As a Marvel fan, I was really excited about the new Wonder Man trailer, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! It pretty much confirms what many of us suspected – that Trevor Slattery, played by Ben Kingsley, isn’t exactly who he seems. After we loved seeing him again in Shang-Chi, it looked like he was going to be Wonder-Man’s partner, but the latest trailer suggests he might actually be turning bad. It looks like his days as a somewhat reformed guy from Iron Man 3 could be over, and I’m honestly a little worried about where things are headed! It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out in the new Disney+ series.
The new trailer for Wonder Man hints that Trevor Slattery might betray Simon Williams, potentially changing their relationship. At the 1 minute and 36 second mark, Trevor is shown speaking with P. Cleary, an agent from the Department of Damage Control (DODC), who has previously appeared in Marvel projects like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ms. Marvel.
Okay, so I just heard something crazy! Agent Cleary straight-up told Trevor that the DODC thinks Wonder Man – Simon Williams – is a huge danger! Basically, they’ve got him on their radar and he’s a major target now. It’s pretty scary!
“The Department of Damage Control considers Simon Williams as an extraordinary threat.”
The trailer throws us a curveball with a visibly confused Trevor. It looks like Cleary is trying to manipulate him, potentially offering a reward if he turns Simon in. Right now, Trevor seems completely in the dark about Simon’s powers, but the trailer hints that won’t last. We get glimpses and hear snippets of dialogue that strongly suggest he’s going to discover just how extraordinary his friend really is.
Throughout the eight episodes of Wonder Man, Trevor is likely to turn against Simon, especially if the Department of Damage Control offers him a path to Hollywood stardom. This potential betrayal aligns with earlier comments from Ben Kingsley, who revealed the series will explore how Trevor becomes a villain.
Because the trailer heavily featured the close bond between Trevor and Simon, Simon’s likely betrayal will be a deeply upsetting moment for both the main character and viewers.
The latest trailer for Wonder Man revealed more of Simon’s abilities, specifically his incredible strength – he easily smashed furniture with his fists. This display of power likely contributed to Trevor’s growing realization of how dangerous Simon is, and may be the reason Trevor ultimately decides to betray him.
Fans can watch the full trailer below:
There’s a lot of excitement building for Wonder Man, a new series from Destin Daniel Cretton, the director behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The show will star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley, alongside Demetrius Grosse, Zlatko Burić, and Arian Moayed. All eight episodes will be available to stream on Disney+ starting January 27, 2026.
Will ‘Wonder Man’ Redeem Trevor Following His Betrayal?
Most fans anticipate Trevor Slattery will turn on Simon Williams in the upcoming Wonder Man series. This could happen easily if Slattery simply gives away Williams’ location, leading to his capture by the Department of Damage Control.
Even though he used to be a villain in Iron Man 3, there’s hope for redemption. His role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings showed he’s capable of being a hero when needed.
Judging by how Marvel Studios is promoting the Wonder Man series, it seems Trevor will be guiding Simon, possibly as a mentor or acting coach, as Simon tries to land the lead role in a new Wonder Man movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even though Trevor is expected to betray Simon, their growing friendship throughout the series might influence him, potentially leading him to change his ways and ultimately help Simon when the moment arrives.
If Trevor assists Simon in evading Agent Cleary and the DODC, it would solidify his transformation into a hero within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fully making up for his past actions as the impostor Mandarin in Iron Man 3.
