Phase 6 of the MCU is coming really soon with The Fantastic Four: First Steps kicking off a new chapter in July. Marvel is lightening the load on both the big and small screen with fewer releases, and that’s rather exciting for fans. There will be more intentional focus on creating engaging and quality material and we cannot wait to see what’s coming next. As far as television, we have Wonder Man starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II heading our way in December. We haven’t seen footage from this series in a while, but Disney finally gave us another peek at Wonder Man in a :60 sizzle clip showing their remaining content for 2025.

About 28 seconds into the clip, we see Abdul-Mateen II’s Simon Williams get an ominous warning to stay away from a certain role. However, the soon-to-be Wonder Man says he was made for it. And there’s certainly a cost for it, at least from a psychological perspective.

He smashes a table with his bare hands and screams as things start to unravel around him. Oh boy. Hopefully we will start to get more information about Wonder Man now that we are only a few months away. We know that Simon has powers and wants to land a role as a superhero in a TV show, but that’s really about it for now.
