Wonder Man Premieres Jan. 27 on Disney+ as New TV Spot Showcases Strong Reviews

Marvel leans on early critical praise to introduce a grounded, Hollywood-set Marvel Spotlight series.

Overview

  • All eight episodes will stream exclusively on Disney+ at 6 p.m. PT on January 27.
  • A newly released TV spot highlights critic quotes and concludes with nearly the full text of an Inverse review scrolling on screen.
  • Early aggregator scores stand at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, tying the series with Loki Season 1, Hawkeye, and WandaVision.
  • Showrunner Andrew Guest says a potential second season will hinge on audience response rather than a predetermined plan.
  • Created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, the series stars Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II with Ben Kingsley and emphasizes a character-driven Hollywood story as the origin of Simon Williams’s powers remains intentionally unresolved.
