Yahya Abdul-Mateen II In Talks To Lead The New Marvel/Disney+ Series, Wonder Man
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is currently in talks to join the cast of the New Marvel/Disney+ series, Wonder Man. The actor is set to take on the leading role of Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man.
According to Deadline, “Williams gains ion-based superpowers, including super strength, while working under the villainous Baron Zemo and establishing himself as an antagonist to The Avengers, though he later decides to become part of that same superhero team.”
It is most likely that his trajectory in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be heavily tied to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany). All three characters share quite a few storylines, and he becomes a love interest for Maximoff down the line.
