After years of anticipation, it finally seems Wonder Man is arriving on Disney+ later this year. As shown in an action-packed new teaser, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is set to play an actor that turns into a superhero, but by the looks of it, it won’t be an easy transition.
Disney+ released a new trailer for the rest of their 2025 slate, which includes brand-new footage of Wonder Man and the titular hero’s reality-shaking superpowers. Abdul-Mateen II will also be joined by Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, who previously appeared in Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. An official release date was not revealed during the teaser, but it does confirm that it will premiere on the streamer this year. Wonder Man is currently expected to hit Disney+ this December. You can check out the new footage below.

There Is No Marvel Crisis as Divisive MCU Entries Dominate Streaming Ahead of Phase 6
Two high-flying MCU heroes are flying the flag on Disney+ and pushing back on the idea that MCU fatigue is real.
Wonder Man is composed of eight 30-minute episodes, not unlike HBO’s Barry, another drama that mixed comedy. However, Wonder Man might actually end up being a more tame, superpowered version of Apple’s The Studio, which satirized the inner workings of the Hollywood movie system. The Disney+ miniseries was created by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi, Spider-Man: Brand New Day) and Andrew Guest (30 Rock), with the latter serving as the showrunner. In addition to Abdul-Mateen and Kingsley, Demetrius Grosse as Eric Williams / Grim Reaper, Ed Harris as Neal Saroyan, Lauren Glazier, Josh Gad, Byron Bowers, Béchir Sylvain, and Manny McCord.
‘Wonder Man’ Described as “The Best Show No One’s Ever Seen”
Despite years of anticipation, it seems Wonder Man will be well worth the wait. Well, at least according to Marvel Television. During an interview with Collider, Marvel’s Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation Brad Winderbaum talked about Wonder Man, which has been in development since 2021. He had massive praise for the upcoming Disney+ series, which he called “one of my favorite things ever.” Wonder Man is headed to the streamer this December, so audiences will be able to judge for themselves soon enough.
“Wonder Man is eight episodes. It’s a very new flavor for Marvel. It’s straight from the minds of Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest. Honestly, it is one of my favorite things ever. I think it’s the best show no one’s ever seen, and I’m very excited to see the audience reaction to it. I think it’s a love letter to what we do as filmmakers. It’s a love letter to acting as a profession, and it’s a very sincere, beautiful show.”
Wonder Man seems to be the most unique MCU series yet, especially since it will likely feature a meta commentary about the state of filmmaking. Armed with a stacked cast and crew, Wonder Man might be able to reinvigorate the MCU slate on Disney+, which recently got a nice streaming boost with Ironheart.
