‘Wonder Man’ shows, again, why the MCU is superior on TV with a grounded Hollywood story

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before, since I’m admittedly something of a broken record on the subject, but I very much prefer Marvel’s television series, which tend to be fleet, original and unpredictable, to its movies, which tend not to be. “Loki,” “Ms. Marvel,” “Moon Knight,” “Echo,” “WandaVision” and its spinoff “Agatha All Along” — all (among others) are worth watching, even the ones that are dumped after a season.
Developing longer stories with less money, the TV shows makers need to be inventive, creative with their resources, so they invest in characters and ideas rather than special effects and action. They focus on secondary or ensemble figures who would never be given a theatrical feature of their own to carry, are particular about culture and family and place, and are often less contingent on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with its phases and stages, its crossovers and cross-promotions and long-range marketing plans. At once higher concept and more grounded than the movies, they’re interesting on their own, to the point where, when they finally hitch on to the Marvel multi-mega-serial train, I find them disappointing.
What You Need to Know Before Watching ‘Wonder Man’
In case you haven’t heard, Marvel Studios will go head-to-head with Warner Bros. in one of the biggest box office battles of the year when Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three hit theaters on December 18. But long before “Dunesday” arrives, Marvel is kicking off 2026 with a release on the small screen: Wonder Man.
Created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, Wonder Man premieres on Tuesday, when all eight of its episodes will launch on Disney+. The new streaming series is just the second TV show, after 2024’s Echo, to appear under the Marvel Spotlight banner, which contains grounded, character-driven stories that prioritize smaller stakes over larger MCU continuity. In the case of Wonder Man, Marvel is setting aside its multiversal affairs for some Hollywood satire: The series centers on an actor named Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who’s hoping to land a starring role in a superhero movie while hiding his own superpowers.
