Park Seo Joon’s role in “The Marvels”
Will we see some Fight for My Way or Itaewon Class realness? Or Hwarang?
Along with the K-community, we are also waiting for confirmation on Park Seo Joon’s role in “The Marvels.” There are speculations though that he will most likely portray a version of the comic book character Amadeus Chau. In the comics, (!POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!) Amadeus is a young genius who eventually becomes the new Hulk.
