Disney’s D23 Magazine (Winter 2025) has revealed that Josh Gad, best known as the voice of Olaf in the Frozen movies, will join the MCU with his debut in Wonder Man on Disney+. The magazine reports that Gad will play “an extremely famous version of himself,” highlighting that his role will feature musical segments where he can display his singing talent.

Wonder Man is described as a satirical comedy that playfully mocks the entertainment industry and superhero tropes. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II takes on the lead as Simon Williams, an aspiring actor trying to make it in Hollywood who finds himself pulled into the superhero world. Ben Kingsley will reprise his role as Trevor Slattery, marking his fourth appearance as the character after Iron Man 3, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King.

Wonder Man is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on January 27, 2026.

How do you make a project better? Add more Gad.

.....said no one. Ever. But honestly he will probably be the best part of the show He's playing an exaggerated version of himself so likely expect terrible behavior for comedic effect.

I think we all were a little shocked by the fake Mandarin being brought back, and actually being entertaining, in Shang Chi. Not sure we need it again. Kinda feels like going to the well too often. And there is no way this makes up for not having Hank McCoy to pal around with. That is one of the best things about WonderMan. They waited too long to intro this character, so he won't have that connection to Wanda and Vision that makes him so important. No connection to Zemo or even the Avengers, that we know of. A big part of what works with Marvel are the connections. This is a lot of what's been missing lately. I am hopeful, as always, and Want to enjoy this, just not seeing much to get me excited. I hope to be wrong, as I was with my worries on FF.

Not going to play a lier, when I say I feel a lot like many people when I say I have seriously low expectations for this show, the premise just seems so deviated from the source material and the entire project by design seems like a less then stellar affair, It feels like this is a joke inside a joke, and it doesn't take itself seriously, I wish I didn't feel that way, but I just don't have much excitement for this, the only shreds of excitement I have is that it's marvel and I'm willing to give it a chance and hope for the best, but this just seems like it's face down in a puddle, judging from everything I've seen, I don't even feel like Marvel studios has much faith in it, seems like a "we made this let's just chuck it out there, see what gives"

I will watch it, I hope I like it, but whenever I have a strong feeling about something I usually am right, cases in point, my so/so feelings about Echo, Ironheart, Ms Marvel...or I mean it counts less but Venom 3, Madame Web... when I smell it I usually ain't tripping.

Can't you just wait for it to air before casting doubt?

After all these years on the planet, there's nothing that I can't judge in art through a trailer that doesn't come to fruition. The premise and whole thing is just pointless
