Marvel actor Josh Gad disclosed that his character in the upcoming Wonder Man series was originally slated to die in a gruesome, over‑the‑top way, with his body severed in a single scene. The plan was scrapped in favor of a portal exit that sends him into DeMarr “Doorman” Davis’s body, sparking a tongue‑in‑cheek discussion about a new “Doorman clause” that would bar superpowered actors from Hollywood jobs.

According to Gad,the initial death sequence would have shown his body “completely come apart” and “died” in a slapstick fashion . The writers later pivoted to a portal that transports Wonder Man into Doorman Davis’s body, a change that led to the creation of a fictional clause prohibiting superpowered beings from working in the entertainment industry. Gad joked that the scenario mirrors Jonah and the whale, hinting at a future narrative where Wonder Man might live inside Davis’s body.
