Whereas Marvel had introduced a second season of Wonder Man earlier within the 12 months, it was reported on July 28 that the show had been canceled. That induced hypothesis about why the present was canceled. Some questioned if it was as a result of manufacturing or scheduling issues with these concerned, like Spider-Man: Model New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton. In a TikTok video posted this weekend, Visitor cleared issues up.

“This isn’t a advertising and marketing stunt. There isn’t any film within the works, and Destin’s schedule, and nobody’s schedule, was a problem,” Visitor defined. “Yahya, Destin, Sir Ben, and I all beloved making this present, all felt passionately about persevering with to do it, and have been desirous to. Contracts have been signed. Schedules have been cleared. The writers’ room was supposed to start out this week. The manufacturing was supposed to start early subsequent 12 months, and there was a choice made internally between Disney and Marvel that this did not make sense for them, regardless that a couple of months in the past it did.”
