The teaser confirms the meta-nature of the new Disney+ series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. From what we can gather from the teaser, \u201cWonder Man\u201d was a superhero movie from the 1970s, now rebooted in the modern day by an A-list director. Simon Williams is an actor looking to play the character in the newly reimagined movie.

In a very meta commentary on the state of superhero fatigue, he says \u201cWhy make one more superhero story? Everyone is tired of superheroes.\u201d But he says the franchise connected to him deeply. The teaser is full of Easter eggs to Marvel Comics. It seems an actor named Brent Willard, who looks very David Hasselhoff-esque, portrayed <em>Wonder Man<\/em> on screen. The costumes he wears look just like his comic book outfits from the \u201980s <em>West Coast Avengers<\/em> series, and his \u201990s black and red look. In old footage, we see movie Wonder Man fighting cheesy aliens at Vasquez Rocks.
