(MHNSPORTS Heewon Kim reporter) Actor PARK SEO-JOON in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film 'The Marvels' has finally been released. However, is it because expectations were too high? As much as the audience were glad, there was disappointed.

The movie 'The Marvels,' which was released on the 8th, depicts the story of Carroll Danvers (Brie Larson), a hero who protects the universe, unexpectedly playing a new team play as her position changes with Monica Rambo (Teyona Paris) and "Miss Marvel" Kamala Khan (Iman Bellany). It is a sequel to 'Captain Marvel,' which was released in 2019 and attracted 5.8 million viewers.

PARK SEO-JOON plays Jan, the husband of Captain Marvel and prince of the musical planet Aladra. After Su-hyun in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (2015) and Ma Dong-seok in 'Eternals' (2021), he became the third Korean actor to appear in Marvel.

After the news of the casting, there was a lot of speculation about his role and quantity. However, as it approached the release date, it was expected that the amount or screen time would not be significant. At a recent video press conference, director Nia DaCosta also said, "Although he has a short portion, he is a character with impact. It's an important role," he said.

As Director DaCosta declared, the amount was short. PARK SEO-JOON's role, Jan is a prince of the planet Aladra who is expected to invade the enemy. He was married to Danvers in the past. PARK SEO-JOON welcomes the Marvels and helps them against the enemy.

However, there are not many opportunities to checkPARK SEO-JOON's acting because the meeting is brief and the battle is focused on the three main characters. If you collect his appearance, it's about two to three minutes. It's practically like a cameo.

In addition, it is difficult to say that Jan is an important figure in the development of the entire play. It is no more than a prince of a planet that makes the stage for the battle.

There surely was an impact. The language of the planet Aladra is music and so PARK SEO-JOON showed his dancing and singing skills, making a pleasant atmosphere. Since it is a planet with a unique personality, the impact in the play was definitely intense.

However, the impact is not just as positive. In particular, PARK SEO-JOON's appearance looks like a somewhat ridiculous cosplay to Korean audiences.

If you have high expectations, you will be disappointed. Fans applaud PARK SEO-JOON for taking this new challenge, but his first Hollywood debut leaves more regret.
