It’s been announced that Steven Yeun will no longer be suiting up as Sentry for Marvel’s upcoming Thunderbolts.
Yeun’s participation in Thunderbolts was initially mentioned in February, even though Marvel did not formally announce the cast. During a D23 presentation five months prior, the company disclosed that the project would feature Marvel villains and anti-heroes, and include Wyatt Russell, Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and David Harbour.
Thunderbolts was impacted by the simultaneous writers’ and actors’ strikes that occurred in 2017, causing chaos in Hollywood scheduling. Filming for Thunderbolts, which was first scheduled to start in July 2024, was postponed until July 2025.
Yeun first gained notoriety from his co-starring role in The Walking Dead. In addition to competing at the Emmys later this month for actor in a limited series for Netflix’s Beef, he will compete for the Golden Globe for best male actor in a limited series on Sunday. He also shares an Emmy nomination in the outstanding or limited series category as an executive producer of Beef.
