Could Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man be teeing up a core part of the X-Men’s future?

Following the release of the latest Wonder Man trailer, some interesting images have begun flooding Marvel Studios' social media accounts, hinting at the role superpowers will play in the new show. While it might seem obvious for a franchise that's built on superhumans, up until now, the trailers have made a conscious effort to hide Simon Williams' (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) powers, and now it's clear to see why.

The exceptionally put-together new preview finally revealed some of the many powers Williams has, which he’s putting on the back burner to make it big in Hollywood. Unfortunately, it looks like Damage Control is keen to flag and restrain anyone with an enhanced spring in their step, which will make things difficult for Simon. The Marvel Studios X account has highlighted this, courtesy of close-ups of newspapers and trade magazines reporting that cast and crew on projects are required to sign a “Doorman” policy that verifies they are just talented actors without any extra special perks.
