Over $150,000 Raised For the Family of the Crew Member Who Died on Marvel’s ‘Wonder Man’ Set
A GoFundMe for the Wonder Man crew member who died on Tuesday after falling from a catwalk has already raised more than $150,000.
Juan Carlos Osorio tragically passed away while working on the Wonder Man set at Radford Studios.
“On February 6th, 2024, our friend Spike lost his life on the set of Marvel’s ‘Wonder Man’ shoot at CBS Radford studios due to a potential structural failure,” reads the fundraiser, started by Bill Martel.
“We are hoping the Production Company, The Facility, MBS, Marvel Studios handles things properly, but expect a long road fraught with attorney fees and expenses. In the mean time, bills will be mounting. And the widow, Boom Operator Joanne W. will be left to deal with everything. Help if you’re able, it’s greatly appreciated.”
Several of the contributions were from members of the IATSE who wrote messages like “in solidarity” and “we take care of our own.”
‘Wonder Man’
Wonder Man was initially set to start production last year. Filming was delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
The series is set to star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, a stuntman who gains extraordinary powers.
Also starring in the series will be Ben Kingsley (reprising his role as Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Demetrius Grosse, and Ed Harris.
While the series was initially set to debut in late 2023 or early 2024, that is no longer the case. By the looks of things, the series will not land until 2025. When it does get released, however, it will do so under the new Marvel Spotlight banner.
