Fear The Walking Dead's Demetrius Grosse Boards Wonder Man In Villainous Role

Wonder Man himself will be played by Yahya Abdul Mateen II, who memorably starred as Cal Abar in HBO's "Watchmen." TVLine also reported that Ben Kinglsey is being eyed to star in the show as Trevor Slattery. Kingsley played Slattery in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films "Iron Man 3" and "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," and became a beloved character.

Since reports suggest "Wonder Man" may be a quasi-comedy along the lines of the streamer's "She-Hulk," Slattery's presence in the series suggests that humor may be on the slate after all. However, the superhero program's exact narrative details are not currently known. Eric is the black sheep of the Williams family compared to Simon, so a hefty dose of drama and action is also likely since the two brothers often battle in the comics.

"Wonder Man" is being developed by Deston Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest of "Shang-Chi" and "Brooklyn-Nine-Nine," respectively.
