Marvel Studios is teasing its upcoming Disney+ series Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an actor who auditions to play the titular hero.

The teaser released Friday shows an interview with “internationally celebrated and reclusive filmmaker Von Kovak,” who “sprung out of retirement to sign on for his first franchise film.”
