What to Know

Critics Consensus

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Wonder Man, turning in a sly performance alongside an equally wonderful Ben Kingsley in this low-stakes superhero fare that boasts high-hearted personal drama as its winning factor.

Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 3d
The actors’ chemistry and undeniable bromance is a great reason to watch, but this is also an entertaining and low-stakes story that doesn’t require mass MCU viewing or knowledge to fully enjoy. Go to Full Review
Peter Travers The Travers Take 3d
3/4
It’s a different kind of Marvel epic. Special effects take a backseat to laughs as Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley spoof egomaniac actors who learn it’s better to stop chasing fame and be in it for the love of the game. Go to Full Review
Nadira Goffe Slate 4d
Despite it getting occasionally bogged down, Wonder Man is a good show with a hero who is engaging to watch because he shows no interest in being one, and Mateen II is excellent in it. Go to Full Review

4/5
The ultimate proof that Marvel can do something different, something beyond a roller coaster experience (to paraphrase Scorsese), whenever they feel like it. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review

4.3/5
Wonder Man was a quick, smart, incredibly well-acted, and very well-written ride. Even if you’ve succumbed to MCU fatigue, this one is worth your time. Go to Full Review

Chris P. @GrimmReviews 2h Fantastic acting and an unconventional marvel story. My only complaint was it should have had longer episodes and more of them. It felt like some stories were crammed in. See more M S @Runningthenews 3h Wonder Man is a heartfelt story about friendship, ambition, and the unexpected ways people come together while chasing a dream role. You genuinely fall in love with the hero because the writing stays grounded in character and a deep passion for the craft. Through the complications of family and friends along the way, the show delivers warmth, sincerity, and refreshing emotional depth. Marvel’s renewed focus on character-driven storytelling shines in this next chapter of its superhero universe. See more Jeff A @jsanderson67 3h Great show. Long-time Marvel fan. See more Luana P @Geekified 4h Absolutely enchanting show with a new take on storytelling, the actors have undeniable chemistry. Cinematography is fitting for every scene. The story is well thought out for how short it is, the main character is relatable and human. This is a show that doesn’t need background knowledge to understand but makes it all the more fun with knowledge of such details. You can tell the writers had fun with this project making it even more enjoyable. 10/10 perfect for new marvel fans or those with MCU fatigue. Definitely worth your time. See more Jonathan D. @HimothyNeutron 4h It’s refreshing to have the super powers on the back burner See more Annias S. @aitheking 5h This was a well put together show that could have been a movie. It's worth the watch. See more Read all reviews
