Galactus is rumored to be the main villain of Marvel's anticipated Fantastic Four movie reboot. Wherever the Devourer of Planets goes, his most famous herald should follow, with Silver Surfer being a great role for Yeun to play in the MCU. Silver Surfer might seem like a simple character at face value, but he holds a complexity that the Best Actor Oscar-nominated Yeun could easily bring to the big screen. Yeun could excel at bringing Silver Surfer's tragic backstory of sacrifice to life, making the character one to root for in the MCU.
9 Steven Yeun Could Be A Devious Villain As Mister Sinister Mister Sinister Is Rumored To Be The Main Foe Of The MCU's X-Men![]()
While Magneto was the main villain of Fox's X-Men franchise across two different timelines, a new rumor claims that Marvel is looking at a different foe from the comics to serve as the main antagonist of the MCU's X-Men. That villain is none other than Mister Sinister. The character is known to act in the shadows, pulling the strings behind several characters and events. Based on his role in Burning, Yeun has shown that he possesses the ability to play the nefarious charm and cunning of Mister Sinister to perfection.
8 The MCU's Norman Osborn Could Give Steven Yeun An A-List Role Norman Osborn Would Make For A Compelling Addition To The Next Spider-Man Trilogy Close Yeun has the star power and acting skills to take on some of Marvel's biggest characters, and one of them could be Norman Osborn. While Willem Dafoe recently returned as the Green Goblin in the MCU, Spider-Man: No Way Home's use of Osborn does not mean that the MCU will never debut its version of the villain. In fact, Marvel Studios is already playing with a different take on the character in the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series that debuts this year. Yeun could play either the villainous side of the character or stun audiences as the Iron Patriot version of Osborn in the next MCU Spider-Man trilogy.

The MCU will undoubtedly be looking at doing right by the X-Men's field leader from the comics, and Yeun could be the one to finally make Cyclops one of the biggest superhero names in live-action. In his later seasons as Glenn in The Walking Dead, Yeun showed the qualities of a veteran leader who would do his all to save others and conclude his mission, just like Cyclops would.

With the return of characters from Netflix's The Defenders Saga, such as Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin, it is possible that the rest of the Defenders will follow. However, Finn Jones' Iron Fist did not achieve the same success as his Netflix co-stars. Based on that, the MCU could replace Danny Rand entirely as its Iron Fist, which would somewhat continue from where his series left off while also allowing Marvel to feature a new Iron Fist among the rest of the Netflix cast. Yeun could play Marvel Comics' new Iron Fist, Lin Lie, with his past charismatic roles showing how he would be perfect for the role.

Now that the Kang actor has been fired, it is possible that Doom could take Kang's role as the main villain of the Multiverse Saga. Through his role in Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone reboot, Yeun has shown that he can be incredibly frightening when he wants to. Mixing that ability with Yeun's usual charm would be perfect to deliver a nuanced Doctor Doom in the MCU.

Richard Rider would be an entertaining role for Yeun. The actor's early days as Glenn in The Walking Dead have prepared Yeun to deliver a humorous performance as Nova, with Richard Rider being known in the comics to possess similar wise-cracking abilities as Spider-Man. While the character did get a little more serious as he became Nova and went on space adventures, Yeun's time in the zombie franchise also prepared him to play a confident and selfless hero such as Nova. With a Nova series reportedly in development, Yeun would better make his play for the character soon.

Spider-Man: No Way Home already introduced F.E.A.S.T., with Peter Parker's Aunt May working there and helping Dafoe's Norman Osborn at the location. In Spider-Man 4, Peter could decide to volunteer at F.E.A.S.T. to continue his aunt's work, and that could lead to Mister Negative, the community center's owner, playing a role in the MCU. Yeun could deliver the same nuanced performance as Li seen in the Spider-Man games, making the character more than a simple villain.
2 Steven Yeun Would Be Perfect As New MCU Hulk Amadeus Cho The Rumored World War Hulk Movie Could Introduce Amadeus Cho![]()
As a Korean-American actor, Yeun fits the bill to play the MCU's possible new Hulk, Amadeus Cho. What plays against Yeun getting to portray Amadeus is the fact that the character was introduced in Marvel Comics to be a young alternative to Bruce Banner, and at 40, Yeun is older than Marvel should go for with the character. Still, Yeun has the necessary charisma and acting ability to play the genius who is comfortable with his Hulk side from the get-go. With a rumored World War Hulk movie possibly on the horizon, the MCU could introduce several new Hulks, and Yeun as Amadeus Cho could be one of them.

Finally, Yeun could leave his role as Sentry in Thunderbolts behind and join the MCU as one of Marvel Comics' most powerful villains — The Beyonder. The character was directly responsible for the first version of the Secret Wars event from the comics, also playing an important role in the version that inspires 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. The Beyonder is every bit as unpredictable as he is powerful, and Yeun's roles in Burning and Nope show that he could make the rumored secret villain of Avengers: Secret Wars a foe like no one else. In the end, whatever character Steven Yeun gets to play in the MCU, Marvel will be winning.
