Deadline is reporting that Marvel Studios has tapped The Photograph helmer Stella Meghie to direct multiple episodes of Wonder Man.
We don't have a specific number, but it's already been confirmed that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Daniel Destin Cretton is also directing more than one instalment, so there's a chance the series will be split between them. Meghie also counts episodes of Grown-ish, First Wives Club, and Insecure among her past credits.
However, she's also developing Tiana for Disney+, a new live-action series featuring the title character from Disney Animation's The Princess and the Frog.
Meghie decided to only executive produce that show, but Disney was keen to continue working with her, and it was then Marvel Studios suggested she join the Wonder Man team. The trade notes that the series is now deemed a "high priority" project.
Wonder Man is expected to put a subversive, MCU-style spin on Hollywood, with Aquaman star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II cast as the title character.
Sir Ben Kingsley has signed on to reprise his Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings role as thespian Trevor Slattery. There have also been rumblings that Marvel Studios is eyeing Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk for a "special role."
Scream and Friends legend Courtney Cox is thought to be in talks for the series, though it's been a while since we've heard anything about further casting additions.
Andrew Guest serves as Head Writer, and his credits include hit TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 30 Rock, and Community.
Wonder Man made his Marvel Comics debut in the pages of Avengers #9 in 1964. Initially a villain, he was later retconned and became a hero (and an Avenger) in the 1970s. His brother is the Grim Reaper, while it was his brainwaves that were used by Ultron as a basis for The Vision; later, he would join the West Coast Avengers and become a Hollywood star.
Wonder Man is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2024.
