It's funny because I have no idea who/what most of the names is this title are. I must be out of the loop.

Came here to say the same thing. You could replace any noun or name in this headline with anything else and it would have the same effect for me

You don't know Steven Yeun? He's a great actor with a pretty successful career

I didn’t even have to check to see if he’s Bill Pullman’s son. It would be pretty funny to see Bill Pullman Jr and Kurt Russell Jr sharing the screen together.

As a comics fan, it's weird to see Marvel attempting Thunderbolts without SongBird.

Eh, the MCU has been using character rosters that fit the larger narrative. Screaming Mimi hasn't been introduced. I'm more surprised they aren't bring back Zemo for this. He was good in Civil War and the best part of Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Yeun was attached to Thunderbolts in February 2023, though Marvel did not officially announce his casting.

But on Jan. 2, news broke that the Oscar-nominated actor was departing the project centering on Marvel’s villains and antiheroes.

Thunderbolts was hit by delays due to the writers and actors strikes of 2023, with its release date pushed a year to July 25, 2025.

The film has a cast that includes Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Other notable credits include Bad Times at the El Royale and the TV series Outer Range.

He recently starred in Lessons in Chemistry, opposite Marvel star Brie Larson, where he played her character’s love interest, chemistry researcher Calvin Evans.
