Who Are The Thunderbolts?

While Yeun is very well known for having starred on The Walking Dead as Glenn for the first six seasons and a memorable death in the season seven premiere, he did receive an Oscar nomination for his role in Minari. He has also racked up quite a few voiceover roles. It began as the first Avatar, Wan, in a starring two-part episode in The Legend of Korra, to starring as Keith on Voltron: Legendary Defender, Nathan/Wingspan on Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, Steve Palchuk across the Tales of Arcadia series, Little Cato on Final Space, Speckle on Tuca & Bertie, and of course Mark Grayson aka Invincible on Invincible. His work with A24 continues in the upcoming Netflix series Beef and reunites with his Okja director Bong Joon Ho for his next film, the sci-fi thriller Mickey 17.

Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts will be directed by Jake Schreier with Black Widow writer Eric Pearson also penning this script. The film will be released on July 26, 2024.
