Steven Yeun is making his Marvel debut in Thunderbolts. While the Oscar-nominated actor’s part is being kept under wraps, sources told Deadline that he will portray a significant role that could extend into future Marvel projects.
In the comics, Thunderbolts focuses on a group of anti-heroes who are sent on missions by the government. Previously announced stars include Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Valentina Allegra de Fontaine), Wyatt Russell (US Agent), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost) and Olga Kurylenko (Taskmaster). The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri has also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
Jake Schreier is directing Thunderbolts from a script penned by Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson. Thunderbolts is slated to premiere on July 26, 2024.
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.
