Marvel Finds Its Wonder Man for Disney+ Series!
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Wonder Man!
Wonder Man was first introduced to Marvel Comics in 1964 via The Avengers No. 9.
Via Deadline: “The character otherwise known as Simon Williams is the son of the industrialist Sanford Williams and assumes control of his munitions outfit following his passing, seeing its successes limited when it comes into competition with Tony Stark’s Stark Industries. The younger Williams gains ion-based superpowers, including super strength, while working under the villainous Baron Zemo and establishing himself as an antagonist to The Avengers, though he later decides to become part of that same superhero team.”
Notably, Yahya starred in DC’s Aquaman and its upcoming sequel, but it seems he’s now making the switch to Marvel!
