In an exclusive interview with ComicBook’s Chris Kittian, Steven Yeun addressed these rumors, and it isn’t good news. When asked whether there was truth to the rumors that he was up for a role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the actor denied it was true. “Oh, man. If there was, I wouldn’t… I don’t know about it,” Yeun said. “But that would have been dope.”
Steve Yeun Is Still Interested In Joining the MCU
Of course, Steven Yeun had signed on to play Senty in the MCU, but that ended up falling apart in the end. This was possibly for the best because Lewis Pullman was fantastic as Sentry, and it is hard to see the same character with Yeun in the role. However, there has to be a role for someone as talented as Yeun in the MCU. This could be in something like a Shang-Chi sequel, as Yeun and Simu Liu could do some magic together. It could also be in something like a Spider-Man movie, which unfortunately won’t happen this time.
However, Yeun has also said he wants to play something in the MCU, and he said he would listen to anything offered to him. His Invincible co-star Gillian Jacobs, who voices Atom Eve, also said she would love to join the MCU and mentioned the fringe street-level character of Dakota North. For Yeun, the possibilities are endless, and he just needs a chance to prove that he could be the next big thing in the MCU.
