Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been buzzing with excitement since Daniel Destin Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, confirmed on Instagram that his upcoming series, Wonder Man, has officially begun filming. In a post that featured a photo of Cretton holding a ColorChecker Color Rendition Chart, a tool used for color calibration in film and TV production, the director shared his enthusiasm for the project.
While Wonder Man is a lesser-known character in the Marvel Comics universe, the upcoming series is already generating plenty of hype among Marvel fans. The series was first announced by Marvel Studios during their investor day presentation in December 2020, along with several other upcoming Marvel projects.
In the Instagram post by Cretton, he mentioned Brett Pawlak, who serves as the Director of Photography for Wonder Man, confirming that the post is related to the upcoming Marvel series. According to Cretton’s post, the show is currently operating under the working title of “Callback” and will be produced by Ionic Productions LLC. Cretton himself serves as the executive producer of the series, while Andrew Guest is the showrunner/head writer.
The Wonder Man series will feature two notable actors, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley. Abdul-Mateen II will portray Simon Williams, the character who becomes Wonder Man after gaining superhuman abilities through a process that involves ionizing his body. Kingsley, who previously played Trevor Slattery in Iron Man 3 and the short film All Hail the King, is also set to appear in the series.
While plot details for Wonder Man are scarce, it’s safe to assume that the series will follow the story of Simon Williams as he transforms into Wonder Man and potentially joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a hero. It’s also unclear whether the series will tie into any of the upcoming Marvel films, such as the highly anticipated Avengers 5.
The ColorChecker Color Rendition Chart that Cretton is holding in his Instagram post is a crucial tool used in the filmmaking process. It helps filmmakers ensure that the colors captured on camera are accurate and consistent throughout the production. This attention to detail is just one example of the level of care and precision that goes into creating a high-quality Marvel production.
While fans will have to wait for more information regarding the release date of Wonder Man, Marvel Studios has plenty of other projects in the works that fans can look forward to. These include films like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as well as several Disney+ series like Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have reason to celebrate as Wonder Man has officially started filming, with Daniel Destin Cretton serving as executive producer and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley set to star in the series. While details regarding the plot and release date of the series are still unknown, fans can expect the same level of quality and attention to detail that has made the Marvel Cinematic Universe a global phenomenon.
