Wonder Man aka Simon Williams’ character in Marvel Comics was an actor as well as a stuntman who got his superpower with the help of Baron Zemo. So as the character ofBen Kingsleyis also a failed actor in MCU, it is expected that he will be one of the important characters of the series. It is a possibility that the show will dive further into Hollywood affairs and politics. It may act as a satire similar to the ongoingShe-Hulkseries.
TheShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawwhich is currently streaming on Disney+ focuses on Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk who’s a lawyer. The show presents itself as a satire as it uses comedy as a tool to raise several valid questions on serious matters. As it is reported that the upcoming Wonder Man will also go along the line of this show, it raises more excitement among the fans.
TheShang-Chidirector Destin Daniel Cretton is also reported to be co-creating this series. As for now, there’s hardly any information known about the series.

Trevor Slattery’s journey in the MCU
Ben Kingsley was spotted for the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe inIron Man 3. In that movie, the character of Trevor Slattery was shown as an actor who was hired to act as the terrorist Mandarin of the Ten Rings organization. But at the end of the movie, the truth was revealed and he was arrested.
Later in a Short film released by MarvelAll Hail the King, it was revealed that he was released from prison on the orders of the real Mandarin. Following a long gap, Trevor Slattery was again seen in Phase 4’sShang-Chi and The Legend of Ten Ringswhere he was being kidnapped by the real Mandarin Wenwu. Then he was helped by Shang-Chi and his friends to break free.
Now as Slattery is also connected to the industry as a failed actor, he can play an important part in Simon Williams’ life. Wonder Man’s background also has the movie industry linked to his name so it will be exciting to watch how the character dynamics between him and Trevor Slattery goes. Who will play Wonder Man is still unknown.
