Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man Gets a Release Date Window | Popgen Tech

Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man was reported to be in development as of June 2022, prompting fans to speculate that it won’t be released right away. However, a new update shows that it may be coming to Disney+ sooner than expected.

The MCU is expanding by adding a surprising new Marvel hero to the shared universe in the form of Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Director Destin Daniel Cretton has been tapped to develop the Disney+ series, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine author Andrew Guest as its head writer.

The exact details of the plot are still under wraps, but a previous report revealed that it will be set in Hollywood. Aquaman Star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is set to play the titular character, and will be joined by a returning Ben Kingsley, who will reprise his role as Trevor Slattery.

At this point, it is not confirmed if Wonder Man will be set in either Phase 5 or 6, but it looks like it will be the latter.

When Will Wonder Man Be Released?

According to the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the page of Wonder Man Showrunner and head writer Andrew Guest has listed the MCU series for the 2023-2024 release season.

In the list, Wonder Man is recognized as a drama for the 2023-2024 TV season, meaning it will likely premiere in the second half of 2023 or the first half of 2024.

If so to Wonder Man production is still some ways off and takes that into account Daredevil: Born Again (set to premiere in Spring 2024) is expected to run until early summer 2024, fans expect Wonder Man to premiere at the end of the listed release window (mid-2024) if it stays in this season window.

Will Wonder Man Be Delayed Amid MCU Slate Concerns?

At this point, a 2024 release is likely for Wonder Manconsidering the current situation of other Marvel shows.

However, previous reports suggest that a delay could be imminent as Marvel Studios is expected to reduce the number of movies and TV shows released in 2023 and 2024. This is mainly due to Marvel’s dissatisfaction with Phase 4, resulting in potentially major changes in Phases 5 and 6.

If this change continues, then so be it Wonder ManIts release could be further down the line, with the possibility of an early 2025 release timeframe.

This move can be really beneficial Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton as he is rumored to be directing at least one episode of Wonder Man.

That said, Cretton’s preparation for The Avengers Kang Dynasty are likely to be affected if such delays occur, meaning the crossover movie could also be pushed back from its May 2025 release timeframe.

Hopefully, Marvel Studios will address the potential changes to its slate to clear up confusion among fans.
