This, despite an official confirmation months ago that a new set of episodes were in the works, some early promotion for Season 2 just weeks ago, and the fact that its executive producer Destin Daniel Cretton is this very weekend set to achieve major success with a box-office-busting launch for his <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em>. It\u2019s a curious move \u2013 and the show\u2019s star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who plays actor Simon Williams taking on the role of screen hero Wonder Man, has reacted to the cancellation in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>It seems the actor is somewhat surprised about the walking back of a Season 2 as well. \u201cWord just dropped that <em>Wonder Man<\/em> won\u2019t be coming back for Season 2. (And if you don\u2019t knowww, now ya knoww!),\u201d he wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s life, right? Everything will shake out. I wanted to say thank you to everybody who WATCHED the show, ENJOYED the show, and SHARED that they enjoyed the show in some way or other. The show worked. And that\u2019s my favorite thing about it.\u201d As well as thanking those who followed the show and supported it in YouTube videos, Abdul-Mateen II nodded to the awkwardness of his now-cancelled show currently being nominated for an Emmy, for his performance as Williams. \u201cI\u2019m glad we got to be a part of something cool. Thank you for watching\u2026 And uhh\u2026 See you at the EMMYS,\u201d he signed off.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Will we see Simon Williams return in other MCU projects? Is Destin Daniel Cretton\u2019s dance card about to be full with Spidey sequels? Could the cancellation itself be walked back? Stay tuned for answers.
