Wonder Man episode 1 features a fitting tribute to Juan 'Spike' Osorio, with Marvel showing respect to the late crew member.
, is very much a rule-breaker for the MCU. It’s not your typical superhero TV show, with a focus on character drama rather than action beats, and the character’s powers are explored in only cursory detail.
Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest’s, currently sitting at 90%, and the pitch – a down-on-his-luck actor trying to make a superhero film when he actually has superpowers – seems delightfully meta.is a homage to Hollywood itself, with a vast number of celebrities making cameos playing themselves. Attentive viewers, though, will notice thatepisode 1 is dedicated to a name they’ll be less familiar with; Juan “Spike” Osorio. There’s a tragic reason for this dedication.on February 6, 2024 . A Cal/OSHA investigation found that Osorio died after falling through a rotten catwalk at Stage 3 at the Radford Studio Center in Studio City. “The deteriorated ledger was weakened likely due to age, environmental conditions and repeated stress loads over many decades,” the investigation concluded. “Suddenly, and without warning, the ledger supporting the floorboard broke apart and collapsed as the employee was standing on this section of catwalk.” Osorio’s loved ones released an official statement mourning the death of “the most wonderful, thoughtful, and loving husband, a caring son, a wise brother, a strong friend, a brave veteran, a euphorbia enthusiast, a meticulous lighting technician, and a stickler for safety at work.” He was survived by his wife, Joanne Osorio-Wu, his mother, Zoila Osorio, and his two schnauzers, Murphy Pastrami and Sirius Pickle. Osorio was honored at a candlelit vigil on February 18, 2024, with hundreds from across the entertainment industry attending., and the tragedy led many studios to upgrade their catwalks to ensure such tragedies didn’t happen again. Now, appropriately, Marvel has chosen to honor Osorio by dedicatingepisode 1 to him. The studio had previously only released a simple statement after Osorio’s death, expressing sorrow and a willingness to work with the investigation, but this feels much more fitting.Stranger Things Creators’ New Netflix Series Looks Just As Creepy In These First Look ImagesGet access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more!
