Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is in talks to star in 'Wonder Man,' Marvel’s latest Disney+ series thr.cm/09H8f6T Image
The actor is already known to comic book fans as DC’s Black Manta in the Jason Momoa #Aquaman movies and for his memorable role in HBO’s Watchmen thr.cm/09H8f6T Image
Wonder Man is one of Marvel’s oldest characters, first introduced in 1964 in the pages of Avengers No. 9. He was initially a villain and only appeared sporadically in the early Marvel Age, but was reconceived as a hero (and Avenger) in the late 1970s thr.cm/09H8f6T ImageImage
The hero has been white in the comics, and the casting of Abdul-Mateen is the latest example of colorblind casting, something Marvel has consistently practiced, from Nicky Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) thr.cm/09H8f6T Image
Takes on the character for the Disney+ series were not revealed but there certainly are clues. More details: thr.cm/09H8f6T
