The Wonder Man official trailer has been released and it introduces us to Simon Williams, who wants to be a star, but he has a secret. On the other hand, there is Trevor Slattery, a former actor who wants to help him, not just out of sheer appreciation, but also because he wants something out of it. Simon badly wants to star in a film which is a remake of an in-universe film, Wonder Man.The trailer shows that the director of this remake is Von Kovak, who is"Fighting Superhero Fatigue"and is thus trying to remake a superhero film to make audiences interested in the superhero genre again. He is an Oscar-winning director in the show's universe, and thus it is a little strange that he would want to fight the superhero fatigue. But as the trailer reveals, he might just be successful.Wonder Man's refreshing take on the Superhero FatigueSuperhero Fatigue is a term used to describe the audience's disinterest in superhero films because too many films and shows have been made itn the genre which have repetitive plots and similiar character arcs. In the Wonder Man trailer, we see that Von Novak is trying to fight that in the show's universe in Hollywood, and Simon Williams wants to star in the movie he is remaking.But due to the nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where superheroes are common, the film needs the lead actor to sign a document that confirms he doesn't have any superhuman powers. That's where the plot gets interesting, because Simon does have superhuman powers like superspeed, super strength, and the ability to blow up things, but he is keeping his powers secret to become a successful actor. He is desperate to get this role, and Trevor Slattery, a former actor, is mentoring him.As Simon learns how to nail the audition, get the role, and become an actor, he also has to figure out a way to deal with his powers. The Department of Damage Control will eventually find out about Simon's secret and consider him a threat. Thus, in trying to fight the Superhero Fatigue, Von Kovak will end up working with an actor who is a superhero himself. The eight episodes of the show will show us how that goes.The show's synopsis according to Marvel is:"Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film 'Wonder Man;. These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry."
