Marvel Breaks Rules with Meta Wonder Man Campaign
13 Feb
Summary
- Wonder Man campaign embraced meta marketing tactics.
- Real Hollywood landmarks and actors featured in promotion.
- Campaign included a fake Hollywood Reporter cover.

The marketing for Marvel's 'Wonder Man' series embraced a unique meta approach, signaling a departure from conventional superhero promotions. This strategy included a creative campaign that featured real Hollywood landmarks and invited actors to play themselves, fully immersing the promotion within the entertainment industry theme.
A notable element was the creation of a fake Hollywood Reporter cover, a bold move that received official approval. This, along with other meta moments like fictional director Von Kovak announcing the movie on X and Sir Ben Kingsley appearing as Trevor Slattery, garnered significant attention and views.
The campaign extended to filming on location in Los Angeles, with a Starline Tours bus tour highlighting filming spots for influencers and the public. Even a vintage trailer for the fictional 'Wonder Man' film was released, continuing the show's meta narrative.
