Avengers: Doomsday - Will Wonder Man appear in the upcoming Marvel film? Details explored

Avengers: Doomsday is the upcoming superhero film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. It's the 39th Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film and serves as a sequel to 2019's Avengers: Endgame. The film will be released on December 18, 2026.

There has been a buzz on the internet about whether Wonder Man will appear in the film or not. This started ever since the trailer for Wonder Man dropped.

So let's find out whether the character can appear in the forthcoming Avenger movie.

Will Wonder Man appear in Avengers: Doomsday?

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in the theatres towards the end of this year. Recently, Marvel dropped the official trailer of their forthcoming miniseries Wonder Man. It focuses on the namesake superhero played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The plot centers around a guy who is trying to land a lead role in a remake of Wonder Man.

Since the trailer came out, people on the internet have been curious to know whether the character might feature in Avengers: Doomsday. It stems from the fact that the ensemble cast of the film has several actors reprising their superhero roles. However, there's no official confirmation yet on this. So, fans will have to either wait for an official update or for the film to release.

Having Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, in Doomsday might make the storyline interesting. In the series, the character, Simon Williams is an actor who is cast as the lead in a fictional "Wonder Man" movie reboot and ends up getting real superpowers.

This character can become a valuable part of the teams who are supposed to confront Doctor Doom. We have the Fantastic Four as well as the New Avengers coming together to stop the antagonist. The addition of Simon would surely benefit the team, as Wonder Man has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and durability.

Fans react to Wonder Man appearing in Avengers: Doomsday

Fans took to Reddit to share their views on whether Wonder Man will show up in Avengers: Doomsday, with most people being skeptical of seeing him make an appearance in the Avengers movie. One user wrote,

"Its a Marvel Spotlight Project. I don’t think the goal here is necessarily to bring him into the Avengers for another little while. Just like I don’t expect to see Echo either which is the other Marvel Spotlight show."

Another one explained:

"Considering that his show has very weak marketing and they are planning to release all the episodes at once in 1 day, I think Marvel just doesn't care about him now, they don't expect the show to be a big hit like Loki and Wandavision, so He most likely won't appear in either Doomsday or Secret Wars. He'll just be forgotten like the Eternals, She-Hulk, Echo and Moon Knight."

One user said that Marvel is not syncing films with shows, as it has affected the quality.

"From my understanding they are no longer syncing the shows with the movies going forward. Disney pushed the MCU to make more content quickly to boost Disney+ sales. It tanked the quality, and now Marvel is back to their original development process. Along with most likely their original goals to have cosmic and city story telling as two separate things all within the same universe."

Avengers: Doomsday is written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely. It's produced by Kevin Feige, Anthony, and Joe Russo. The film is about several superhero teams trying to stop Doctor Doom. It will be released on December 18, 2026. A sequel, titled Secret Wars, will drop on December 17, 2027.
