Marvel Studios has dropped a new trailer for Wonder Man, along with an official poster for the upcoming Disney+ series. The trailer gives fans an exclusive look at Simon Williams’ powers and what sets him apart in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Simon, who’s played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, plays an aspiring actor who’s chasing his big break. While auditioning for a superhero reboot, he secretly hides his real abilities, but the trailer shows that his powers are starting to slip out.
The teaser highlights Simon’s strength and energy bursts, showing that he doesn’t fully understand or control what he can do. Instead of acting like a trained hero, Simon struggles to keep his abilities in check.
The trailer also makes it clear that Simon’s emotions are tied to his powers. As stress, fame, and pressure build, his hidden abilities begin to surface, putting him at risk of being exposed and hurting others. The series appears to focus on how his identity, past trauma, and powers are closely connected.
Things get more serious when the Department of Damage Control steps in. Agent P. Cleary, played by Arian Moayed, labels Simon as a major concern, saying, “The Department of Damage Control considers Simon Williams an extraordinary threat.”
In Marvel Comics, Wonder Man gets his powers from ionic energy, giving him super strength, durability, and more. While the trailer doesn’t explain everything, it hints that Simon could become incredibly powerful if he loses control.
The new poster leans into a Hollywood-style look, teasing Simon’s rise into the spotlight.
