While Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have slowed down the pace of upcoming MCU TV shows to fans with Disney+ subscriptions, there are still plenty of high-profile projects that are already confirmed for our future enjoyment. One of the most exciting superhero projects from any studio is the first live-action series devoted to Wonder Man, with Watchmen breakout Yahya Abdul-Mateen II having been cast in the lead role of Simon Williams. It now sounds like things are shaping up behind the scenes ahead of the planned filming start, with another huge cast report indicating that Fear the Walking Dead and Justified vet Demetrius Grosse has joined the show in the role that seems destined to become the MCU’s Grim Reaper.
Following up on rumors that started popping up online earlier in March 2023, TVLine is reporting that Grosse is officially signed up to take on the role of Eric Williams, who’s not only the brother of Yahya Abdul-Matteen II’s Simon, but is also a key Marvel character in his own right. And that comic book history is largely what fans will have to go on at this point, since Marvel and Disney+ are keeping Wonder Man details close to the vest, with neither entity officially confirming the casting news, to be expected.
