The new Marvel movie, "The Marvels," is set to be released on the 8th. Korean fans are particularly excited this time because the well-known Korean actor Park Seo-jun has been cast in "The Marvels." He plays the role of Jan, the prince of the Aladna planet, with a smooth charisma.
On the 7th, one day before the release, "The Marvels" director Nia DaCosta, in a virtual press conference, praised Park Seo-jun as an "incredibly talented" actor. The story behind casting Park Seo-jun began when the director watched "Itaewon Class" on the recommendation of a friend during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several months later, when she became the director of "The Marvels," she thought Park Seo-jun was a perfect fit for the movie and cast him.
Furthermore, the director complimented Park Seo-jun as a very entertaining person who brings positive energy to the set. Despite not having a lot of screen time in the film, the director emphasized that he plays a significant and important role. With the director's praise, there is a lot of anticipation not only from domestic fans but also from international fans for Park Seo-jun's future performances. Given that the movie is already the top pre-selling film, there is a lot of attention on how it will perform after its release.
