Marvel has debuted a new teaser for Wonder Man
The Disney+ show will be released in January 2026
Its latest round of footage seems to include a huge story spoiler

Marvel has released a new trailer for its forthcoming Wonder Man TV series – and it appears to spoil one of the show's biggest surprises.

The metatextual sitcom was originally due to drop in December. However, while Marvel announced its release had been pushed back to next January at New York Comic-Con (NYCC) 2025, the comic titan isn't resting on its laurels when it comes to promoting its next Disney+ TV Original.

We should be happy that more footage has dropped then, right? Not if you're trying to dodge spoilers ahead of the Marvel Phase 6 TV show's launch, because Wonder Man's new teaser appears to include a potentially huge plot twist. I'll discuss what's shown in more detail after the teaser below, so turn back now if you're actively avoiding Wonder Man spoilers.

Watch On

At the 0:35 mark, part of a restaurant-based scene involving Yahya Abdul Mateen-II's Simon Williams and Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery shows the former get increasingly anxious about potentially missing out on the lead role for a remake of the in-universe superhero movie 'Wonder Man'.

As Williams' agitation grows, we start to hear the rumblings of... something. A concerned Slattery looks down at the table the pair are sat at, and we see the contents of Williams' drink, the glass it's in, and the wooden table start to shake.

The implication here is that Williams seems to possess superhuman abilities. And, if there's any doubt about that, the teaser's final clip doubles-down on that story beat.

Indeed, when Williams arrives at his audition for the 'Wonder Man' film remake in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he's asked to sign a disclaimer confirming he doesn't possess superpowers. Williams passes that off with a simple and calm "yeah", but the tense music that plays over the clip indicates otherwise.
