How old is Simon Williams supposed to be?

In the first episode, we see him in 1980 watching the Wonder Man movie. He looks like he's probably already 8 at that point which would make him well into his 50s but he definitely doesn't look that old. I guess if he was blipped that might make him a bit younger though.

Does it say it was 1980 or that the movie came out in 1980? Seemed pretty clear from the way his dad was talking that they were watching an older movie.

Oh, you might have a point there. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be a new release but I don't think they specified.

Bro the dad talks about it being old for basically his entire screentime. Stop watching tiktok while trying to watch other things.

Simon's not young, but he's not old either. I'd put him somewhere around 30, maybe even mid-30s in the present day. Mid-30s might even have been quoted in the show.

Which conservatively, would put his dad somewhere around the 16-20 y.o. mark in 1980 if that is when the original Wonder Man came out.

I think the scenes with young Simon just *look* much older because of the old architecture of the cinema, burger joint, etc, when really it should be somewhere around the 2000s mark.

That’s right; in the later episode when it flashes back to Simon and his dad go to the cinema, there’s a short line from his Dad like “it’s an old one but still good.” as they walk into the cinema

Was it for sure the 80s? I don't remember, but I thought the movie just got re-released in that theater since his dad mentioned being a fan of it when he was younger. I figured Simon was probably early to mid 30s? If not, then it wouldn't be the first time the MCU had a timeline issue though.

I guess you're right. The movie was just released in the 80s.

I don’t think we ever get a hard confirmation on the flashback dates. And his dad mentions they are watching a re-release of the original Wonderman. Probably a little younger than Yahya Abdul-Mateen II so he’s probably early to mid 30’s

The movie was a re release

He’s watching a theater rerun, this is stated later on >!when there’s a flashback and it shows his father taking him there, where he mentions that the movie had been out for a while and even saying that the special effects “were good at the time”!<
