Wonder Man | First Look Trailer (2025) Yahya Abdul-Mateen II | Disney+

Although the first footage of Wonder Man didn't show off the titular character's actual superhuman powers, it is brilliant to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II finally in action as Simon Williams. I was also thrilled to see Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery return to the MCU, as he became one of my instant favorite characters following his debut in 2013's Iron Man 3. Wonder Man is one of the most powerful and significant heroes in Marvel Comics, so I'm very excited to see him join the MCU, and the new footage of the series has only supported by excitement.

It's unclear how faithfully Marvel Studios will adapt Wonder Man's origin story. In Marvel Comics, Simon Williams becomes Wonder Man after being enhanced by Baron Heinrich Zemo. He is sent to infiltrate the Avengers and lure them into a trap, but he ends up saving and joining the superhero team instead. I can't wait to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Simon Williams receive his powers and become an actor in the upcoming series, which promises to be a fast-paced and exhilarating debut for Wonder Man that could even connect him to other MCU heroes.
