The trailer, released on Sunday, gives a sneak peek into Simon’s world. It shows Simon learning that a filmmaker named Von Kovak, played by Zlatko Buric, is remaking the classic Wonder Man movie.

Wonder Man is inspired by the Marvel Comics character created way back in 1964 by legends Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Don Heck. Simon Williams is the son of a rich businessman who gains ionic superpowers after a deal goes wrong with the villain Baron Zemo. In the comics, Simon starts as a villain but becomes a hero, joins the Avengers, and later turns into an actor in Los Angeles. Now, this dynamic story comes alive on screen with a fun Hollywood twist! Originally planned for a December release, the show will now premiere on Disney+ on January 27, 2025.
