Two actors chase a superhero role for different reasons.
What is Wonder Man about?
Aspiring actor Simon Williams struggles to establish a career in Hollywood. A meeting with veteran performer Trevor Slattery draws both men toward a remake of Wonder Man, a superhero film that could change their professional lives.
Five things to know.
The starting situation
Simon Williams approaches the Wonder Man remake as a possible break for his acting career, while veteran Trevor Slattery brings a different professional history.
The world around it
The setting is the entertainment business, where auditions, reputations and another person’s expectations become obstacles alongside the familiar Marvel context.
The central pressure
Simon and Trevor stand at different points in their careers, giving the same opportunity very different meanings for each man.
The creative approach
Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest create the series, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley playing its two central performers.
Before episode one
The official setup centers on actors pursuing roles, so approach it as a Hollywood character story within Marvel’s world of superheroes.
A thought to take with you.
A superhero casting call becomes a way to ask who gets to be seen. Simon and Trevor want the same project, but they bring different needs to the audition.
Is it your kind of series?
Try it for a Marvel story interested in performance, ambition and an unlikely professional pairing. Expect a Hollywood setting and character friction alongside superhero connections.
Three ideas to take with you.
- Being recognized and being understood are different ambitions.
- A career opportunity can expose personal insecurity.
- Experience does not remove the need for another chance.
