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.

Audience Says

Wonder Man finds alchemy in its leading men, who deliver a refreshingly human story with greater emotional power than straight up kicks -- and it’s all the stronger for it.

3/5

A satire about struggling actors and the ludicrous Hollywood inequality they’re trying to get around doesn’t sound like a particularly original idea, but when you plug it into the dour world of Marvel superheroes it’s actually a welcome change of pace.

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.

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.

The chemistry between the two actors carries you along. They’re my second-favorite odd couple right now, after Dunk and Egg on HBO Max’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

4/5

Though it falters as a comics adaptation, it succeeds as a worthy and unique experiment in dialogue-driven, chemistry-fueled character study.

3.5/5

He avoids mythologizing the character; instead, he humanizes him. It’s a performance that understands heroism as something accidental and uneasy, rather than ordained.

Had no expectations and was surprisingly well entertained. Loved the Characters Good Pacing Good Storytelling Some plot holes but they didn't bother me

Depois dessa série, eu tenho uma certeza, quanto menos expectativa você vai, mais você se surpreende com as produções da Marvel. Quando está muito no hype e cheio de teorias, pode anotar que vai chatear todo mundo, afinal ninguém vai conseguir sair com todas as expectativas

I didn't expect to fall in love with this series. Simon and Trevor have undeniable chemistry—I can't imagine one without the other now. The writing captures a genuine "day in the life" of a hero. This show kept me company, and I've already watched it five times because it's that good.

To keep himself out of jail, Trevor keeps tabs on Wonder Man who is considered a highly dangerous Mutant. It’s hilarious seeing the Mandarin actor return for another role!
