US EditionNorth Yorkshire's Sir Ben Kingsley 'Would Never Have Dreamt' Return as Marvel Star
Sir Ben Kingsley reprises Trevor Slattery in an eight-episode Marvel comedy on Disney+, marking 15 years of the character’s presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- On January 27, Sir Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery in Marvel's Wonder Man, an eight-part series streaming on Disney Plus as part of phase six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Having first appeared in Iron Man 3 , Sir Ben Kingsley says he has revisited Trevor Slattery repeatedly, never imagining the role would span 15 years of his career.
- The series is a comedy-style Hollywood satire about fame and moviemaking, with American actor Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II playing Simon Williams, who leads a Wonder Man film remake alongside Trevor Slattery.
- Kingsley reflected on his honours, telling Radio Times he would keep `My knighthood. I revered greatly the late Queen Elizabeth, her father’s nerve and the family’s nerve during the Second World War.`
- Instead of music, Kingsley accepted a season at Chichester Festival Theatre and then a role with the Royal Shakespeare Company, steering him toward stage acting.
