"The new trailer, that introduces the three main characters, is delivered with wit and-at last-some action. We've got Wonder Man himself Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), former Iron Man fake terrorist Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), and maverick director Von Kovak (Zlatko Buric), in a program that intends to send up the production of superhero movies, while telling a superhero story of its own."
"Things begin with Williams auditioning to play Wonder Man in a remake of a (fictional) 1970s cult hit, while hiding the fact that he himself has superpowers. The director of the movie is the eccentric Von Kovak, a former Oscar winner now lowering himself to the popularism and tired field of superhero movies in an attempt to revive the genre."
Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ January 27 and its new trailer finally shows the lead and the tone. The trailer introduces Simon Williams, Trevor Slattery, and director Von Kovak and combines witty satire with action. The plot frames Williams auditioning to play Wonder Man in a fictional 1970s remake while secretly possessing superpowers. Von Kovak is an eccentric, former Oscar winner dabbling in superhero films to revive the genre. Ben Kingsley reprises Trevor Slattery. The promo riffs on Rossini's The Barber of Seville and reveals powers like purple eye sparkles and destructive set effects.
