Disney+ Makes MCU History By Casting DC Star as New Superhero

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s role as Simon Williams in the upcoming Disney+ series Wonder Man is a first: he’s the first actor to play a villain in a DC movie and then a superhero in a Marvel project. He previously played the villain Black Manta in the DC films Aquaman and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. His Aquaman co-star, Jason Momoa, has also become a significant figure in DC’s cinematic universe.
