Solid your thoughts again to 2023. On the time, MCU followers didn’t know who precisely would go on to play The Sentry in Thunderbolts*, however the rumor mill pointed to Invincible star Steven Yeun. So when Invincible creator Robert Kirkman let slip that Yeun could be enjoying Robert Reynolds, aka The Sentry, in Thunderbolts*, Marvel followers went wild.
Right here’s that unique quote from Kirkman two years in the past:
“Yeah, he [Yeun] referred to as me, he went in for a dressing up becoming. I hope I’m not… I don’t assume it is a spoiler or something that may get anyone in hassle. I don’t know, perhaps. We’ll see. I don’t care. I don’t work for Marvel. What are they going to do to me?
“Yeah, he referred to as me and he stated, ‘I simply got here again from a dressing up becoming for The Sentry. I suppose I solely do superheroes which might be yellow and blue.’ He stated he was on the costume becoming and was like, ‘Aww, crap. I forgot Invincible was yellow and blue.'”
Quick ahead two years, with Thunderbolts* out the door, and we all know The Sentry ultimately went to Lewis Pullman after Yeun himself dropped out. However on the time, Yeun as The Sentry felt like a positive factor. In any case, Kirkman had confirmed it.
This, it appeared, induced Kirkman all types of hassle. In an interview with IGN at San Diego Comedian-Con 2025 to advertise preventing recreation Invincible VS, we requested Kirkman who Yeun will play within the upcoming animated The Legend of Aang: The Final Airbender film, given how a lot he seemingly is aware of concerning the actor’s schedule.
“I do not wish to lose any extra sleep spoiling Steven Yeun information!” Kirkman stated. “I can not let you know how a lot that Thunderbolts factor affected me.” Then, Kirkman joked: “Why would you guys convey that up? I am so indignant.”
Kirkman wenton to disclose that he really does know who Yeun performs in The Legend of Aang: The Final Airbender, however this time stopped wanting spilling the beans – maybe together with his Thunderbolts / Marvel run-in in thoughts.
“The most effective half is he informed me who he is enjoying in The Final Airbender and I used to be like, ‘I want I did not know. I want I did not know.’”
Kirkman continued the joke, saying Steven Yeun is about to play Abraham Lincoln within the unconfirmed hit TV present primarily based on Skinbreaker, his new comedian guide sequence he’s engaged on with artist David Finch.
At Comedian-Con this yr, Kirkman introduced Invincible Season 4’s Dinosaurus voice actor, revealed what number of seasons the present might want to full the story of the comics, and joked Season 5 can be out in 2032.
