After a nifty little meta snippet teased a director daring to revisit the forgotten hero that was Wonder Man, a brand-new trailer has been released, debuting at NYCC, that shows Yahya Abdul-Mateen II taking on the role he was made for, just as long as Leo doesn't get there first. Taking a closer look at Disney+'s next big MCU show, Simon Williams is the actor eager to make a name for himself and take on the titular hero in what feels like a superhero version of The Studio, and honestly, we're sold on the show already.
The new preview, which is severely lacking in superhero antics (not that we're complaining), sees Williams trying out for the role of Wonder Man, the lead hero in the remake of the forgotten superhero movie that no one asked to be revived. Facing all manner of competition that includes legendary thesp and former terrorist, Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), the trailer ends with Williams turning up to face off against the final batch of contenders to join in the film, that according to its director, will leave the rest of the world deciding to give up movie making forever. Honestly, we're not so sure.
