The Walking Dead Actors Who Also Landed Roles In The MCU – Looper

Steven Yeun started acting in 2009, with roles in films like “Burning,” “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” and “Minari.” Yeun also spends a lot of time working in television, with appearances in “The Big Bang Theory,” “Warehouse 13,” and a plethora of animated series. Yeun has voiced characters in “Voltron: Legendary Defender,” “Robot Chicken,” and “Invincible.”

Of course, Yeun is probably best known for playing Glenn Rhee, the baseball-cap-wearing scout introduced with the initial cast of “The Walking Dead.” Glenn saves Rick from a herd when he nearly died in Atlanta, and his knack for slipping into and out of the city helps keep the survivors on the outskirts of the city fed. Glen becomes romantically involved with Maggie, and the two have a child, Herschel. Unfortunately, Glenn meets his end via Lucille, Negan’s barbwire-wrapped baseball bat. Negan beats him to death after Daryl sucker-punches him following his execution of Abraham.

Deadline revealed that Yeun has officially made the leap to the MCU, though his role has yet to be confirmed. He’s set to appear in “Thunderbolts,” which is slated to release in 2024. According to Deadline, his part “is not only significant to this film but could also play a role going forward in future films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” Several possibilities have floated around the Internet, including Amadeus Cho and Robert Reynolds aka, Sentry.
