The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its vast array of heroes and villains, but it seems that Marvel Studios is not done with one of its more controversial characters just yet. New photos from the set of Marvel’s Disney Plus series Wonder Man have emerged online, showing Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, a character last seen in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
In the latest photos from the set of the Wonder Man series, Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery can be seen dressed in regular clothes, a stark contrast from his flashy attire in his previous MCU appearances. You can check out the Wonder Man set photos below.
Trevor Slattery first appeared in Iron Man 3 as a struggling actor who was hired to pose as the terrorist leader known as the Mandarin. The twist in the film revealed that the Mandarin was actually a fake persona created by Aldrich Killian, the true villain of the story. This twist was not well-received by some fans, who felt that the Mandarin had been mishandled in the film.
Despite the mixed reactions to the Mandarin’s Iron Man 3 portrayal, Trevor Slattery has remained a part of the MCU canon. In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Slattery is shown to be a prisoner of the real Mandarin, a.k.a. Wenwu. He is used as a court jester of sorts, amusing Wenwu with his antics and impressions. Slattery is eventually freed by Shang-Chi and his friends, helping them in their battle against Wenwu and his forces.
Who is Marvel’s Wonder Man?
Wonder Man is a superhero from the Marvel Comics universe with a unique backstory. Created by Stan Lee and Don Heck in 1964, Wonder Man was originally a successful businessman who underwent a dangerous experiment to gain superhuman powers. However, his powers came with a weakness to ionic energy, making him vulnerable to attacks from other ionic-powered beings.
Wonder Man has been a member of several superhero teams, including the Avengers and the West Coast Avengers. He has also had a complicated romantic relationship with Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch. Marvel’s Disney Plus series is expected to delve deep into Wonder Man’s complex history and personality.
Andrew Guest (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Community) is leading the writing team of the Wonder Man series, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings helmer Destin Daniel Cretton on board as an executive producer. Cretton is also expected to direct an unspecified number of episodes before moving on to the yet-to-be titled Shang-Chi sequel and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
