Whether you're a hardcore MCU fan or have never watched a superhero movie in your life, Wonder Man is one of those rare experiences that appeals to both sides, and it marks a truly phenomenal start for Marvel's ambitious 2026 slate. Read full review

Abdul-Mateen and Kingsley work well together; their energies are complementary, laid back and loose versus worked up and tight and, of course, each will have something to teach one another about who they are and who they could be. I was genuinely anxious for them. Read full review

The strength of this show lies in its depiction of the relationship between the leads and its interrogation of the effects of art and how it gets corrupted. Forgive me, but it’s a rather clever, tender and altogether wonder-ful thing. Read full review

It’s a good, solid show—even if it likely won’t be the thing that single-handedly resuscitates Marvel from its slump. Read full review

Jan 23, 2026

A fresh take meant to turn heads—but it lands like a misread of the sides: a bold swing in the room that plays as a misstep on camera, more uncertainty than the conviction that actually wins you the starring role. Read full review
