After a chance encounter with veteran actor Trevor Slattery, he discovers that a legendary director is remaking the in-universe superhero film Wonder Man. Wonder Man Review (season 1) COMING SOON WOKE REPORT White Elephant I don’t think that anyone sane would argue that casting a black actor as a character that has been white in every iteration since its creation in the 60s isn’t woke. Of course it is. It’s textbook DEI. Here’s why our Woke-O-Meter score might be disappointing to some of you. That’s it. There’s no other woke nonsense, or at least Hollywood is a perfect cover for it. Yeah, there’s a lot of diversity and an inordinate number of women in the background (there aren’t many main characters), but it’s set in Hollywood. Do any of you not believe that that’s what the landscape looks like there? Other than that, there’s seemingly no agenda-driven messaging. Wonder Man isn’t downtrodden because of racism. He and Ben Kingsley aren’t in a gay relationship. Nothing. Sure, there’s a scene in which an arthouse director pairs off men competing for a role into improv scene partners, and he makes one man in each group play a woman, but it’s supposed to be funny (it’s not), and… again it’s Hollywood.
