The show was first revealed to be in the works in June. It will focus on the Marvel character Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man. In the comics, Williams is the son of a wealthy industrialist whose company falls on hard times due to competition from Tony Stark’s Stark Industries. Williams then receives an offer from the evil Baron Zemo that gives him ionic superpowers, including super strength and durability. After fighting several times with the Avengers, Wonder Man eventually joined their ranks. Kingsley returning as Slattery lends credence to reports that the series is intended to be a Hollywood satire, as it has been established that Slattery is a failed actor and Wonder Man has been an actor and stuntman in the comics. Exactly how Kingsley would play into the show’s plot and how many episodes he would appear in has not been revealed, but sources say he will play a major role. Kingsley’s representatives declined to comment. Marvel Studios does not comment on projects in development. Kingsley first portrayed Slattery in “Iron Man 3.” In that film, Slattery is hired to play a terrorist leader known as The Mandarin, but his true identity is revealed at the end and he is arrested. He then appeared in the short film ‘All Hail the King’, which shows Slattery in prison before being broken out by someone working for the real Mandarin. Most recently, Kingsley played Slattery in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” He was captured by the Mandarin, Shang-Chi’s father, Su Wenwu, who kept him alive as a sort of court jester. Shang-Chi and his friends eventually help him escape and he in turn helps them defeat Wenwu. The role reunites Kingsley with Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed and co-wrote “Shang-Chi” and will executive produce and co-create the Wonder Man series. Kingsley is one of the most famous actors of the modern era, known for roles in films such as “Gandhi”, “Sexy Beast”, “House of Sand and Fog”, “Bugsy” and “Schindler’s List”. He earned Academy Award nominations for the first four of the aforementioned films, winning Best Actor for ‘Gandhi’. He is also a four-time Emmy nominee and has starred in recent shows such as Epix’s neo-noir series “Perpetual Grace Ltd.” and the Netflix miniseries version of “Watership Down.” Kingsley is repped by CAA, Independent Talent Group and Goodman Genow. Andrew Guest will be head writer on the Wonder Man show. Cretton will executive produce and possibly direct the series, in addition to co-creating with Guest. Cretton currently has an overall deal with Marvel Studios and Onyx Collective, the announcement of which coincided with the announcement that Cretton would be returning to direct and write the “Shang-Chi” sequel.
