Marvel revealed the first full Wonder Man trailer at New York Comic-Con this past weekend and I am very excited. I’ve never particularly cared about the character in the comics, but I really, really love the premise of the show. The first trailer gives us a pretty good look at that premise.

So Wonder Man was an old school sci-fi movie in the MCU and it’s getting a modern movie reboot, and the main character of the show wants to play Wonder Man in the movie. That sounds really interesting and neat! I like a good meta show.

The show was created by Destin Daniel Cretton, the guy behind Shang-Chi and, I think, the next Spider-Man movie, so Marvel has a lot of faith in him. And it stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is good in everything. So I’ve got a lot of faith and hope in this one.

I just wish that trailer had given us some kind of hint as to what’s really going on. Is the actor going to get super-powers? Is the director up to something sinister? Or maybe it really is just surface level Hollywood stuff.

We’ll find out when Wonder Man comes to Disney+ on Jan. 27.
