Wonder Man almost didn't survive Disney Plus strategy shift, showrunner says

Wonder Man showrunner Andrew Guest says it was a bumpy road to get the Marvel Disney Plus series made. "[There were] several moments where we almost didn't survive, I can tell you," Guest said on The Watch podcast.

He described the project as "one of the last projects in the door of the previous iteration of the Marvel Disney Plus experiment, where they were saying yes to many things... which is a nice place to be until suddenly you can't." Guest added that "there was a period during our writing where many things at Marvel were looked at sort of through a new critical lens of what we can pare down, and we were definitely one of those things that was taken off their board for a moment there."

Guest said the show's producers "fought like hell to convince people this is something worth continuing with."
