At last, we know what “Shang-Chi” director Destin Daniel Cretton is working on for Disney+! An untitled Marvel Studios project was announced by the House of Mouse streaming service last year, with Cretton at the head. Today, we know a little more about what it’ll be.
Cretton will be teaming up with Andrew Guest (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine“) for series based on Marvel Comics character Wonder Man. Guest will serve as head writer, while Cretton is executive producing, as well as possibly directing at least one episode.
Wonder Man first appeared back in Avengers #9 in 1964. He did get his own book, too. So, as you can see, he’s a legacy character. He was a founding member of the West Coast Avengers, which we know Marvel Studios is building up to with Kate Bishop and Shang-Chi being introduced to the MCU.
We don’t know anything about casting yet, or when production is likely to kick off. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
