"Oh my Zod y'all, I love Wonder Man, a TV show that exists at the direct center of many of my interests (superhero action, meta Hollywood storytelling, Ben Kingsley being a lil weirdo). Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as a struggling actor up for the role of a lifetime, while also harboring a secret that could ruin his career - fortunately, somewhat disgraced veteran thespian Trevor Slattery (Kingsley) has decided to take him under his wing."
"Oh, except for two things: You can dive into this without knowing pretty much anything about the past or present MCU (especially compared to other Marvel projects) - the only project you might want to revisit first is Iron Man 3. Additionally, Wonder Man features a few really fun celebrity cameos, and it's aware of a key fact about celebrity cameos: They get funnier the more the celebrity's full name is repeated by other characters (or the celebrity themself)."
New and recent streaming releases across major platforms are highlighted, with picks spanning Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Paramount+, and Peacock. Wonder Man on Disney+ stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a struggling actor mentored by Trevor Slattery, played by Ben Kingsley, blending superhero action with meta Hollywood comedy across eight episodes. The series stands apart from other Marvel Studios productions and can be enjoyed without deep MCU knowledge, with Iron Man 3 as the only suggested prior reference. The series employs playful celebrity cameos that lean on repeated full-name comedy. Mary Bronstein’s film If I Had Legs I'd Kick You appears on HBO Max.
