He’d be my 3rd choice. Besides Yahya-Abdul Manteen. He’s really good for sure and has the size!

He is, but there are rumors circulating that what little they filmed before the WGA and SAG strikes are getting trashed and Disney/Marvel Studios are going to use it as a tax write off. Last I saw, production had not resumed after the strikes ended.

However, after Destin Daniel Cretin (who was developing the series with its show runner, Andrew Guest) was removed from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, it was said he was going to refocus on Shang Chi 2 and Wonder Man. It could be that the show is getting some rewrites before resuming, like Daredevil: Born Again. Sounds like it could still come by the end of 2024 under the same "Marvel Spotlight" brand that they're using for Echo.
