‘Wonder Man’ Now Has The Second Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score In The MCU

Wonder Man is yet another one of the MCU series that seems to be getting barely promoted, and dumped out as a binge on a day few are probably aware of, January 27 in this case. But reviews are coming in for the underhyped series and Wonder Man is now…tied for the second-highest scored MCU project, movie or show, or all time. Whoa.

As it stands, Wonder Man has a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, which is especially noteworthy in this current era of the somewhat underwhelming MCU. Here’s how it stacks up with the all-time high-score list covering both movies and shows:

  • Ms. Marvel – 98%
  • Wonder Man – 96%
  • Black Panther – 96%
  • Agents of SHIELD – 95%
  • Avengers Endgame – 94%
  • Iron Man – 94%
  • Thor Ragnarok – 93%
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home – 93%
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming – 92%
  • Shang-Chi – 92%
  • WandaVision – 92%

I mean, wow. While I thought the concept looked intriguing, I was not expecting reviews this glowing, or for it to rank this highly in the 50+ strong pantheon of MCU movies and TV shows. Here’s the very short synopsis, plus the trailer:

Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the titular hero, who previously appeared in superhero land as Black Manta in the Aquaman movies. He was also in Candyman, The Matrix Resurrections, Us, Watchmen and more. Wonder Man’s budding powers in Marvel lore include strength, speed and uh, explosions.

The second half of the series is Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery, the actor character who played The Mandarin in Iron Man 3, attempting to redeem himself after that fiasco.

The secret ingredients here are likely co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest. Cretton, most famously the director of Shang-Chi, and now the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is widely expected to be a big hit like the other three. Guest, meanwhile, has written for 30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and did two dozen episodes of Community, so he’s lending a comedic talent as head writer for Wonder Man.

It feels like the last time Marvel had a “oh that’s coming out?” series like this was Ironheart, the 2025 series also released as two drops of three episodes, seemingly disconnected from the rest of the MCU. But Wonder Man is reviewing much, much better, and this went from mildly intriguing to a must-see rather quickly with these scores.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
