'IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFERENT': KEVIN FEIGE HYPES WONDER MAN SERIES

Marvel Studios has not offered many details about the upcoming Wonder Man series in the works at Disney+. Kevin Feige has broken that silence by weighing in on the series, hyping it as a show that will feel very different from other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

Per TVLine, Feige addressed Wonder Man during an interview on the Official Marvel Podcast. The topic came about after Feige was asked about how he continues to find new inspiration for projects, and he noted his excitement at "continuing to try new storylines and taking characters to new places." Feige added, "Sometimes they’ll hit, sometimes they won’t, but if you stop trying, that is when you atrophy, and the whole thing falls in on itself.”

Feige's emphasis on looking for new ground to cover will be on display in Wonder Man. The Marvel Studios boss pointed to the show as a great example of a series that feels so different from other MCU projects that it has him feeling very excited. While Feige stressed that he can't say much more about the series other than how "different" it is, the subtle tease could be seen as a great sign for the show.
