Marvel’s ‘Wonder Man’ Kept Its Hollywood Dreams in L.A.

The Ankler: Shooting Disney and Marvel Television’s Wonder Man in Los Angeles wasn’t just a boon for creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest and the cast and crew, but the reason the show even existed in the first place. “It was the genesis of the idea,” Cretton says. The comedy series focuses on a struggling actor named Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who is forced to hide his superhero abilities due to a government mandate that bans enhanced individuals from working in the entertainment industry.
