Director Destin Daniel Cretton says he is "heartbroken" over Marvel's cancellation of "Wonder Man," while his film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" surpasses $1 billion at the box office. The series, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, was axed despite a season 2 renewal. Cretton believes he and Marvel's Kevin Feige would continue the show if the streaming business allowed; co-creator Andrew Guest denies a movie is planned. The show followed a struggling actor landing a superhero film role. Abdul-Mateen, Emmy-nominated for the role, thanked fans for their support after the cancellation. Wonder Man streams on Disney+.
