Can you believe that Park Seo-Joon will star in the next Marvel movie? Seo’s performance in Bong Joon-ho’s Academy Award-winning film Parasite created a lasting effect on the Hollywood audience. In the wake of his acclaimed performance, his value as an actor has surged. A music video for Bang Yong-guk’s single track ‘I Remember’ launched his debut in 2011. Meanwhile, that same year he featured in the movie Perfect Game. His next roles were on Shut Up Family and Dream High 2. The year 2013 saw him participate in Pots of Gold, One Warm Word, and Drama Festival. Additionally, his filmography also includes ‘The Divine Fury’, ‘Midnight Runners’, and ‘Be With You’.

Rumors about PSJ’s appearance in the next Marvel movie have been making the rounds for a very long time. Back in June 2021, a report highlighting a Park Seo-Joon starrer Marvel movie made headlines.  At the time, when asked about the report, Joon’s agency, Awesome ENT, refused to comment. Back in July, IMDb added Park Seo-Joon’s name and profile under the list of cast. So, this addition was clearly not a rumor anymore. Finally, after months of eagerly awaiting a confirmation, Park Seo-Joon’s agency has confirmed that the actor would indeed appear in the next Marvel movie.

With IMDb’s “quiet” way of dropping hints, the title of the next Marvel movie is a no-brainer. The K-Drama megastar will be in a Marvel movie titled ‘Captain Marvel: The Marvels’. If this isn’t obvious enough, yes, JSP will be starring in the second installment of Captain Marvel with Brie Larson as the lead.

The Marvels: Characters 

Although the official statement now legitimizes the previous reports, fans are even more curious to know what the title, who the characters, and release will be. An assent of his role in the movie is immeasurable. When asked about the role that the South Korean actor would be, no responses from the agency or actor have been given.
