Introducing Doorman: Marvel Studios' New Mutant in Wonder Man Series
Marvel Studios has announced the addition of a new mutant character to its upcoming Wonder Man series. DeMarr Davis, also known as Doorman, will be portrayed by Byron Bowers in the Disney+ show. Doorman, a character introduced in 1989 in West Coast Avengers No. 46, possesses the ability to become intangible and allow others to pass through walls. He is recognized for his minimalist black suit with white gloves, boots, cape, and a mask with diamond-shaped eye openings. Doorman has often collaborated with the Great Lakes Avengers in the comics, but it remains uncertain if the team will appear in the series.
The Wonder Man series, set to premiere on January 27, 2026, marks Marvel Studios' first project of the year and an early installment in Phase 6. The show follows Simon Williams, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, as he navigates the entertainment industry in pursuit of a superhero film role. Alongside Abdul-Mateen II, Sir Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery in the series. Doorman's introduction in Wonder Man adds to the expanding roster of mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with characters like Namor and legacy X-Men actors set to make appearances in future projects.
The inclusion of Doorman in the Wonder Man series has generated excitement among fans, as they anticipate seeing this lesser-known character brought to life on screen. Marvel Studios continues to diversify its on-screen mutant lineup, promising new and intriguing storylines for audiences to enjoy. Stay tuned for the premiere of Wonder Man to witness Doorman's live-action debut and the unfolding of Simon Williams' journey in the entertainment industry.
