Marvel Drops Wonder Man Promo With Trevor Slattery's 'Bad Actors' Walkout

Ben Kingsley’s in‑character interview with TCM host Ben Mankiewicz pushes the show’s Hollywood satire ahead of its January 2026 Disney+ launch.

Overview

  • Marvel released a new Wonder Man clip featuring Trevor Slattery losing his temper during a taping of the in‑universe Bad Actors podcast and then storming out.
  • In the exchange, Slattery tries to steer the conversation to his new role as “Barnaby” in Wonder Man rather than revisiting his past as the Mandarin decoy.
  • The spot continues a meta marketing run that has used Slattery-led bits, including a mock acting masterclass, to blend real media personalities with MCU fiction.
  • Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II with Kingsley returning as Slattery, in a series positioned as a wry look at an actor’s life and the film industry.
  • Disney+ and press materials point to a January 2026 premiere, with outlets variously reporting January 26 or January 27 as the debut date.
