SEOUL, Sept. 3 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean actor Park Seo-joon will star in Marvel Studios’ new superhero film, his agency said Friday.
“Park has confirmed his appearance in a Marvel Studios film and left the country this afternoon,” Awesome ENT said in a release.
Details of the project, including the title of the movie, filming schedules and locations, will be announced later, it added.
There have been rumors that Park was cast for the sequel of “Captain Marvel,” officially titled “The Marvels,” along with Brie Larson and Iman Vellani.
The project, directed by Nia DaCosta, is known to begin filming this year and set for release in 2023.
