‘F**k it, we back’: Fans rejoice after MCU reveals Steven Yeun is all set to star in ‘Thunderbolts’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Marvel fans assemble as we have a great piece of news for you guys! Remember Steven Yeun, who more than a decade ago broke out as part of the biggest show on TV? He is now joining the biggest film franchise of all time. Speaking of MCU, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' opened to 120 million dollars at the domestic box in its first four days. It's one of the best showings ever for the Presidents Day holiday and by far the biggest start for Marvel’s low-key franchise.
On the other hand, Yeun is known for his role as Glenn Rhee on AMC’s 'The Walking Dead' from 2010-16. After exiting the show, he starred in such films as 'Okja,' 'Sorry to Bother You,' and 'Minari,' which earned him his first Oscar nomination for best actor in a leading role. Other notable credits include 'Tuca & Bertie,' 'Invincible,' and Jordan Peele’s 'Nope'. On the horizon, Yeun is starring alongside Ali Wong in the Netflix and A24 dramedy series 'Beef,' as well as Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi thriller, 'Mickey 17'.
