After a decade floundering both critically and at the box office, DC Studios has regained their footing under James Gunn. With the moderate success of last year's Superman and the groundwork laid by a relatively well-received second season of Peacemaker, it seems as if the days of DC's cinematic outings getting pummeled by the MCU are over, as well as their days of approaching the plate without a plan in hand.

I'm able to give this character the things that I want to be able to give this character, then you have the right guy. Russell says of his process in finding the vibe of the men he plays, emphasizing his intentional approach to embodying reluctant heroes across both Marvel and the Monsterverse.

He did as much 13 years ago in Iron Man 3, the second he dropped his guise as the Mandarin to reveal that he was actually Trevor Slattery. The efficacy - not to mention the morality - of this twist has been the topic of heated debate ever since, but no one can deny that Kingsley isn't utterly sympathetic in the role.

While the MCU's initial films were relatively loyal to their source material, the films and shows have since paved their own path, and Wonder Man is the latest hero to get a total revamp. In the comics, he gains his powers via exposure to ionic radiation. In his Disney+ debut, however, we never learn how he gained his super strength or his ability to generate ionic pulses - but he might have been born with it.
