MCU star Iman Vellani has nothing but positive things to say about the new Wonder Man show.
Marvel Television’s Wonder Man was officially released earlier this month. Created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, the show stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams/Wonder Man, while Ben Kingsley reprises his Trevor Slattery MCU role.
Vellani, meanwhile, plays Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel in the MCU. The character first showed up in the Ms. Marvel miniseries that was released in 2022 before she then shared the screen with Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau in 2023’s The Marvels.
What did Iman Vellani say about the Wonder Man show?
On Letterboxd, Vellani shared her four-and-a-half-star review of Marvel’s Wonder Man.
Vellani wrote, “Watch ? Wonder ? Man ? And if that was not convincing enough, allow me to briefly tickle ur inner skeptic with a list! If you like movies, watch Wonder Man. If you like movies about movies, watch Wonder Man. If you’re a Midnight Cowboy fan, watch Wonder Man. If you’ve seen every Marvel ever — or no Marvels at all — watch Wonder Man. If you prefer your superheroes human first and super second, watch Wonder Man. If you’re a lil sucker for a mentorship buddy-comedy, watch Wonder Man. If you forgot what sincerity looks like, watch Wonder Man. If you miss Ben Kingsley’s “Uh-merica” delivery, watch Wonder Man.
“If you’re craving something breathable and refreshingly uninterested in assaulting you with lore, watch Wonder Man. If you appreciate some baller needle drops, watch Wonder Man. If you miss when the MCU was grounded and kinda weird and small and a little sad, or perhaps you’ve felt like something’s been missing lately and you can’t quiteee put your finger on what —congrats. You’ve found it. Watch Wonder Man. If you like when people who CLEARLY care make projects for people who REALLY care — watch Wonder Man.
“Okay, that’s all I’ve got. To summarize…WWM! (Note: This message was written under the pure influence of joy. No Kevins and/or Feiges are currently present).”
All eight episodes of Marvel Studios‘ Wonder Man are now available to stream on Disney+.
