(SeaPRwire) – Marvel surprised many fans by renewing its latest and possibly greatest series, Wonder Man, for a second season on Disney+. It’s uncommon for any Marvel show to continue beyond one season, with only Loki and Daredevil: Born Again truly succeeding in that regard. Most heroes eventually move on from Disney+, either appearing in another series—such as Agatha All Along—or making their way to the big screen, like Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau from WandaVision (Teyonah Parris), both featured in The Marvels.
Many expected Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) to follow a similar path, especially considering his level of power within the Marvel universe. As revealed in the final episode of Wonder Man, Simon has control over ionic energy, which, combined with his super strength and ability to fly, makes him a “powerful asset” for any organization dedicated to fighting crime or defending Earth. In short, he’s clearly Avengers material—and there’s a strong possibility he could appear in Avengers: Doomsday or another team-up film in the future. For now, though, Simon remains active within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it likely won’t be long before his story continues in Wonder Man Season 2.
Andrew Guest, co-showrunner of Wonder Man alongside Destin Daniel Cretton—director of Shang-Chi and Spider-Man: Brand New Day—confirmed that scripts for Season 2 are already being developed. He shared this update during The Hollywood Reporter’s Frontrunners panel in April.
Although Season 2 is still in early development, it’s reassuring to know the project is underway. If production stays on schedule, fans might see Simon Williams and his unlikely friend Trevor Slattery return as early as 2027 or 2028. Regardless, it’s encouraging to hear that more Wonder Man is coming—and that it will maintain the same themes and tone that made the first season such a delightful surprise.
“The people who enjoy this show and appreciate its unique feel will be rewarded,” Guest explained. “And for those hoping the series would suddenly shift into something entirely different, I’m afraid that won’t happen.”
Guest is likely responding to viewers who were expecting a more traditional superhero narrative from Wonder Man. Unlike typical Marvel fare, the series functions more as a genuine character study about someone with extraordinary abilities: it lacks flashy spectacle, relies less on explosive action sequences, and features no cameos from Avengers or other familiar characters. That distinct approach is precisely what made the show so refreshing—it reads almost like a buddy comedy set within the MCU, handling everyday life with greater confidence than similar shows like She-Hulk.
While Simon came closer than ever to fully embracing his potential as Wonder Man, Season 2 probably won’t radically alter the story’s direction. As Guest emphasized, the show remains “about two artists and our industry,” and that intimate focus ensures the wait will be worthwhile.
Wonder Man Season 1 is available to stream on Disney+.
