Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton said he and Marvel president Kevin Feige wanted to continue the show, but he did not understand the business reason for its cancellation. The series, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, premiered in January, and Abdul-Mateen received an Emmy nomination. Co-creator and showrunner Andrew Guest said the decision was internal and not linked to schedules, a marketing stunt or a planned film. Guest said contracts had been signed, the writers’ room was due to begin this month and production was expected to start early next year. Disney does not publicly release streaming figures, leaving the show’s audience performance unclear. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Disney+, Marvel, streaming, television, Wonder Man Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/marvel-cancels-wonder-man-despite-second-season-renewal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
