Ben Kingsley is set to reprise his role of Trevor Slattery in the upcoming Marvel Studios series Wonder Man, which is being developed for Disney+. Kingsley made his big MCU debut in Iron Man 3, he then appeared in a Marvel short film All Hail the King, and the last time we saw him in the role was Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
The series will focus on the Marvel character Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man. In the comics, he is “the son of a wealthy industrialist whose company falls on hard times due to competition from Tony Stark’s Stark Industries. As a result, Williams accepts an offer from villain Baron Zemo that gives him ionic superpowers including super strength and durability. After fighting the Avengers several times, Wonder Man ultimately joined their ranks.”
Wonder Man was also an actor and stuntman in the comics, so it makes sense that Kingsley’s Slattery would be involved as he’s also an actor.
Wonder Man is being developed by Shang Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton as a producer and Andrew Guest (Hawkeye) serving as head writer and executive producer. Are you happy to learn that Kingsley will be back as Trevor in the MCU?
