>"Yeun is set to join Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts, in a part that is not only significant to this film but could also play a role going forward in future films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe." Now that's what I like to hear! Cannot wait to see who Yeun plays...


montybo2

Patton oswalt: "This will be our link from the Marvel Universe to the ~~star wars~~ Invincible Universe"


The_Medicus

I know it'll never happen, but could you imagine if they actually did that Invincible/Spider-Man crossover in live action?


HyperlinksAwakening

He'll have a scene with Deadpool. He will claim to want to kill Deadpool. Deadpool counters with,"Well, unlike all of you, I am..." And then they will cut to the title card, but it will say DEADPOOL, instead of invincible just to be that little extra meta.


ChaosCron1

Thinking about it. Suicide Squad would've highly benefited from this technique. "What are we? Some kind of..." SUICIDE SQUAD logo to next scene.


GrepekEbi

Hanging a hat on the joke like that and not taking it seriously could have actually worked - it came off awkward in the movie but a cut away to title to really hammer in the “HE SAID THE THING!” Gag, could have unironically saved it, especially as they had the graphic design cutaway motif thing going on with the character intros already


reece1495

happened in the comics atleast


elykl12

He's also in the Walking Dead so I guess we're tying the MCU to the broader Robert Kirkman Cinematic Universe


Philosophile42

Danai Gurira, Lauren Ridloff, Michael Rooker… I’m sure I’m missing some more.


ragenukem

Norman Reedus as Ghost Rider when?


DJfunkyPuddle

Ross Marquand played both Red Skull and Ultron


BitterFuture

Well, shit. The Kang Wave has extended even to The Walking Dead, then. I really would not have called that.


blackmagic999

Patton Oswalt: “Article 7, Section 3 allows for a citizen filibuster. If I stand here and refuse to yield my time, you are prohibited from voting on the bill. Let the filibustering begin! As many of you have noted, that using the internet, it has been announced that Disney has signed on Steven Yeun, and we will see him in the release of the MCU film “Thunderbolts”. Herewith is my proposal for the plot of that movie…”


i_should_be_coding

I would pay money to watch Omni-Man and J Jonah Jameson talk to each other live.


InsertCoinForCredit

And then Cave Johnson arrives...


Screamline

With lemons?


evetsleep

Now you can't tease this without [linking to the amazing speech](https://youtube.com/watch?v=5BBhNkywMJY&feature=shares)!


The_River_Is_Still

Thunderbolts could be so damn good. I hope they really lean into it hard. Despite the difference from the comics, it really could be a damn good movie with who they have. And it's as close to a Bucky movie as i'll ever get, so I'm in lol. Thunderbolts/Deadpool 3/Blade - Those are the ones I can't wait for to see what they do.


almodi6

I'm in the same boat. Cap 4, Thunderbolts and Blade are the three I'm looking toward too the most. I really hope they knock it out of the park with Thunderbolts. The cast of actors they have is great. The characters of Bucky, Yelena, Red Guardian, John Walker, Taskmaster and Ghost sound really promising. I loved John Walker and Yelena from phase 4. You have Winter Soldier who fans just love in general. And you have the Sentry, probably played by Steven Yeun. I really hope they can nail it.


The_River_Is_Still

Agreed. I want them to go all in. Please don't fucking half-ass this, it could be the start of something badass and just a touch more intense than the usual MCU flick. They just have to commit fully and not waste the talent they have here. I can already hear some witty back and forth between Bucky and Yelena already.


iheartdev247

They should just do Baron Zemo’s original t-bolts not the Suicide Squad Marvel style it became. You already have an established great Zemo in MCU!!


GardenStateGuru

I doubt they kill more than one member and if they do it's going to be red guardian saving yelanas life


iheartdev247

Nobody needs to die, that’s not the suicide squad angle I was referencing.


The_River_Is_Still

I would love it even more if Z was in there. Maybe they’re keeping it a secret. They’re pulling a Civil War Spider-Man. I doubt it will be as bad as suicide squad lol. Although, the second was legit.


BKWhitty

Curious who it may be. Amadeus Cho came to mind but he's probably too old for that role.


Galactic

Man he woulda been a great Amadeus Cho like back when he first started on Walking Dead.


Dave_Kun

You know I thought that as well when I saw Michael Douglas was casted as Hank Pym but they made it work. This could also work.


chewytime

I was about to be like, what are you talking about? Steven’s only in his mid-20s or something, and then I looked it up. Man’s 39! Man, missed opportunity.


aim_low_

I just want a non martial artist Asian hero. No offense Shang-Chi, I'm just tired of only being able to fight. Give us at least flight or something.


xanderholland

What about Agent Jimmy Woo? Hes really good at close up tricks


CFL_lightbulb

Dude is 2 steps from sorcerer supreme! On a more serious note, I suppose Wong is also not a martial artist per se come to think of it, but the temple does have martial artist monk vibes to it, so he has his feet in the water.


[deleted]

He probably isn’t in the MCU, but in the comics Wong is a master martial artist who taught Steven how to be a pretty solid fighter without magic. Strange’s combat training by him leads to one of the best parts in “Dr Strange: The Oath”. Whether he is or isn’t we don’t actually know in the MCU. Because quite frankly, there has never really been a time for him to show that he’s capable of combat. Why show off you Kung Fu when you have fucking magic?


CFL_lightbulb

I’m sure he’s more or less the same. In the first movie everyone is a bit martial arts, and Wong does pretty good fighting that tentacle monster in MoM, and shows up Abomination in Shang Chi, so I think it’s safe to say the dude knows how to fight


OhZone17

Uh, Gemma Chan from Eternals?


ZacPensol

I know he's just a side character, but let us not forget the greatest FBI agent/amateur magician, Jimmy Woo! Still, I can understand OP's feelings, albeit from the outside. Yeun is a great actor and not really known for his physical prowess (then again, neither was Simu, I reckon) so hopefully that's indicative of him getting a different kind of role.


Dragmire_Afterlife

Yeah but Jimmy Woo is a mystic magician


ZacPensol

Jimmy Woo transcends the mystic arts. He is a student of Online Close-Up Magic University, not some petty Kamar Taj nonsense.


CrowleyCass

Jimmy Woo and Donny Blaze Mystery Tour! This shit writes itself!


looking4away44

To be fair, that’s just an Asian looking robot.


nobes0

So Gemma Chan in Humans?


Majestic-Marcus

Marvel will never know how close to my dreams they came.


SemiFormalJesus

I’ll never forget you PHILLIP J. FRY. *memory deleted*


mas1108

Uh, Wong the mystic artist


progdrummer

I believe you mean, Long Dong Wong The Sorcerer Supreme


mas1108

I have many names, my people call me Sorcerer Supreme, but my enemies call me Long Dong Wong


[deleted]

Wong would like to chat


HotZoneKill

Uh Gilgamesh? Kingo?


TiddyTwizzla

Gilgamesh was a beast but let’s be honest here bro, he literally just went around punching


HotZoneKill

His cosmic boxing gloves weren't kung fu or East Asian martial art influenced tho.


ali94127

We got Quake and Nico Minoru. Do want Mr. Negative in the upcoming Spider-Man movies. Wouldn’t mind Armor in X-Men either.


AhTreyYou

Mr. Negative is the perfect villain for Spider-Man 4. Keep it more grounded and street level and have him destroying Feast and ruining Mays legacy.


Meizas

Ooh, he could be great in this role!


IronMan_MarkLXXXV

Don’t forget Ms. Marvel y’all


knokout64

I think when saying Asian context usually means eastern Asian countries (China, Japan, South Korea) even though countries like India and Pakistan are in Asia.


Luxury-ghost

That's true in the USA, not always true in other English speaking countries. In the UK, "Asian" is just as often (if not more often) used to refer to people of South Asian ancestry.


hey-its-sina

i mean yeah and it’s kind of a hot topic within the asian-american / pacific islander community, erasure of non east-asian populations in conversations about aapi people and issues


Danhuangmao

When Americans say Asian they mean East Asian. When Brits say Asian they mean South Asian (and occasionally Middle Eastern). Basically the most common Asian immigrant population in either place.


aim_low_

Correct, Russia is also part of Asia but I don't count Red Guardian for this conversation.


FaveDave85

There are some parts of russia where the people look very asian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuts


Rfl0

Much better than what they did to William Jackson Harper in Quantumania - talk about wasting an actor.


scatterbrain-d

I mean he survived and his character was important enough to have a name, so he could show up at any time.


TheWhyteMaN

> William Jackson Harper 's character I just hope they get rid of the "Hey mind reader guy is a mind-readin' again-bell" Was there really no other way to let the audience reasonably assume that he was reading minds?


Rfl0

The whole population of the Quantum realm seems like it came straight from the Rick and Morty writer’s room.


KvasirsBlod

When they opened an interdimensional portal in their garage I was totally expecting Scott to make a R&M reference.


anthonyg1500

I knew there was a chance he might be wasted but I wouldn't have guessed it'd be to the extent that he did. Hope he gets another shot at a big budget movie if that's what he wants


chrisapplewhite

He's playing Jim Thunderbolts.


LethalPoopstain

Mark Grayson


upfromashes

Steven Yuen is fucking tremendous. Really stoked that he's coming into the MCU.


The_River_Is_Still

Friggin massive. I heard his nickname in the business is Squatch. They have to have him on his knees and use CGI for everything he's in since he's so damn huge.


upfromashes

It's very expensive, but it's worth it!


The_River_Is_Still

lol. Agreed!


RollinsThunderr

Big fan of this man! He’s been in some great movies since leaving TWD. Highly recommend everyone check out Burning (2018)


Unn02cou

And Minari (2020) where he got an Oscar nom


bezraw

Stellar film, his performance was incredible


tanis_ivy

I watched Minari because I was bored, it's not my usual type of movie. I've watched it 5-times since. Great story and characters. Such a fascinating story to watch. Mayhem (2017) is a fun watch


c_c_c__combobreaker

He was also great in "Nope".


beauFORTRESS

the part where he was using an SNL skit of his past trauma to describe said trauma was incredible


Cli4ordtheBRD

How nervous he was before the debut of his new show after hyping it up so much. Homie didn't know how the wild animal was going to react...he had a bad experience with that once...which they covered in a truly terrifying and tense flashback. He's also great in Sorry To Bother You (which is also fantastic and surreal).


Hot_Eggplant_1306

I'm floored Nope wasn't a bigger hit. I loved it.


ThisHatRightHere

Has an 80-something on rotten tomatoes, tripled its budget at the box office, that’s better than most horror films do.


korundobifu

Tripled the budget? That's a W.


_Bumble_Bee_Tuna_

Got a little weird at the end but i enjoyed it overall


thewhitelink

That's just a Jordan Peele movie.


Sp1derX

I liked the part where it turned into a live action anime


Antigone6

Mayhem with Samara Weaving is a fuck-ton of fun.


Alleggsander

Also Invincible! An amazing cartoon in the superhero genre. Definitely check it out if you haven’t already.


[deleted]

I binged the entire comic series in five days. I almost got fired because I wasn’t working I was just reading invincible.


mindwire

Das too much comics, man


Slowmobius_Time

I really love Mayhem (2017) with his lead role, it wasn't the greatest but he shined in it


waraw

If you go into Mayhem with the attitude of "mindless action" then it's great. For mindless action.


kingmeat76

I love Mayhem. I’ve seen it several times. He and Samara Weaving work so well together.


ShariceDavidsJester

Burning was a mindfuck from top to bottom. Highly recommended.


UmeshgaarB

Burning was the slowest burn I've ever experienced but I could not take my eyes off the movie. One of the best movie I've ever seen.


mvnvel

Burning, Nope, Minari. He can act. Hopefully Marvel does him justice by giving him more than a one-off,


Omegamanthethird

Mayhem was great fun too.


cbekel3618

Omni-Man beat up Mark so bad, he had to move to a different franchise lol. Yeun's a great actor so it's really awesome to see him joining the MCU


Project0range

You'd think daddy-o shoving his son's face through hundreds of squishy humans in a subway would keep him out of the superhero life forever! What a crazy last episode.


AVtechN1CK

"THEORY: Is J. Jonah Jameson secretly the OMNI-MAN variant?"


notchoosingone

"What will you have after 500 years?" "...a fat MCU paycheck"


PartarioGoatlegs

Whoever he plays, I hope they don't use too small a slice after a mudpie


AdmiralCharleston

Shouldn't a'had such a sloppy mud piiiie


mayanrelic

Ahhhh just rewatched season one last night. So so so good


captainboosh007

Let my wife eat the fucking receipt.


PetesMaGeets

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"


Riff316

FUCK


spate42

Imagine if they let Tim robinson spearhead a marvel project


JammingTheS1gnal

That would be my exact style


micopico09

right in your Q zone


jmeltzer317

The Marvel Movie is his corn!


JammingTheS1gnal

He was just trying not to use too much paper towel


Reggie__Ledoux

I eat paper all the time! What I don't like to make a habit of doing is eating mud pie!


Slowmobius_Time

And now my stomachs all fucked up!


Reggie__Ledoux

Someone call 911. Tell them send an ambulance. Tell them it's the ugly house on Kenmore. The one where you see the KFC sign *through their front window*.


tylerseher

Just a heads up, your wife gave me a kiss on the cheek. Thought you should know.


sirbobbledoonary

People can change


Slowmobius_Time

Hey man it's no big deal you had a big mudpie and you didn't wash your hands it happens


Toomb8

I love Steven yeun


Rudias87

Always wanted him in the MCU. I'm happy!


2Fonzie2Fabio

It's MCYeun to you, now!


No-Context5479

Yeun is an impeccable actor so this is such a good pick up


Infernalism

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm super-excited to see The Thunderbolts.


The_River_Is_Still

Dude, its one of the MCU movies I'm most hyped for. I don't even care how far from the comics it is. I love the actors they have in it and I love the idea of an anti-hero Avengers.


NerdLawyer55

That comic book reveal is still probably one of my favorite runs of all time


karateema

Which one?


NerdLawyer55

The original thunderbolts run when we thought they were heroes with the FF and avengers dead and like issue 1-2 they reveal they’re the masters of evil


koiven

Its very brave of you to admit that you're looking forward to an mcu movie on the mcu subreddit


19Jamie93

I hope he gets to really show off his acting chops and gets a good story to do so. Hero or villain or something in between. Would have been my pick for Ant Man if Paul Rudd wasn’t chosen


KlobbCity

I wanted him as Namor after seeing Burning, I'm not sure people are aware about how good he could be as a villain.


thegeocash

What if he’s o’grady? O’grady ant man was in the thunderbolts


NeitherAlexNorAlice

He's gonna be Luke Cage. You heard it here first.


[deleted]

Grown-up King T'Challa II!


AltruisticCellist864

Damn, prince T’Challa is grieving too hard so he enter the sixth stage of grief: Asian


alex494

Emotional damage!


Galactic

Sweet Christmas


marccoogs

I feel like we are at a point, that he could be playing any role, not just the characters that he may look like.


MattTheSmithers

So you’re telling me he’s playing Wolverine?


DoubleStrength

My money's on Jean.


MVShinji

Mr Negative? Could be interesting


JulixgMC

That's a Spider-Man character, so it's Sony's


tmfitz7

If they put me in charge of the MCU for a phase he’d be my pick for Reed Richards.


hero-ball

I still want Lakeith Stanfield for Reed, but this would be cool


[deleted]

Nah, Lakeith as Silver Surfer would be my pick


hero-ball

Yeah idk about that one. Silver Surfer is way too stoic and faceless. That would be a bummer.


rango_unchained_

My pick would be Steven Strait. And Wes Chatham for the Thing. Yes, I like the Expanse very much.


tranquil-animals

Amadeus, that you?


dinosaurfondue

While that would be really cool, he's way, way older than Amadeus Cho. I'm hoping he'll play someone else


tranquil-animals

True. Don’t know the character outside of the fact he’s smart and totally awesome which seemed to fit.


tranquil-animals

I like the Sentry idea, fun choice.


AltruisticCellist864

Ain’t him bit old for Amadeus


AbsoluteBrutality

I guess there's a maybe a sliiiight chance I'll be wrong if they try end up doing something drastically different from the comics, but... FAN CASTING and CHOOSING AN ACTOR MANY YEARS TOO OLD TO PLAY THE PART. Name a more iconic duo.


code_archeologist

I wonder if they go that route instead of making **President** "Thunderbolt" Ross into Red Hulk.


Berta_Movie_Buff

Florence Pugh’s return had me interested. Now? Even more interested.


JokerFaces2

Yeun as Sentry is an inspired pick, and I have no doubt he’ll bring nuance to the part.


proto3296

Nah I’d rather him not be sentry to be honest. I picture sentry as someone who’s super yolked up like a young Dolph Lundgren


bloodyturtle

you know they put all these guys on gear


RobbieFouledMe

They need someone who can portray sentry and his mental health issues properly, I’d rather that than just some yolked action star


OkMeasurement420

Can’t picture him as Sentry.


VikingPain

I think there's a rumor out there that Marvel was more then willing to cast a POC actor as the Sentry to avoid comparison with Homelander. Which honestly, makes a ton of sense.


the-bladed-one

Sentry is a long haired dude who honestly just needs a therapist, and doesn’t have any neo Nazi connections If true, marvel is imagining an issue that isn’t there


funtree2023

Am I missing something, the Sentry seems a weird character to show up in Thunderbolts, no?


JokerFaces2

Rumors suggest that Sentry will be the villain, or at least a deranged anti-hero antagonist, with Ross assembling the Thunderbolts to stop him.


TopPossibility4247

Invincible!!!!


sanguiniuswept

Everyone mentioning Sentry, but what if he's actually Void? Could be some interesting Mr Brooks-style conversations between two characters in one body


MonsieurAK

What if... DOOM


VikingPain

I was thinking Reed.


ImmortalMist326

If the info that Marvel is aiming to cast 100% accurately for the F4 is true, then Doom is probably gonna be a Romani actor.


why_rob_y

> Marvel is aiming to cast 100% accurately for the F4 How are they going to find a good looking hot shot young blond actor in Hollywood to play Johnny Storm??


sillyadam94

If you love the gift as much as you say you do, then you wouldn’t have any qualms if I ate the receipt.


WitnessMe

And Jacob doesn't Touch IIIIIIIITTTT!!!


KingOfAwesometonia

Maybe it's because I imagine Yeun as a very normal down to earth guy but I could imagine him as Tony Masters. Just a merc in it for the money but willing to do some good for a price. I admit it's annoying to fancast another Taskmaster but I could see it. I didn't even hate them using Taskmaster in Black Widow as a b tier henchman who was silent. But I didn't think the twist nailed any sort of emotional resonance. And they didn't really use the mimicry powers in a cool enough way in my opinion. Whoever he plays, I'm happy he got cast.


SalukiKnightX

I mean making it to where Taskmaster is a subliminal program allows almost anyone to take the mantle, even Antonia despite her time in the role being used under duress. I could see it as her not wanting the mantle and someone like an opportunistic, former-SHIELD agent turned merc Masters taking it willingly in maybe a clemency deal with Val.


BanjoKnuckles

I wouldn't mind it if Masters was some grizzled merc that they named the program after. I'm hoping for some pants-crapping presence from OG Masters.


DAMusIcmANc

Yeeeeeeessss!!! One of my favorites from Walking Dead, and seriously talented.


LeGarretteBlunt420

Just be ready for this movie to be covered head to toe in sloppy mud pies.


Romnonaldao

Mr Negative?


scribblerzombie

Reed Richards John Storm Scott Summers Warren Worthington III Simon Williams


Benjamin_Grimm

Simon Williams has been cast. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II


Iyo23

Sentry or Amadeus Cho… that’s my bet


CurtainsMcGee

It says he’s going to face off against the thunderbolts and has a significant role he will absolutely be sentry


Benjamin_Grimm

Unless he's a first-act villain/antagonist or Sentry isn't alone.


Iyo23

The article posted doesn’t mention him “facing off” against the Thunderbolts… unless I missed that part can you point me to where it said that?


CurtainsMcGee

It was in the tweet! https://twitter.com/krolljvar/status/1628839794326523904?s=46&t=pMbgNcCIVlXs5te4bXYWmw


HotZoneKill

Steven's too old for Amadeus, who's like 19-20 years old in the comics.


WyldeBolt

Yeah, that would be the equivalent of having Jameela Jamil play Kamala Khan...


Barthez_Battalion

Would rather see her sister as Kamala honestly...


BlazedInMyWinnie

I thought her sister was Kamilah?


Iyo23

I always felt there was an open thread to be touched on from Age of Ultron because it featured Helen Cho they could make it so that he is her son… a lot of room for possible story connectivity.


HotZoneKill

Which is weird considering he's actually older than Claudia Kim irl. Even with the Snap it doesn't make sense.


Iyo23

Oh no I didn’t mean Steven specifically. I just always thought Helen Cho was a good entry point for Amadeus way back when Ultron first came out.


HotZoneKill

I admit I'm a bit biased cause I was hoping for Hercules to be the entry point for Amadeus since *Incredible Hercules* was one of my favorite comic storylines.


Iyo23

When I saw him at the end of Love & Thunder I was hoping for that also. I love their relationship in the comics.


marco_ocho_

I know this new just dropped, but why is everyone already assuming he's playing Sentry? Is there a leak or some famous Thunderbolts comic that makes him as Sentry the most realistic?


Nico777

Not many uncasted significant roles for Thunderbolts left. It's a decent guess.


Iyo23

Rumors awhile ago that Sentry would be the main villain of the Thunderbolts movie, so everyone is putting the likelihood together.


Mizerous

Beware dumpsters he's coming


BlyArctrooper

Keep all the bats away!


[deleted]

Fuck ya. I will always root for this guy to get more roles. He was phenomenal in TWD.


lourensloki

I hope he doesn't use too small a piece!!!
