Marvel’s The Eternals Casts Train to Busan Actor

Marvel Studios may be pumping everyone up to go see Avengers: Endgame, but there are already plans set for what comes afterward. One movie in the works in The Eternals and the cast is steadily growing. Just in, we have a new cast member in the form of a famous South Korean actor.

According to The Wrap, Ma Dong-seok has been cast in The Eternals. We don't have any details on who he's playing yet, but I can imagine him playing a physically imposing character like Duras. Until Marvel makes an official announcement, I guess all we can really do is guess.

Dong-Seok is probably best known for his work in the 2016 hit Train to Busan, and I'm sure his inclusion in The Eternals is going to generate a lot of buzz when it comes to his worldwide appeal. Besides Dong-Seok, the film has also cast Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Twilight Zone) and Angelina Jolie. So far, Jolie is the only actor in the cast whose character has been revealed—Sersi.

News has it that the film is looking for an openly gay Asian lead to be the lead of The Eternals. We have no idea on who could get cast yet, but rumor has it that How to Get Away with Murder star Conrad Ricamora is being eyed for the role.

For now, everyone is putting their focus on Endgame. While nothing has been confirmed, a lot of people are guessing there's going to be a teaser for Eternals post-credits. Hopefully, it's enough to get everyone excited for the film.

No release date has been set for The Eternals, but we can catch Avengers: Endgame in theaters April 26.
