'Wonder Man' actor says Marvel 'optics' obvious after Black-led project cuts
"Wonder Man" actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II says he understands how it looks that two of Marvel's Black-led superhero projects hit dead ends within a day of each other this summer: "I think the optics are obvious. If I'm a big business, if I'm Disney, if I'm Marvel, I don't want to be attached to these optics."
