Cameras are now rolling on Marvel Studios' upcoming Wonder Man Disney+ series, and the first photos from the set have been shared online.
Unfortunately, we don't have a first look at Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the titular hero or Demetrius Grosse as his brother Eric Williams, aka the Grim Reaper, but the snaps do provide a glimpse of Sir Ben Kingsley as the returning Trevor Slattery.
The eccentric Slattery was introduced in Iron Man 3 as the "Fake Mandarin," and recently popped up for a memorable role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. We're not sure what part he'll play in Wonder Man, but he is an actor, and the show has been described as a "Hollywood satire."
Check out the photos at the link below.
The project has also been called a “a love letter to LA and the industry," and producers Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest are said to be going for a tone similar to shows such as Silicon Valley, Dave, and Barry.
Stella Meghie (The Photograph) had been tapped to direct multiple episodes. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is on board as a writer along with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 30 Rock, and Community scribe Andrew Guest, who will also serve as showrunner.
No premiere date has been announced.
