Sir Ben Kingsley to Reprise Role in Marvel's WONDER MAN Series


If you thought you've seen the last of Trevor Slattery in SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS you were wrong.

According to Variety, actor Sir Ben Kingsley will return as Trevor in Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series WONDER MAN.

Variety writes:

"Ben Kingsley is poised to reprise the role of Trevor Slattery in the upcoming Wonder Man series from Marvel Studios at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

"The show was first revealed to be in the works back in June. It will focus on the Marvel character Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man...

"...Kingsley returning as Slattery lends credence to reports that the show is intended to be a Hollywood satire, as it has been established that Slattery is a failed actor and Wonder Man has been an actor and a stuntman in the comics. Exactly how Kingsley would factor into the plot of the series and how many episodes he would appear in is being kept under wraps, but sources say he will play a major role...

"..The role reunites Kingsley with Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed and co-wrote 'Shang-Chi' and will serve as an executive producer and co-creator on the Wonder Man series."

WONDER MAN is still in development and a release date timeframe has yet to be announced by Marvel Studios. But with Disney's D23 Expo 2022 right around the corner, there's a good chance more information might be revealed for the series during a panel presentation at the Anaheim event.
