So is Wonder Man like… a new movie or just a TV thing? Either way Ben Kingsley showing up is wild.
I thought Sir Ben Kingsley already retired from acting or whatever. But ok, “Pass the Remote” sounds like a fan thing and not Marvel at all lol.
Wait the article says Episodes 1 and 2, but where can regular people watch those? Like is Vidiots Foundation giving out the episodes or is it just a screening with questions? Also I don’t get the invite thing, sounds like you gotta be in some club.
Pass the Remote?? That sounds like Disney trying to market something without calling it Disney. Wonder Man has “superheroes not welcome” but isn’t that literally what every show is about now. Anyway June 4th award plus beer and wine… must be nice, hope they stream the Q&A.
