The episode count and runtimes for Marvel Television's Wonder Man have been revealed. Unfortunately, the Marvel Cinematic Universe series is set to continue a Disney+ runtime trend that has not won over the majority of the streamer's subscriber base.

In an interview with Collider, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, revealed that Wonder Man will consist of eight episodes, which is two less than the 10-episode count that was originally reported for the Disney+ series. Winderbaum also shared that there will not be a consistent length for the episodes, explaining that streaming allows for a little bit of leeway with the runtimes. "There's a little bit of some streaming leeway in the episode runtimes, so I think our shortest episode is 20-something, and our longest is, like, 40-something," the Marvel head revealed. This is an unfortunate update for fans who have voiced their displeasure online at...

Marvel's next Spotlight series, Wonder Man, is heading to Disney+ this December, but aside from some stills and a first glimpse of some footage from the show via a brief teaser promo towards the end of last year, there hasn't really been much to report over the past couple of months.

Now, Marvel's Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, has shared some updates, and in addition to confirming the episode count, he's given Wonder Man his endorsement as "the best show no one's ever seen."

"Wonder Man is eight episodes. It's a very new flavor for Marvel," the exec tells Collider. "It's straight from the minds of Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest. Honestly, it is one of my favorite things ever. I think it's the best show no one's ever seen, and I’m very excited to see the audience reaction to it. I think it's a...

Ever since her breakout role of starring in Max Fox in FX’s comedy-drama series Better Things, we have all known that Mikey Madison is going to be a star, and now, with her film Anora winning Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, the young actress is well on her way to becoming an acting-powerhouse. Madison began her career at a very young age by starring in a couple of short films, and then she starred in her first feature film, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey, in 2014 when she was 15 years old, but the film didn’t get released until 2017. Since then, she has starred in many great films, including a small role in Quentin Tarrantino‘s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin‘s Scream.

Apple TV+ recently hosted a screening and panel conversation for “Lady in the Lake” at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Meryl Streep Center for Performing Artists in Los Angeles. Upon conclusion of the screening of the seventh and final episode, titled “My Story,” star and executive producer Natalie Portman and star Moses Ingram engaged in a fun Q&a moderated by Variety’s Emily Longeretta. Later on, attendees enjoyed a lively reception, complete with hors d’oeuvres and drinks.

“Lady in the Lake” streamed this summer on Apple TV+, with creator-executive producer-writer-director Alma Har’el adapting the thriller from the book of the same name by Laura Lippman. Besides Portman and Ingram, other cast members include Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

Marvel has unveiled new images of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Wonder Man/Simon Williams, including one of the character in a scene with the returning fan-favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe character Trevor Slattery, portrayed by the immortal Sir Ben Kingsley. Abdul-Mateen will make his MCU debut when Wonder Man hits Disney+ in December 2025, and another new image released by Disney+ shares another look at the McU's Simon Williams.

The Wonder Man image reveals Simon Williams and Kingsley's Trevor Slattery hanging out as the older thespian imparts some wisdom. Kingsley first appeared as the character in 2013's Iron Man 3, where Slattery was revealed as an actor hired to pose as the villain and terrorist leader of the Ten Rings, the Mandarin. Kingsley also appeared in 2021's Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which featured the actual Mandarin and depicts Slattery as essentially a court jester held captive...

The first look at the new Disney Plus series Wonder Man has revealed the titular hero, as well as the return of a controversial MCU character from Phase 2. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, the new show follows Simon Williams, an actor who auditions for the role of Wonder Man, the leading character in a new superhero movie. But, when Simon develops powers of his own, he becomes Wonder Man in real life. While it feels obvious in hindsight, the first MCU project to focus on actors playing superheroes on screen re-introduces the first actor to appear in the MCU: Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley).

A new Marvel Studios TV featurette has given fans the best look yet at the McU's 2025 slate of shows. In the brief shots of Wonder Man, Marvel teases fans with Mateen II's performance as Simon Williams, and welcomes Trevor Slattery back to the MCU with open arms. Long-time...

It's been a while since we had any updates on the Disney+ Wonder Man series, but Disney has now unveiled a first logo and tentative premiere date for the Marvel Spotlight show, along with several other 2025 streaming projects.

Though this is said to be the "official" Wonder Man logo, we have to assume it's just a placeholder! We also have a first look at the title treatment for the animated Eyes of Wakanda series.

Lady in the Lake premiered on Apple TV+ in July, and some viewers are wondering if they could see a second season of the limited series. Series creator Alma Har’el spoke about the drama and the possibility of more in an interview with THR.

Natalie Portman, Moses Ingram, Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor star in the series, which centers on the disappearance of a young girl in 1966 Baltimore and examines how it impacts the lives of two very different women.v

It appears work on Wonder Man is almost finished, a strong indication it will be released on Disney+ in 2025 alongside Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart.

While there was no mention of the series at Comic-Con or D23, showrunner Andrew Guest has shared a picture of himself and director/executive producer Destin Daniel Cretton working on "our final mix playback in person at Skywalker Ranch."

No additional details were shared but it's clear Marvel Studios is no longer going to announce or release small screen projects before they're ready. Ironheart, for example, wrapped filming all the way back in 2022.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will play Wonder Man, while Demetrius Grosse (Fear the Walking Dead) has been cast as his brother, classic Avengers villain, The Grim Reaper.

Warning: Major Spoilers ahead for Lady in the Lake episode 6.

Cleo's big reveal in Lady in the Lake episode 6 shocks Maddie as she discovers Cleo faked her death. Reggie's involvement in Cleo's disappearance hints at a bigger conspiracy in Lady in the Lake. Similar to the book, Cleo's twist in the series adds depth to the mystery in Lady in the Lake.

Cleo's big twist in Lady in the Lake episode 6 reveals that she actually was not killed by Stephan, Reggie, or anyone at all. In the penultimate episode of the new Apple murder mystery period piece, Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram) turns up in the final scene to reveal to Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman) that she is in fact alive. This comes as a massive surprise to Maddie, who had gone to extreme lengths trying to dig into the truth about Cleo Johnson's mysterious disappearance and murder. Maddie tried...

Warning: Some Spoilers lie ahead for Lady in the Lake!

Lady in the Lake's Milton Schwartz, played by Brett Gelman, represents the patriarchal norms of the 1960s era but still shows care and love for his wife Maddie. Gelman enjoyed working with director Alma Har'el on the Apple TV+ mystery show and followed her vision for it "religiously". Gelman also offers an encouraging update on Stranger Things season 5's filming, while also acknowledging the challenges of keeping secrets from fans.

Brett Gelman is a loving husband too set in the ways of his era in Lady in the Lake. Based on Laura Lippman's novel of the same name, the Apple TV+ mystery thriller centers on Natalie Portman's Maddie Schwartz, a housewife in 1960s Baltimore who becomes frustrated with the lack of respect she gets from her family. As she moves out of the house and attempts to...

Note: This story contains spoilers for Episode 3 of “Lady in the Lake”

Before the title character’s untimely death in the 1960s-set “Lady in the Lake,” Episode 3 sees Cleo (Moses Ingram) throwing all caution to the wind in a wild dance sequence at the jazz club where she works for mobster Shell Gordon (Wood Harris).

She’s just been inadvertently dragged into the mobster-ordered assassination attempt of a local Black politician, one who she — until recently — ardently supported. The word isn’t out yet about her involvement, but Cleo knows that the secret is going to come out at some point.

Her husband Slappy (Byron Bowers) doesn’t know what went down, only that Cleo is not acting like her usual self and that something is deeply wrong. TheWrap spoke to Ingram, who plays Cleo, and creator, showrunner and director Alma Har’el about capturing Cleo’s chaotic emotions before her death.

“Lady in the Lake” series creator and showrunner Alma Har’el had a vision for the the Apple TV+ series that differed from the 2019 Laura Lippman on which it’s based — one that focused not just on main character Maddie Morgenstern but on the “lady” of the title. That’d be murder victim Cleo (Moses Ingram), who narrates the seven-episode drama.

Natalie Portman, who is also a producer on the series, stars as Maddie, while Ingram of “The Queen’s Gambit” fame takes on the expanded role of Cleo amid an enhanced focus on Baltimore’s Black community of the 1960s.

“It’s been incredibly challenging to adapt this book, because it’s a book you can’t let go of. It’s gripping, but it does focus much more on Maddie Morgenstern and a lot of very different characters around Baltimore. My wish was to create a two-hander and recreate the world around Cleo,...

Lady in the Lake is a thriller drama miniseries created by Alma Har’el.

Lady in the Lake stars Natalie Portman in the lead role with Moses Ingram, Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor Vince starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the thrilling mystery and enticing drama in Apple TV+’s Lady in the Lake, here are some similar shows for you to watch next.

Get ready for a brilliant psychological thriller from Apple TV+ in its latest series, Lady in the Lake. Created by Alma Har’el, the Apple TV+ series is based on the 2019 novel of the same name by author Laura Lippman. Lady in the Lake has brilliant performances from its two leading actors and a thrilling story that will have you glued to your screens.

Lady in the Lake is set in 1960s Baltimore and it follows the story of Maddie Schwartz, an investigative journalist as she ditches her overbearing husband to pursue her career and work on the murder case of two mysterious separate killings, which brings her in conflict with a woman working to advance the agenda of the city’s Black community.

Mikey Madison's history as a villain makes her Lady in the Lake character instantly suspicious. Madison, known for her unsettling roles, is set to become a breakout star in 2024. Madison's appearance in murder-centered shows like Ouatih and Scream makes her a prime suspect in Lady in the Lake.

Mikey Madison's history of villain character roles makes me instantly suspicious of her character in the new Apple murder mystery series Lady in the Lake. Madison joined Natalie Portman in her first-ever leading television role, which is based on the 2019 bestselling novel by Laura Lippman. Portman leads an exceptional cast in Lady in the Lake which also includes Moses Ingram, David Corenswet, Y'lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Josiah Cross, and Noah Jupe.

Madison is the star of this year's Palme d'Or winner Anora by Sean Baker, which will be released in the United States on October 18, 2024. Born in 1999, Madison is...

Plot: When the disappearance of a young girl grips the city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the lives of two women converge on a fatal collision course. Maddie Schwartz, a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Johnson, a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger.

Review: Cultural divides and parallels have always been fascinating material for dramatic series. The similarities between Jewish and Black communities are far more than many realize, as both groups have been subjugated over the years. By contrasting two very different journeys for the main characters in Lady in the Lake, Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram chronicle the countless similarities the...

A bird’s eye view of “Lady in the Lake” may make Alma Har’el’s ambitious new Apple series sound as generic as its title. In 1966, just outside of Baltimore, a young girl is found dead. The woman who discovers her body, an aspiring journalist, becomes obsessed with the case, and it soon leads her to another body, another suspect, and a criminal conspiracy with dangerous ties to cops, politicians, and more.

All of this is true, but none of it is the full truth. Throughout the ethereal, furious, seven-episode limited series, layers are peeled back over and over. Sometimes they reveal new clues about the case. More often, they tell us something about the two women at its center. Yes, two women. Aside from Natalie Portman’s hungry reporter, Maddie Schwartz — a white woman (of course) whose personal yet picayune connections to the victim spark an outsized obligation to...

Superficially stylishly expressive and dreamy but listlessly placed, overfilled with plot and straining to make thematic connections between its two lead characters, “Lady In The Lake” is a frustrating and often uninvolving series bogged down in too many storylines. Worse, it ambitiously tries to tell too disparate narratives and then weave them together but frequently spins its wheels and never really engages. On paper, it’s abounding with significant talents; it has an accomplished writer/director at the helm, two powerhouse leads (Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram), and a solid supporting cast.

“You think every story is your story,” Maddie Morganstern’s son Seth bitterly argues late in the Apple TV+ miniseries Lady in the Lake. This is a common accusation other characters level at Maddie (Natalie Portman), a Jewish woman in mid-Sixties Baltimore who has left Seth (Noah Jupe) and her husband Milton (Brett Gelman) to reinvent herself as a newspaper reporter. The series is narrated by Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a Black woman who becomes the titular lady in the lake when her body is found thanks to Maddie’s reporting.

Created by Alma Har’el and adapted from Laura Lippman’s crime novel of the same name, Lady in the Lake draws inspiration from two real-life murder cases in 1960s Baltimore. Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman), a middle-class mother in an unfulfilling marriage, serves as a bridge between the contrasting social worlds of the two victims: an 11-year-old Jewish girl, Tessa Durst (Bianca Belle), and an unidentified Black woman who investigators believe may be Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a missing mother of two.

In the opening episode, Tessa disappears while attending a Thanksgiving parade with her parents. Drawn by her fascination with seahorses, the young girl wanders into a tropical fish store, where she encounters the creepy manager, Stephan Zawadzkie (Dylan Arnold), and a Black customer, Reggie Robinson (Josiah Cross). These early episodes, marked by the uncertainties of Tessa’s death, set the stage for the show’s intrigue involving the central mystery.

Natalie Portman stars in her first TV series as Maddie Schwartz in the chilling 'Lady in the Lake,' premiering on Apple TV+ on July 19, 2024.

‘Wonder Man’ is one of the upcoming live-action shows in the MCU, based on the comic book character of the same name. The show faced development challenges and was rumored to be canceled multiple times over the past few years. However, it has recently been confirmed that the show is still in production and has added a notable cast member.

According to Deadline, Byron Bowers, known for his roles in ‘The Chi’ and ‘Lady in the Lake,’ has joined the show, although his role remains undisclosed.

That, however, doesn’t stop us from speculating about which character he might play. With much of the main cast already announced and Wonder Man being a relatively obscure character, the pool of possible roles for Byron is limited.

He could be portraying Sanford Williams, Wonder Man’s father and a fierce competitor of Stark Industries. Sanford’s death catalyzes Simon’s downfall and...

‘Wonder Man’ is just one more in line of upcoming MCU live-action shows. The show is based on the comic book character of the same name. It was in development hell for quite some time, and it was rumored to be canceled several times over the last couple of years. Recently we got the confirmation that the show is still happening and that it has one notable addition to the cast.

According to Deadline, Byron Bowers, known for his roles in ‘The Chi’ and ‘Lady in the Lake’ has recently joined the show, although his role has been undisclosed.

That however doesn’t stop us from speculating which character he might play. Much of the main cast has been released so far, and considering that Wonder Man is a relatively unknown character, there’s a limited pool of characters that Byron could embody on screen.

He could be playing Sanford Williams,...

Despite rumors that the show had been scrapped, Marvel Studios' Wonder Man is still very much alive, and is continuing to round out its supporting cast.

According to Deadline, the latest actor to join the series is Byron Bowers, who is set to appear in the Alma Har’el-directed limited series Lady In The Lake alongside Natalie Portman. His other credits include Showtime’s The Chi, Honey Boy, Concrete Cowboy, No Sudden Move, and Kimi.

Bowers' character has not been disclosed - though that doesn't necessarily mean his role is being kept under wraps for any interesting reason.

As some predicted, it seems "Wonder Man" is going to be its own film franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as recent set photos gave us a look at the movie's logo. Though the silhouette didn't feature Simon Williams' (Yahya Abdul-Mateen) likeness, it did give us a glimpse of the character's superhero chest emblem.

The Wonder Man series just received a wonderful update. Deadline reports that Byron Bowers has joined the cast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. The performer was recently heard as Nelson in Ten Year Old Tom, the animated series where the titular character learns how to face the adversities of life. Details about his character weren't disclosed at the moment. Principal photography has already wrapped on the anticipated project, and while the show is aiming to premiere on Disney+ at some point next year, Marvel Studios has behaved particularly coy when it comes to the premise and characters of Wonder Man.

Natalie Portman has always been a fashion icon for me. Her red-carpet appearances consistently strike a balance between elegance and sophistication, a quality I truly admire.

However, her latest look isn’t quite what I expected – it lacks the usual refinement I associate with her style. That doesn’t change my love for her, though!
