Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts’ adds another key cast member
The movie, which is set to be released on July 26, 2024, looks to have added an actor that could play a key role moving forward.
Marvel Studios has added yet another notable actor to their ever-expanding franchise. Academy Award nominee Steven Yeun will reportedly be joining Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts’.
Yeun’s breakout role was back in 2010, when he joined the cast of ‘The Walking Dead’ as the fan-favorite character, Glenn Rhee. Since then, Yeun has appeared in many acclaimed films, including his performance as Ricky “Jupe” Park in Jordan Peele’s 2022 film ‘Nope’.
The accredited actor’s involvement has fans eager to tune in upon the film’s release.
Who will Steven Yeun play in ‘Thunderbolts’?
Although Yeun’s role hasn’t been confirmed by the actor and Marvel Studios, sources revealed to Deadline that Yeun is set to play a significant character within the movie. His role could potentially lead to more involvement in future MCU films.
Although Yeun’s character is still undisclosed, many fans speculate that he will be playing Sentry. The character, who also carries within him the supervillain known as the Void, made his first appearance in September 2000.
“My boy is finally getting the roles he deserves. He’s an excellent choice for Sentry,” one fan wrote on Twitter, in response to the announcement that Yeun will be joining the MCU.
