Marvel’s “Wonder Man” is loaded with Easter eggs, cameos, and deep-cut ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some are obvious, while others are well-hidden.

Who better to highlight the easter eggs than the show’s production designers, Cindy Chao and Michele Yu?

The limited series, now streaming on Disney+, follows Yahya Abdul-Mateen II  as Simon Williams, an aspiring actor with supernatural powers. As a Hollywood hopeful, Simon makes the rounds of familiar L.A. studios, restaurants and movie theaters, hoping to be cast in the reboot of the superhero movie “Wonder Man.”
