But we got our first trailer for the Marvel\/Disney+ series, and I have to say, I\u2019m super into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check it out below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marvel Television\u2019s Wonder Man | Official Trailer | Disney+\" width=\"1100\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lgoxHC7WF9w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At first blush, looks like a dramedy inspired by the Marvel comic, focusing on the actor\u2019s journey in landing a role. And the fact that they got Ben Kingsley to reprise his role as The Mandarin, ALL THE BETTER! Honestly, I kinda dig all of this. I mean, when the MCU first started, there was very much a package to Marvel movies. From the colors, set design, the general whole production, you can tell it was a \u201cMarvel\u201d movie. More Marvel Studios was putting out a product and not movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love me some Marvel movies\u2026 I mean, up until ENDGAME, then it\u2019s been hit and miss. But the MCU definitely had a look to it and love that projects seem to breaking from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THUNDERBOLTS was a great example of that. The look, the tone, look, the overall story, and whether or not it was intended, but the inferred overtones of Mental Wellness\u2026 it was definitely different from what had come before. I think Florence Pugh had said it was more an A24 movie than a Marvel one, and I couldn\u2019t agree more, in a positive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it looks like that shift is happening here too. And I love that this happening. Back with the DCEU, with Warner Bros. trying to play catch-up with the MCU, and it suffered from its \u201cpackaged\u201d look. And while that worked for Marvel in the early phases, the DCEU couldn\u2019t hit its stride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in that regard, I would offer DCEU had its best hits when the movies did their own thing and wasn\u2019t concerned with an interconnected universe. And while I think Marvel will never abandon the idea of an interconnected universe, I think, essentially, giving filmmakers the freedom to create more of an original piece is a great thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s something that it looks like we\u2019re getting with WONDER MAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But are we getting a superhero series? That\u2019s the question. While the trailer doesn\u2019t speak to it, the IMDB page references \u201cpowers\u201d, so who knows how that will play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WONDER MAN is coming from Destin Daniel Cretton (SHANG-CHI, which I also LOVED) and Andrew Guest, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the title role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WONDER MAN hits Disney+ on January 27<sup>th<\/sup>.
