Marvel Television’s “Wonder Man” has been a favorite of IndieWire’s this award season, and we’re kicking off June with several celebrations of the hit show. First off, creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest will receive the Wavelength Award at the IndieWire Honors on Thursday, June 4. Then less than a week later, IndieWire will once again celebrate Cretton and Guest with star Sir Ben Kingsley in tow.
IndieWire’s latest Pass the Remote screening at Vidiots Foundation in Eagle Rock will see the three talents participate in bookending Q&As moderated by IndieWire’s awards editor Marcus Jones. The event kicks off at 5pm, with a pre-screening conversation with Kingsley before Episodes 1 and 2 are shown. Afterwards, Guest and Cretton will sit down for another conversation breaking down the creative process that went into the two episodes. A beer and wine reception will follow.
“Wonder Man” has been praised as one of the more innovative series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. An official synopsis for the series reads: “Set against the backdrop of Hollywood, ‘Wonder Man’ follows Simon Williams, a struggling actor with extraordinary powers who is determined to land his big break. When he crosses paths with eccentric veteran actor Trevor Slattery (Sir Ben Kingsley), the two embark on a hilarious and heartfelt journey through the entertainment industry while Simon struggles to keep his superhuman abilities hidden in a world where superheroes are no longer welcome.”
TV Academy and guild members can request an invite here. Space is limited, admission is not guaranteed, and seating at the event is first-come, first-served.
