We learned last Wednesday that Steven Yeun – who was set to play Sentry, Marvel’s equivalent of Superman – in Thunderbolts, which is set to hit theaters in 2025, was leaving the project. The actor, who will soon star in Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi film Mickey 17, revealed the reason for his departure to an American magazine. variety.

There was no justification at the time of the announcement, but accordingly The Hollywood Reporter Steven Yeun’s decision to leave the project was reportedly due to production delays due to the actors’ strike and scheduling conflicts.

The actor confirms the information and specifies that he left the project due to time. He is still interested in a role in the MCU.

“I think the passage of time and changes have distanced me a little from the project. But I know Jake will do an incredible job. It took many email drafts to make sure I was sincere about my regrets about resigning.The actor then adds:I want to do a Marvel movie, but I probably pissed off too many people by walking away, so I’ll just say, “Thanks for trusting me.”.”

When asked what roles he wants to play, the actor said:I have some ideas. “But I’ve learned that if you reveal them, you’ll never get them, so I’ll keep them to myself.”.

Stephen Yun So obviously changed his mind during the strike, but is open to other suggestions from Marvel. And the actor probably has another role to see him in. It remains to be seen if Kevin Feige will offer him anything else after this departure…
