Marvel has just revealed its latest MCU cast member in the new ‘Marvels’ trailer and the internet is losing its collective mind. The movie is set to be released on 10 November 2023 and will see Captain Marvel (Brie Larsson) return to the big screen, as she battles against an assortment of evil aliens with a female superhero dream team (starring Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris.)
Star of popular K-drama ‘Itaewon Class’ (the story of an ex-con who starts his own business,) Park Seo-Joon will be starring alongside them in a yet-to-be confirmed role. A likely theory according to Screen Rant is that he will be playing the movie’s heroic sword-wielding Prince Yan.
Fans of the South Korean actor are so used to swooning over him as a handsome restaurant owner that they are finding the crossover a little hard to wrap their heads around.
“IS THIS REAL OMGG OR IS IT JUST AN EDIT!??” one confounded Twitter user posted. Others are claiming that they are now planning to see the movie purely because of Seo-Joon.
If you’re not a massive K-drama stan (‘Squid Game’, hello!), you might know Park Seo Joon from the 2019 Academy award-nominated thriller ‘Parasite’, where he played the charming best friend of the scam artist protagonist.
Let’s have a look at some of Twitter’s most dramatic reactions:
On our way to the movie theaters for Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan.
