I Am Very Excited for the Wonder Man Show
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.

Star Wars: Visions is Coming Back!
We got a new trailer late last week for a new season of Star Wars: Visions, which is pretty darn awesome. This is the anthology show where they let a bunch of international animation studios, especially those that work on anime, do some out-of-continuity Star Wars adventures. So lightsabers and spaceships and the Empire and all that good stuff, but in short little cartoons. They’ve been a blast so far!
I couldn’t tell from the trailer, but I’ve heard that some of my favorite bits from season one are going to get sequels in this new season. That’s pretty cool! And then we’ll have more original cartoons. It’s all very fun and exciting.
Season three of Star Wars: Visions comes to Disney+ on Oct. 29.

First Trailer for Marvel Zombies Cartoon!
I will probably always and forever be unapologetically Marvel. It’s in my blood. It’s in my soul. I don’t think they went downhill after Endgame and I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve put out (except for most of Secret Invasion). Eyes of Wakanda was great! And now here comes Marvel Zombies!
Looks like a fun, crazy action show in which a couple of Marvel heroes are thrown up against a zombie apocalypse and the zombie Avengers. It’s spun off a What If episode of the same premise, and that’s perfectly fine by me.
Marvel Zombies is coming to Disney+ on Sept. 24. I believe all four episodes will drop at once.

Eyes of Wakanda Comes Out on Friday!
We knew the new Eyes of Wakanda cartoon was coming…but did we know that the entire 4-episode series will come out this Friday?! That’s soon! I can’t wait to watch this weekend!
Especially since we’re going to get an Iron Fist in this show! Wowzers! That’s pretty fun. I think Eyes of Wakanda is going to be about the history of Wakanda’s secret spies, traveling the world to collect Vibranium. I think it might also involve traveling dimensions? I don’t like that part. Just show us historic Wakanda in the main timeline. But I guess we’ll see what actually happens this weekend.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Friday, Aug. 1!

Ironheart is Only Two Weeks Away!
Ironheart is the next Marvel TV show on Disney+ and it comes out on June 24 — which is only two weeks away! I’m relatively excited. Nobody in the greater internet seems to have any faith in this show, but such was also the case with Agatha All Along and that was great! So I’m definitely keeping my expectations level for Ironheart.
Looks fine to me. I liked Wakanda Forever because I like pretty much all these Marvel Studios projects. I’m no hater. So I’m looking forward to Ironheart. With Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us over, I don’t have any current TV shows that I’m watching live each week. So bring on Ironheart!
I hope they establish some connection between Riri Williams and Tony Stark, even if she’s just inspired by him. Or are they just going to ignore that she’s building her own Iron Man armor and naming herself Ironheart?
