Park Seo-joon, finest recognized for his roles in Itaewon Class and Parasite, is rumored to be portraying Captain Marvel’s (Brie Larson) husband, Prince Yan, in the upcoming film The Marvels. Rumors of Seo-joon’s casting within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) first arose within the summer of 2021 when Daum reported that he had been forged within the Captain Marvel sequel. By September 2021, his expertise company confirmed that his casting in The Marvels was official. However, practically a yr after he was first rumored to be showing in The Marvels, his function has remained undisclosed.
Fans have theorized about who the South Korean actor could be portraying within the MCU. Initially, the theories prompt that Seo-joon would be portraying Noh-Varr in The Marvels. In the comics, Noh-Varr is a soldier serving underneath the Kree empire in an alternate universe. His powers had been additional enhanced by the truth that he had altered his DNA with insect genes, making him half-man and half-cockroach. During a mission, his ship was destroyed as he and his crew flew over Earth 616. After the crash touchdown in New Jersey, Noh-Varr performed a outstanding function in Secret Invasion which is set to become a Disney+ TV collection in 2023.
As a outcome, many assumed that Seo-joon was portraying Noh-Varr and would first make his look in Secret Invasion earlier than occurring to seem in The Marvels. However, new rumors recommend that Seo-joon will truly be portraying Prince Yan, Captain Marvel’s husband and the prince of Aladna.
Will Seo-joon be Prince Yan in The Marvels?
The rumor of Seo-joon portraying Prince Yan in The Marvels was reportedly first sparked by Marvel insider, Danie Richtman. The insider reportedly revealed the information on Patreon.com earlier than it made its technique to Twitter. According to Richtman, Seo-joon is portraying Prince Yan, the “chief of a musical planet the place everybody has to sing to speak.”
The planet in query appears to be planet Aladna. In the comics, inhabitants of Aladna spoke solely in rhymes. Additionally, the males on the planet had no alternative in marriage. As a outcome, when the mutant baby Lila Cheney, gifted with intergalactic transportation powers, arrived in Aladna, she grew to become engaged to Prince Yan. Years later, upon her return to Aladna, she and Prince Yan now not wished to marry, however the royal household held them to their engagement. When the villain Marlo confirmed as much as problem Lila for the hand of Prince Yan, Captain Marvel fought in Lila’s place. Upon defeating Marlo, Captain Marvel grew to become Prince Yan’s bride. As a results of her place, she allowed him to wed a bride of his personal selecting.
The rumor wasn’t met with enthusiasm by MCU followers who’ve been holding out for Larson’s Carol Danvers to return out as a member of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood. Fans had been additionally delay by the thought of Seo-joon’s character main a musical planet, as they questioned if that meant The Marvels could be a musical.
I’m not so positive concerning the “musical” thought both, however I’m hoping it’s simply one other time period used to acknowledge that the inhabitants of Aladna communicate in rhymes. While the thought of Captain Marvel having a husband might not attraction to followers, in addition they have to do not forget that, based on comedian e book historical past, it isn’t essentially a standard husband/spouse scenario. Instead, it was about two characters serving to one another out to verify that each women and men ought to have a alternative with regards to choosing a companion. And don’t overlook, as of proper now, it’s only a rumor! We should await official affirmation from Marvel on the way forward for Prince Yan.
