On May 2, 2026, the cliffhanger ending of Marvel Studios' "Wonder Man" TV show was confirmed to not alter its second season. The series, which premiered in January, offered a distinct approach within the Marvel Cinematic Universe by focusing on the friendship between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery and their journey in the entertainment industry, diverging from typical Marvel productions despite Simon's powers and pursuit by the Department of Damage Control. Also on May 2, Marvel officially brought back Doctor Doom, a major villain who recently usurped the title of Sorcerer Supreme to declare himself emperor of the world, having previously headlined numerous events and battled many heroes. This follows comments on May 1 by "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds, who indicated no immediate rush for "Deadpool 4" in the MCU, aiming to surprise fans before another installment. Reynolds brought Wade Wilson into the MCU in 2024's "Deadpool and Wolverine," which achieved the status of the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.
