Wonder Man’s Surprising Power Revealed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

I’m so excited about the upcoming Wonder Man series! Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently gave us some insight into what his character, Simon Williams, can do – his powers sound amazing. They even showed a trailer at New York Comic-Con with Yahya and Ben Kingsley, which looked fantastic. Unfortunately, it seems like we’ll have to wait just a little longer – the show is now scheduled to come out in January 2026 instead of December 2025, but I’m still counting down the days!

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on what Wonder Man’s super power is in MCU

Jason Momoa, known for playing Aquaman, recently spoke at New York Comic Con. He discussed the abilities of his character, Simon Williams, in the upcoming movie, Wonder Man.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II didn’t share many details, but suggested that Simon Williams’ greatest strength is his acting ability. He explained to Rotten Tomatoes, “Simon is trying to discover what his powers are. He’d actually say his superpower is his skill as an actor.”

Abdul Mateen said the new series will show viewers how well he balances the demands of playing a superhero and being an actor.

Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of TV and streaming, recently discussed the upcoming show *Wonder Man* with Entertainment Weekly. He described it as a unique and personal project, unlike anything Marvel has done before. Winderbaum explained that while the show is set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s essentially a story about the world of Hollywood, and more specifically, the life and career of an actor trying to make it there.

Winderbaum explained that while both *Wonder Man* and *The Studio* involve the film industry, they’re quite different. *Wonder Man* is a heartfelt story that really emphasizes the actors’ performances and the dedication to their craft. *The Studio*, on the other hand, focuses more on the larger, chaotic world of Hollywood and the business side of filmmaking. He described *Wonder Man* as a personal look at an actor pursuing his ambitions despite the pressures of the outside world and financial needs.
