Wonder Man brought a fresh storytelling method to Marvel’s television shows with a buddy adventure. Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery’s journey to securing roles in a Wonder Man film was full of laughs, drama, and some emotionally resonant moments. Wonder Man’s season one left off with the duo heading to parts unknown, so fans were delighted when Disney renewed it for a second season back in March. Now, months later, Variety reports that Wonder Man season two is cancelled at Disney+.
This is shocking not only because of its recent renewal. Wonder Man also gained a big Emmy nomination for Yahya Abdul-Mateen II for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. It was a show that many critics loved to their surprise, too. And we barely got to see Simon start to come into his own as a hero.
He only wore the suit for a few brief minutes, and made the very bold choice to basically tank the career he’d always wanted to break Trevor out of prison. In a Marvel world where everything feels like intense homework and in need of many explainers, Wonder Man was just a chill funny show with good characters and an unlikely bromance. There were already clearly plans for what would come next, and now we will not get that anymore.
Right now, it is not clear exactly why Disney decided to cancel Wonder Man season two, but it doesn’t mean that we will never see these characters again. It is quite plausible for Simon and Trevor to appear elsewhere in the MCU in the future.
