A new teaser trailer for Marvel's upcoming streaming series Wonder Man has arrived, and it gets seriously meta about the MCU's remake of the film—amid the MCU's own version of superhero fatigue.
In the new teaser, we get to see the classic Wonder Man movie as it exists in the MCU, complete with Vondy's contrasting green and red costume from the 80s comics, as the press asks the director of the Wonder Man remake about why he remade a superhero movie in an atmosphere steeped in those stories.

It's important to note that the director mentions changing the entire landscape of the superhero genre, and we already have an idea of ​​how it looks like Yahya Abdul-Mateen's Simon Williams will take on the role, while actually giving him real superpowers rather than just modeling them with special effects for a movie.
In comics, Wonder Man receives his powers from the villainous Baron Zemo.who recruits him to infiltrate the Avengers. However, Wonder Man betrays Zemo, seemingly dying while helping the Avengers defeat the villain.
It's this point that makes one of the most interesting aspects of Wonder Man's comic history – his ability to die and come back multiple times over the years, seemingly immortal thanks to his ionic energy powers.
This theme ties together the MCU's obvious interpretation of Wonder Man's story with a film that simply won't die, despite audiences' fatigue with the concept. As we all know, the idea of ​​superhero fatigue has been a talking point among moviegoers lately, so the MCU fighting this criticism could either benefit them, or it could blow up in their faces.
Personally, as a fan of the comic book Wonder Man, I love this idea, and seeing Wonder Man's wacky costume come to life entertains me immensely. And given his comic history as both an actor and a superhero, Wonder Man seems like the perfect character for this kind of story.
The premiere of “Miracle Man” is scheduled for Disney Plus in December. In the meantime, stay up to date with all the events upcoming Marvel movies and shows in the works.
