Admittedly, my first instinct was to cast Matt Bomer, but since he’s already playing Larry Trainor in the DC series “Doom Patrol,” it’s a better idea to cast his doppelgänger, Cheyenne Jackson. 

Jackson got his start in musical theater so he’s already a proven physical actor, but the role that proves he’d be a killer Wonder Man is surprisingly another Disney property, the television film “Descendents 3” where he played the live-action version of Hades from Disney’s “Hercules.” Cheyenne Jackson absolutely kills it in the role, which shares a lot of spiritual energy with a character like Wonder Man due to the sarcasm, classic good looks, and dynamic emotional range. 

Jackson will soon be seen in the highly-anticipated “Borderlands” film as weapons manufacturer Jakobs, and thanks to his guest spots on “American Horror Story” and “30 Rock,” he’s got a perfect grasp on the anti-hero comedy required of a character like Simon Williams.
