Love how the three of them are hyping up the original movie like it's Lawrence of Arabia...🤣😂

in their universe maybe its that good
AdForward72372026-01-19 14:45
With the premise the promo and the general meta-ness of it all, I'm as excited for this as I was for Agatha All Along and THAT ended up great so.. color me stoked

It is very intriguing, Wonder Man's whole thing is wanting to be a real actor but he can't escape the type casting of being a super hero, making him an actor without powers who actually wants to play the super hero is an interesting twist. I'm assuming he is going to get the powers, and then will become famous as Wonder Man for being a hero, and not for deep portrayal of humanity from the movie he loved and that will be the main conflict but it's really hard to tell from what we have seen.

So the way the trailers have laid it out so far, there is going to be a reboot movie of a 70s/80s superhero shlock film called "Wonder Man", and Simon Williams wants to play the part, and has loved the character of Wonder Man his whole life. He either has superpowers, or gets them during the production of the film, not sure which, but the problem is that when he got the job he signed a contract that specifically says no powered people can work on the project. I think its a hilarious premise.

He actually has his powers when he is auditioning for the role in this TV series. The promotional material for the show has made it a big point that superpowers are banned for actors in the MCU's version of Hollywood.
So Simon is hiding his powers to get the role, but it seems like he can lose control of his powers if he gets any type of emotional, like frustrated/angry/sad. The Department of Damage Control agency recruits Trevor Slattery to keep an eye on Simon while he's preparing to audition because they consider him extremely dangerous.
This is all laid out in the promotional material that's been released so far.

Does anyone else think that poster makes it look like the OG Wonder Man was played by Ego (Kurt Russell)?
superanx2026-01-19 16:10
I hate that they use AI for the scenes referencing this fake movie
alexjuuhh2026-01-19 17:22
I was gonna say, the poster looked okay at first glance, but then I saw the robot thing and it just _screamed_ AI. I kind of understand, but it’s disappointing nonetheless.
superanx2026-01-19 22:37
The cut scene in the trailer looks sooooo AI tho. I hope you are right
alexjuuhh2026-01-19 23:12
Oh huh, I hadn't even really noticed that. I'll have to take another look at the trailer.

You know the tea is done with the high pitched whining. Kinda like this comment
RedHawk_942026-01-19 19:06
It's been confirmed that they did not use AI
Wooden_Passage_26122026-01-19 16:58
This is perfect satire marketing

So many memories connected with retro movies.

Did they deadass use AI
ReddiTrawler20212026-01-19 18:47
Is this from IMDb? (The MCU's version)
M00r3C2026-01-19 20:21
Or Letterbox
Gremlin3032026-01-19 20:09
Man the marketing for this show is so cool. It’s a shame it’s being wasted on a show no one will watch
Federal-Captain11182026-01-19 20:55
>no one will watch
Well you're wrong.
Gremlin3032026-01-19 21:12
Wish I was. I’ll be watching it. But unfortunately I can’t see it gaining much viewership amongst the general audience
Federal-Captain11182026-01-19 21:36
So you're wrong about no one watching it then?
Gremlin3032026-01-19 21:39
Obviously. It was hyperbole. It will be watched. But not by enough people for it to be considered a success
Heisenburgo2026-01-20 16:22
The trailer already has like 13 million on YT, that's almost the same amount as the X-Men trailer for DOOM's Day. So who's to say there's not that much interest?
Myhtological2026-01-20 01:36
Ah the mcu. Where if you kinda know a hero, you get forgiven for all crimes
legomaximumfigure2026-01-20 05:01
Did they ever reveal if Trevor actually killed anyone? My guess is that he is on parole.
Myhtological2026-01-20 05:02
Yeah but he knew. Like he can say he didn’t know people were dying, but he knew it was some fucked up shit
CaptHayfever2026-01-20 09:43
One of the teasers has >!Cleary threaten to send Trevor back to prison to "finish his sentence" if Trevor doesn't spy on Simon!<.
Cjgraham35892026-01-20 10:50
At this point I kind of want this pulpy 1980’s Flash Gordon type version of the movie to be released.
jojopojo642026-01-21 02:01
Okay but now I need a review from in-universe Iman Vellani
Zod_Convoy2026-01-23 05:18
I love that it's basically Flash Gordon. Making it a pulp superhero movie instead of pulp sci-fi is brilliant. It's the MCU doing a send up of sci-fi remakes.
