Five months ago, we reported that Marvel was developing a live-action Wonder Man series with Shan Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton as a manufacturer e Andrea Guest (Hawk eye) as lead writer and executive producer.
Now we hear from The Illuminerdi that they are looking to launch Bob Odenkirk from breaking Bad Better to call SaulAnd Nobody fame in an unknown role. He was also learned this week Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was cast in the lead role of Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man.
We also know that the series is set to return Ben Kingsley like Trevor Slattery reuniting with the Shan-Chi director. The inclusion of Trevor Slattery and the role these sources say Bob Odenkirk will play lead us to believe that the series will focus heavily on Simon Williams’ acting career.
In the comics, Simon Williams is an actor and stuntman. Nathan Fillion also appeared in the MCU previously as Simon Williams on a poster for the film Akron, which is a role the character played in the comics. While we now know Fillion is not Simon Williams, it’s important to note the MCU’s focus on the character as an actor. The actors have agents, of course, but they also have managers, which is the role these sources say Odenkirk is in talks to play.
This honestly sounds like a perfect role for Odenkirk who isn’t too far from the slimy Saul Goodman character we know and love him for. It will be nice to see how this all turns out. You can not wait Wonder Man
