Wonder Man’s shock cancellation – despite season two renewal – tremors still reverberate as showrunner Andrew Guest breaks his silence.
In a post on TikTok, he shares, “Just want to say I’ve been listening. I appreciate you all. I feel how you all feel, and I just want to clear up when I can here.”
He continues, “This is not a marketing stunt. There is no movie in the works, and [Destin Daniel Cretton’s] schedule works and’s schedule was an issue.”
“Yahya [Abdul Mateen II], Destin, Sir Ben [Kingsley] and I all loved making this show. All felt passionately about continuing to do it, and were eager to. Contracts were signed, schedules were cleared.”
According to Wonder Man creator, all pieces of the season two beginning were in place; however, then a stunning reversal took place.
“The writers’ room was supposed to start this month. The production was supposed to begin early next year, and there was a decision made internally between Disney and Marvel that this didn’t make sense for them, even though a few months ago it did.”
“And that’s essentially all I really know,” Guest shares.
Similarly, Wonder Man star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II also shared a shocking reaction to the surprising decision by Marvel and Disney.
“Word just dropped that Wonder Man won’t be coming back for Season 2. (And if you don’t know, now you know!) That’s life, right? Everything will shake out,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
