Andrew Guest is addressing the sudden end of Marvel‘s Wonder Man.
The showrunner and co-creator of the series, which was just canceled at Disney+ despite being previously renewed, issued a statement on TikTok following the upsetting news.
“Just want to say I’ve been listening. I appreciate you all. I feel how you all feel. And I just want to clear up what I can here,” he began.
“This is not a marketing stunt. There is no movie in the works,” he said, adding that no one’s schedule was the issue and everyone loved making the show together.
“Contracts were signed, schedules were cleared. The writer’s room was supposed to start this month. The production was supposed to begin early next year. And there was a decision made internally between Disney and Marvel that this didn’t make sense for them, even though a few months ago it did,” he explained.
“And that’s essentially all I really know. Numbers aren’t really shared with me. And even though the writer’s room hadn’t started, I had written the first episode of Season 2. And we had an outline for where the season would go. And everyone felt really good about it. It was gonna be a really incredible season that hopefully surpassed Season 1,” he continued.
“I appreciate everybody getting out there and letting your voices be heard about how you feel about this. And I think there’s important conversations being had online about the kind of stories that we’re prioritizing and the kind of <a href="https://comicvibe.com/zac-efron-movies-and-tv-<a href="https://comicvibe.com/why-2026-is-the-year-of-tv-shows-and-movie-comebacks/” title=”Why 2026 is the Year of TV Shows and Movie Comebacks”>shows/” title=”Zac Efron Movies and TV Shows”>shows platforms wanna make. I hope people are listening, and I also hope that Emmy voters are thinking about Yahya and how much he deserves an Emmy for the incredible work he did on the show.”
