Wonder Man Disney+ Series lives but Wont be Important

Marvel's Wonder Man Disney+ series is expected to be released under the studio's new Marvel Spotlight label. The existence of Marvel Spotlight was initially disclosed during the promotional campaign for Echo, another Disney+ series starring Alaqua Cox's Hawkeye character. Projects under this brand will have fewer ties to the bigger Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving their creators greater storytelling options without having to worry about setting up future MCU series or movies. With Destin Daniel Cretton stepping down as director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, it appears like Wonder Man will join Echo as a Marvel Spotlight original series.

"Wonder Man will be under the new Marvel Spotlight series banner, which are shows that are standalone series and not part of the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe," a report from Deadline reads. This doesn't mean that Wonder Man won't have appearances from characters in the comics. Fans just don't need to be as well-versed in all MCU topics and keep up with each project to know what's going on in a Marvel Spotlight project.
