Wonder Man review – a Marvel TV show with almost no superhero action … and it’s all the better for it

This gem of a series, about an actor with superpowers, is a clever, tender take on male friendship and the film industry. It’s a triumph of storytelling – and a masterclass in acting

We are back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you feel fatigue stealing over you already, banish it! It’s going to be OK. Even though Wonder Man is (by my incredulous reckoning) about the 30th MCU series produced by Marvel Television and companions – from the dizzying heights of WandaVision to … well, She-Hulk – it is a little gem.

And it is quite little, in MCU terms. Not only are the eight episodes only around half an hour long but they also eschew spectacle in favour of storytelling. It’s a radical idea, but you never know, it might catch on.

Wonder Man review: Marvel's meta new series is 'one of the best MCU shows to date'

Created by Shang-Chi and Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest (the latter of whom serves as showrunner for the season), Wonder Man is the second show to be released under the more character-driven Marvel Spotlight banner. That’s notable given just how different this latest MCU entry feels: there are no traditional heroes and villains here, and the superpowered action sequences are limited. Instead, we’re treated to a show which is less a superhero moviemaking satire — à la The Franchise — and more a meditation on acting as a profession, told through an unlikely but beautiful bromance between Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor Slattery (Sir Ben Kingsley). It’s a winning approach.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
