Marvel's WonderMan series has cast Demetrius Grosse as the Grim Reaper.
Marvel's newest series Wonder Man has bolstered its cast with the addition of Demetrius Grosse to the show, according to a new report by TVLine. Grosse has been cast in the role of Eric Williams, the brother of Simon Williams - the alter ego of the titular Wonder Man, who will be played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II . Grosse has most recently been seen on television in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead and Apple TV+'s Swagger, as well as Banshee, Brave and Justified.
Wonder Man was created by Stan Lee and illustrated by Don Heck and Jack Kirby and was first introduced in Marvel Comics in 1964 with The Avengers #9. The character is the son of the industrialist, Sanford Williams. In the wake of his beloved father's death, he assumes control of their highly successful ammunition business, but comes to see its successes limited when it comes into direct competition with Tony Stark’s Stark Industries.

The series is being developed by Destin Daniel Cretton - who helmed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for Marvel, and who has also been entrusted with the next Avengers movie, entitled The Kang Dynasty. Hawkeye co-producer Andrew Guest is also assisting in the development of the series. Sir Ben Kingsley is also slated to reprise his role as Trevor Slattery in the series.
