Despite his departure from ThunderboltsSteven Yeun remains hopeful about collaborating with Marvel
Many performers feel that working on Marvel Cinematic Universe films or TV shows is an irresistible opportunity, and that the train passes only once. While it’s true that Disney and Marvel Studios productions are at their weakest point in their history, Hollywood actors and actresses are still in high demand. After all, they offer a level of exposure like virtually no other platform.
Steven Yeun claims his decision to leave Thunderbolts probably caused anger in a study led by Kevin Feige. Despite this, he remains hopeful that he will have the opportunity to participate in another Marvel feature film again in the future.
“I want to make a Marvel movie”, he said. When asked which project of the House of Ideas would be interesting to him, he answered evasively. “I think it’s too early to talk about it. I probably upset a lot of people by leaving, so I’ll just say, ‘Thanks for having me.’ I have some ideas, but I’ve heard that if you put them out there publicly, They won’t do anything. It hasn’t come to fruition, so “I’ll keep it to myself,” Steven Yeun said.
Thunderbolts will aim to be a breath of fresh air for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it centers the narrative around the eponymous group of anti-heroes. It is not yet known whether the role of the Sentry will be transferred to another actor after Steven Yeun’s departure or whether the character will be written out of the film. Surely it depends on how much weight his presence has in the plot.
