Get ready for a Marvel shake-up! Disney+ has officially placed Wonder Man at the very end of the MCU timeline, but not everyone is convinced it belongs there. Created by the talented duo Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, Wonder Man is now streaming on Disney+, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams/Wonder Man and Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery. But here's where it gets controversial: while Disney+ claims the show sits at the timeline's conclusion, fans are scratching their heads. Why? Because the story itself seems to take place around 2025–2026, not 2028, the supposed end of the MCU timeline. One Twitter user, @SmashTriviaJohn, bluntly calls this move 'lazy,' suggesting Marvel might have arbitrarily placed it at the end without a clear reason. And this is the part most people miss: Wonder Man jumps around in time, adding another layer of confusion. For instance, Trevor Slattery mentions 13 years since 2013, placing parts of the show firmly in 2026. Another fan, @DiabolicalPock, argues that the finale’s 2028 placement makes sense when you factor in the production timeline, the premiere, and Simon’s preparation to infiltrate the DODC. So, while some episodes—like parts of the fourth one—could align with earlier MCU projects, only the finale seems to truly belong at the timeline’s end. The show’s synopsis adds to the intrigue: it follows Simon Williams, an aspiring actor, and Trevor Slattery, a fading star, as they chase life-changing roles in a Wonder Man reboot, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood. Alongside Abdul-Mateen and Kingsley, the cast includes Arian Moayed, X Mayo, Zlatko Burić, Byron Bowers, and more. Is Marvel being lazy, or is there a deeper reason for this timeline placement? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this debate is just getting started!
