7 Marvel Universe Worthy K-Stars

Korean actors have an increasing presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Ma Dong Suk in 'The Eternals,' Claudia Kim in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' and Park Seo Joon recently reported to make an appearance in 'Captain Marvel 2.' With the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) recently making headlines through the announcement of phase 6 at Comic-Con, it'd be great to see even more Korean talent get involved in future Marvel films! With this in mind, here are seven K-stars that would rock the Marvel universe!

1. Lee Byung Hun: Having already made his Hollywood debut in the "G.I. Joe" series, it'd be great to see Lee Byung Hun showcase his extraordinary abilities as a well-rounded actor. Whatever role it may be, Lee Byung Hun is such a well-developed actor that he can adapt to any role. It'd be great to see him take the role of a superhero such as Ant-Man, funny yet intellectual at the same time!

2. Kim Tae Ri: With her spunky personality, it'd be great to see Kim Tae Ri take on a superheroine role. Many fans adored her in "Twenty Five Twenty One," where she played a very bold, determined protagonist. Determination and strive are always qualities that you can find within Marvel characters as well! Imagine her playing the role of a warrior like Gamora, with spunk and fierceness combined! 

3. Kim Woo Bin: Upon taking a glance at Kim Woo Bin, many may make the assumption that Kim Woo Bin is a cold-hearted person with his icy glare. But that's what makes him the perfect villain in the Marvel universe! Plus, many viewers have seen just how scary Kim Woo Bin can get when it comes to rivalry with his roles in "School 2013" and "The Heirs," both K-drama series where Kim Woo Bin played more of the antagonistic character. He'd be the perfect role for such a villainous character like Loki!

4. Youn Yeo Jung: With such a long career within the world of cinematic entertainment, Youn Yeo Jung would also be a great addition to the Marvel universe; just because of her elegance and regal aura, she's fit to be able to save the world! Wouldn't she fit well with the role of someone like Ying Nan?

  

5. Ahn Bo Hyun: Making such headlines with his excellent acting in "Itaewon Class," many viewers were able to get a good glimpse of exactly how evil Ahn Bo Hyun can make himself seem. So it's no surprise that if presented with a role within the Marvel universe, Ahn Bo Hyun could probably go for the villainous role, like that of Thanos, who wants to take over the entire world.

6. Choi Woo Shik: A great superhero always needs a great wingman, and Choi Woo Shik would pull off this role so well. With his boyish charms, funny personality, and sarcasm, he perfectly suits the role of Peter Parker and the superhero Spiderman!

7. Ok Taecyeon: To be a villain, you cannot fear getting your hands dirty, and that is not the case for Ok Taecyeon. Many fans were shocked to see how well Ok Taecyeon was able to portray a villainous role in "Vinzenco," so there's no surprise that he would be able to accomplish it once more if offered a role within the MCU. I mean, he was willing to kill anyone close to him just to gain power and wealth. But in real-life, he has a goofy personality. To better fit that persona, he would make a great fit for a superhero role like Peter Quill.

This article is dumb on so many levels. Could have been good if the writer took the time to use literally any of the characters that aren’t currently cast.
