Marvel Rolls Out ‘Wonder Man’ Promo Featuring Trevor Slattery on Ben Mankiewicz’s ‘Bad Actors’

The in-universe interview uses real-world trappings to extend the show’s satirical take on celebrity culture.

Overview

  • Marvel Studios released a new promotional clip placing Sir Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery on Ben Mankiewicz’s Bad Actors podcast.
  • In the segment, Slattery dismisses questions about his Mandarin past and redirects attention to his Wonder Man role, “Barnaby.”
  • The exchange escalates and the character storms out of the mock interview, emphasizing the campaign’s comedic tone.
  • The spot follows November’s Slattery-focused piece, The Slattery Method, reinforcing a meta, reality-blurring marketing approach.
  • Wonder Man is slated to premiere on Disney+ on January 27, 2026, led by Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II as Simon Williams.
