MCU's Wonder Man star describes the new show as a "love letter to acting"

Yahya Abdul Mateen II in Wonder Man (2025).

December is only three months away (yep, there's a slice of festive fear with your Sunday), and with it comes the long-awaited arrival of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man. So far, we've only had a glimpse of the super-powered star in a teaser trailer and an appearance at the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps with Abdul-Mateen in full character, so we're still unsure just what to expect in the upcoming show that will be heading to Disney+. Thankfully, Arian Moayed, who will be reprising his role as Damage Control agent P. Clearly, has given us a minute morsel of what's on the cards, teasing that Mr. Williams is all about his talents as a thespian first and his skills as a superhero last.

In an interview with Variety, Moayed kept details limited but assured that "This show is a love letter to acting and the craft and the hard work of being an artist. It taps into something very, very unique and special and working with-...I can't even say who I worked with."
