Mr. Abdul-Mateen, who earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his role as Simon Williams, said he still doesn’t know exactly why “Wonder Man” was pulled. He said he was told the decision “had something to do with the viewership numbers” but was never shown the actual figures, leaving him to conclude only that Marvel “decided it didn’t make sense for business.”
