>Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is a struggling actor looking for his big break in Hollywood who gets a chance to audition for the reboot of the popular 80s superhero movie “Wonder Man”, to which he has an emotional connection as he had watched the original movie with his late father as a child. Simon is secretly a superhuman himself with super-strength, super-speed and the power to cause massive explosions, but he does not want to fight crime, he wants to be the next Daniel Day-Lewis.>Simon befriends Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who is attempting to rebuild his acting career after his stint as the Mandarin and becomes Simon’s acting mentor. Trevor is ultimately cast in the “Wonder Man” remake as Wonder Man’s mentor Barnaby.>The supporting cast includes Simon’s girlfriend Vivian (Olivia Thirlby), Simon’s agent Janelle Jackson (X Mayo), “Wonder Man” director Von Kovak (Zlatko Burić) and Department of Damage Control agent Cleary (Arian Moyaed), who is investigating Simon.>Josh Gad and Joe Pantoliano play fictionalized versions of themselves where Gad is a beloved Hollywood star and Pantoliano has a past rivalry with Trevor. Gad will also sing.>Byron Bowers plays minor comic book character DeMarr Davis/Doorman. In the show, he is a mutant with the power to turn himself into a portal and a struggling actor like Simon who works as an actual doorman at a nightclub.>One episode features Simon visiting his family in San Fernando Valley. Unlike the comics, in which Simon’s father Sanford Williams was a corrupt industrialist and his brother Eric Williams becomes the supervillain Grim Reaper, in the show Sanford (Béchir Sylvain) was a loving working-class Haitian immigrant, while Eric (Demetrius Grosse) is a successful insurance salesman who disapproves of Simon’s acting aspirations.>Before landing “Wonder Man”, Simon has had in-universe guest roles in “The Rookie” and “American Horror Story”.
Might be fun.

This sounds like a script / treatment for a general superhero show they slapped Marvel names on.
