RUMOR: Steven Yeun Could Join MCU With New Role After Leaving Thunderbolts

Key Takeaways

  • Steven Yeun left Thunderbolts due to scheduling conflicts, but may join MCU in another role.
  • Yeun was rumored to play Sentry in Thunderbolts; Marvel considering him for undisclosed MCU role.
  • Yeun confirmed leaving Thunderbolts in January; expressed interest in Marvel; fans hopeful he’ll return.

As a hardcore Marvel fan with a soft spot for Steven Yeun since his days as Glenn Rhee on “The Walking Dead”, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and disappointment when it comes to this latest news about him and the MCU. On one hand, I’m excited that there might still be a chance for him to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially given his incredible acting skills and the potential roles he could play. But on the other hand, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever get to see Yeun as Sentry in “Thunderbolts”.

Originally, Steven Yeun was intended to appear in the movie “Thunderbolts,” but he had to withdraw because of scheduling issues. Nevertheless, it’s possible that he could still become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at a later date.

It’s been whispered that Yeun could star as Sentry in the upcoming film, Thunderbolts. Although there hasn’t been an official confirmation about his role in the movie, his close friend Robert Kirkman (the creator of The Walking Dead and Invincible) has mentioned that Yeun went for a costume fitting for Sentry. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Yeun had to part ways with Thunderbolts as filming dates were pushed back during Hollywood strikes, and he had previous engagements. Nevertheless, despite leaving Thunderbolts, Yeun remains keen on working in Marvel films, and there’s a possibility that his wish might come true.

Hey there, fellow gaming enthusiast here! Just stumbled upon some buzz about it, but apparently, I could potentially be in line for another Marvel role according to some insiders. ComicBookMovie dropped this juicy tidbit, though they didn’t specify the character yet. With Marvel working on that X-Men reboot, fingers crossed I might end up there! Some fans are hoping for me to play Beast due to his genius intellect and significant contributions to both X-Men and Avengers. But who knows? Maybe Marvel has their eyes set on casting me as Amadeus Cho – a.k.a Brawn, an intriguing character from the Marvel comics, related to the Hulk family they’ve been focusing on lately. Excited to see where this leads!

In an interview with Variety in January, it was confirmed that Yeun had signed up for the film Thunderbolts. However, he regretted having to withdraw from the project as he found it challenging to communicate his decision to the production team. The filming of Thunderbolts was postponed in May due to the WGA strike and hadn’t started until February this year. They wrapped up shooting in June. Unfortunately, Yeun had other commitments, which meant he had to step away from Thunderbolts. To express his apologies, Yeun said it took multiple drafts of emails to get the sincerity across. Despite having to leave the project, he was grateful for the opportunity and expressed a desire to work on a Marvel film in the future.

Fans were disheartened when Siyuan parted ways with the Thunderbolts team, as they had been eagerly anticipating his portrayal of Sentry. His exit was seen as another setback for Marvel. However, if there’s a possibility for him to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Marvel Studios would undoubtedly take it into consideration. Moreover, Siyuan expressed regret over leaving the project and didn’t leave things on bad terms, so there’s a chance he could return to the MCU if another opportunity arises.

Undeniably, I find myself captivated by the acting prowess of Steven Yeun. He possesses the versatility to bring any character to life, whether it’s a hero, villain, or anti-hero. His exceptional performances have earned him an Emmy and Golden Globe awards, notably as Danny Cho in “Beef” and Glenn Rhee in “The Walking Dead”. With his remarkable talent, I can only imagine the impact he would make if he were to join Marvel Studios.
