We have our first piece of casting news for Marvel Studios' upcoming Wonder Man Disney+ series, but it's not for Simon Williams himself! According to Variety, the show will see the return of Sir Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery.

The character, who is a failed actor, debuted in Iron Man 3 as the "Fake Mandarin" before returning for the All Hail the King Marvel One-Shot and a fun supporting part in last year's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

We're not sure how he'll factor into Wonder Man, but Kingsley is said to have a "major role," and Slattery's involvement may back-up a recent report that the show is being developed as a Hollywood satire.

In the comics, Williams was originally introduced as an enemy of Tony Stark's before going on to join The Avengers as a hero while also launching a successful acting career, and the character's Hollywood background is expected to be an integral part of this show.

All we know for certain about the series is that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is on board as a writer along with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 30 Rock, and Community scribe Andrew Guest, who will also serve as showrunner. Guest also worked as a producer on Hawkeye.

Keep an eye out for updates as we head towards D23 on September 10.
