Kingsley reprised his role in <em>Iron Man 3<\/em> and <em>Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings<\/em>, and the show was created by Destin Daniel Cretton, who recently helmed <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em>, and directed <em>Shang-Chi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad0 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The show received good reviews, including a four-star <em>NME<\/em> review that called it \u201cloads of fun\u201d, and was initially renewed in March.

of the Marvel show <em>Wonder Man<\/em> have criticised the show\u2019s cancellation, despite initially being renewed for season two.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>READ MORE: \u2018Wonder Man\u2019 review: matey, meta Marvel show makes for loads of fun<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The show revolved around two fictional actors \u2013 Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) \u2013 as they try to land roles in a remake of the superhero movie Wonder Man. Kingsley reprised his role in <em>Iron Man 3<\/em> and <em>Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings<\/em>, and the show was created by Destin Daniel Cretton, who recently helmed <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em>, and directed <em>Shang-Chi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad0 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The show received good reviews, including a four-star <em>NME<\/em> review that called it \u201cloads of fun\u201d, and was initially renewed in March. However, this week Marvel made a U-turn on that decision and cancelled the show entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Yahya Abdul-Mateen II addressed the news on Instagram, writing: \u201cWord just dropped that <em>Wonder Man<\/em> won\u2019t be coming back for Season two. (And if you don\u2019t knowww, now ya knoww!) That\u2019s life, right? Everything will shake out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then thanked his collaborators and the show\u2019s fans before saying: \u201cI\u2019m glad we got to be a part of something cool. Thank you for watching\u2026 And uhh\u2026 See you at the EMMYS.\u201d The last line is a joking reference to the fact that the actor received an Emmy nomination for his performance in the show, despite it being cancelled.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbbwEw1ugIH\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disappointment at the decision, also pointing out that a series that earned an Emmy nomination deserved a better fate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCanceling <em>Wonder Man<\/em> after already giving it the green light AND after Yahya\u2019s Emmy nom is a huge slap in the face,\u201d wrote one reporter, with another adding: \u201cDoing this after the lead actor received a nomination at the Emmy\u2019s is such a shitty move.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Canceling \u2018Wonder Man\u2019 after already giving it the green light AND after Yahya\u2019s Emmy nom is a huge slap in the face.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 IAMNJERA (@IAMNJERA) July 30, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If they cancelled Wonder Man because Destin is busy with Spider-Man, they could\u2019ve EASILY gotten a different director to keep it going.
