THE RUNDOWN

Marvel Studios officially renewed Wonder Man for a second season on Disney+.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II returns as Simon Williams, the show's lead hero.
Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3.
Creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest are returning for Season 2.
Wonder Man becomes one of the few MCU series with multiple seasons.

Simon Williams is sticking around for another round. Marvel Studios has officially greenlit a second season of Wonder Man for Disney+. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will lead the series once again as the titular hero, Simon Williams. He is joined by Ben Kingsley, who returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the fan-favorite actor Trevor Slattery.

Behind the scenes, the creative engine remains intact. Co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest are confirmed to return for the sophomore outing. Cretton, who previously directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, continues his partnership with Disney through this Hollywood-centric superhero tale. This renewal places the series in an elite club, as most live-action MCU shows on Disney+ have remained limited, single-season projects.

The news signals a shift in strategy as Disney+ moves toward multi-season storytelling for its Marvel television slate. While a specific production start date for Season 2 hasn't been finalized, the return of the lead cast and showrunners confirms the studio’s long-term commitment to the character. Wonder Man is expected to offer a satirical look at the film industry within the context of the broader MCU.
