Wonder Man showrunner reacts to cancellation and is just as confused as you are: “I had written the first episode of season 2”
Wonder Man showrunner Andrew Guest has said he was surprised by the Marvel series’ cancellation, revealing that he had already written the first episode of a proposed second season. His comments suggest the creative team had expected the story to continue, making the decision a notable setback for the show’s planned future.
Guest did not indicate why Marvel opted against another series, leaving the reasoning unclear. Wonder Man starred Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, with Ben Kingsley reprising his MCU role as Trevor Slattery; the unfinished second-series plans will therefore not proceed.
- Andrew Guest had already written a second-series premiere.
- The showrunner says the cancellation surprised him.
- Marvel has not publicly explained the decision.
