One of Marvel’s oldest characters, Wonder Man, is getting a show of their own, but not without a special cameo from a well-loved character. According to Variety, Ben Kingsley will reprise his role as Trevor Slattery, a failed actor, for an unspecified number of episodes. The series follows Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man, a son of a wealthy industrialist who competes with Stark Industries. After receiving superpowers from villain Baron Zemo, he eventually has an enemies-to-lovers-like plotline with the Avengers and joins them. Like most Marvel projects, details for Wonder Man are limited but it is said to be a Hollywood satire. (Williams was an actor and stuntman in the comics.) The series is co-created by Community’s Andrew Guest and Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton, adding in another Community alum to the Marvel universe.
