Wonder Man director teases the "crazy journey" Trevor Slattery and Simon Williams could go on in season 2 of the Marvel show

Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams in Wonder Man.

Wonder Man is one of Marvel's most delightful surprises, and the cast has teased what they would like to see when the story continues in season 2 – and director Destin Daniel Cretton and writer Andrew Guest have also hinted at what to expect.

The Disney Plus show revolves around the odd couple friendship between Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Simon Williams, and it sounds like that will continue to be at the forefront of Wonder Man season 2.

"There's so much fun to be had in whatever crazy journey they're going to go on next together," Cretton says in a video shared to Marvel's Twitter account. "But I also think there's a deep well, both in Simon Williams but also Trevor Slattery, to get to know them more and to understand their past."

While that sounds like a very grounded extension of the first season, Kingsley has a different idea for Trevor. "I would love Trevor's story to go into outer space," he shared. "But I probably find that a bit of a stretch." Later in the video, he adds: "But I'd love to have him visit other planets."

Guest, creator, writer, and executive producer, says: "More Simon and Trevor, more entertainment stories, and also, some new things that we didn't quite get to explore. And I know I'm being vague, but I don't want to get in trouble with any of my bosses."

X Mayo, who plays Janelle Jackson, had one particular open plot thread in mind. "One thing that I'm excited is to see, where is Josh Gad? Where is he? He's somewhere just floating. So, I'm excited for that, and to see how Simon's character, Wonder Man, progresses."

"Truthfully, if you are going in to watch this show expecting a superhero show that is typically like something you've seen before, I think you will not like the show, if that's all you want," Cretton previously told us. "But I also think you'll probably, if you watch it all the way through, surprisingly, fall in love with these characters and find that this show, even though it's not a typical superhero show, to me, uses the genre in a way that is so much more exciting and interesting than just watching two people fight."

Wonder Man season 2 doesn't yet have a release date. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.
