
LostEsco2025-12-16 18:11
It’s not about the review bombing, it’s about Marvel treating their projects lead by pocs as lesser than the rest…… the review bombing is just enabled by them, as said before, throwing these projects to the wolves
BatmanForever232025-12-16 18:12
Ok? And this is preventing you from watching/enjoying the show how? Idk, sometimes it's like people are searching for things to whine as vocally as possible about - the amount of advertising will not affect your ability to tune in, so just... give it a rest?
Shankman5192025-12-16 22:02
Does your A key just not work when you try to type the word “and”?
itsmeitsmethemtg2025-12-16 17:16
The marketing of the show, at least what I see in the wild, makes this seem like a Trevor Slattery show featuring Simon Williams.
Kaozaton2025-12-16 17:29
I know which to me kinda annoying
EagleSaintRam2025-12-16 20:45
Was Simon Williams ever the "toast of Croydon" or some shit? /s
I just did. It asks for permission to send you updates on from Marvel on Wonder Man.
bryan45012025-12-16 20:33
Greetings, thespian, Trevor just became one of my contacts! LOL.
buefordwilson2025-12-16 20:49
I sent a text to it back on November 24th and received an immediate reply followed by it sending me a contact card for Trevor Slattery. I've been getting funny texts with videos to accompany them. Yes. I have Trevor Slattery saved in my contacts haha.
No_Obligation67672025-12-17 19:07
Same! I’ve been doing all of these. The Jen Walters Law-firm one. Alexei’s Red Guardian Limo Service. I love when studios market like this
DynastyZealot2025-12-17 20:07
I missed both of those and greatly regret it. This one is fantastic!

Hans doesn’t die at the end of Die Hard. He just hit his head really hard after falling 30 stories from the Nakatomi Plaza. He lost his memory and became the fake Mandarin.

tuggernts2025-12-17 01:13
I worked a couple days on this way back in May 2023. It's kind of amazing it will have been just a few months short of 3 years when it airs.
DynastyZealot2025-12-17 20:09
What was your gut feeling about the project? I'm sure you've got NDAs galore, but did you get a good feeling about it? I'm really excited for it.
tuggernts2025-12-17 22:08
Hard to say. None of the scenes I was a part of had any of the main cast, just supporting characters. It really just seems like an exploration of the entertainment industry within the MCU.
DynastyZealot2025-12-18 00:14
I'm so curious! Thanks for sharing, and I hope it's a launching pad for your career!
