Marvel took a lot of fans by surprise when it renewed its latest (and, perhaps, best?) series, Wonder Man, for another season on Disney+. That any Marvel show gets to continue beyond its first season is rare, with only Loki and Daredevil: Born Again really fulfilling that expectation. Most heroes move on after appearing on Disney+, either to another show entirely (like Agatha All Along) or to the big screen, as Ms. Marvel’s Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) did in The Marvels.
Many expected the latter for Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), given where he falls on the spectrum of power for Marvel heroes. As we learned in the last episode of Wonder Man, Simon can control ionic energy, which, alongside his super-strength and capacity for flight, would make him a “powerful asset” to any crime-fighting, Earth-defending agency. In short, he’s definitely Avengers material — and there’s every chance he could pop up in Avengers: Doomsday or another team-up down the line. For now, though, Simon is holding down his corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it might not be long before his adventures continue in Wonder Man Season 2.
