MANILA, Philippines — Low box office returns are not stopping the cast of “The Marvels” from praising one another, especially star Brie Larson for Marvel newcomer Park Seo-joon.
Since the end of the actors strike in Hollywood, Disney and Marvel have been cramming promotions involving actors now that they are allowed to be promote their shows and movies.
One of Marvel’s latest promotions was a short video dedicated to Seo-joon who portrays Prince Yan of Aladna, an ally of Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.
“Park Seo-joon may be the most famous person I’ve ever worked with in my life,” said Larson in the video. The actress expressed her huge admiration from an actress who was worked with a number of fellow Oscar winners.
Following Larson’s statement was Seo-joon admitting in Korean to be genuinely thrilled to be involved in “The Marvels,” despite the minimal screentime his character is given.
Clips of Prince Yan in the film are then shown, and the promo ends with Seo-joon saying in English, “You are going to love it.”
Seo-joon was recently back in the Philippines for the first time in four years for a fan meet at the Araneta Coliseum last month.
“I cannot truly say that I can grasp the scale of how big I am here. Being able to see how everyone is welcoming, I’m really happy and also I can really say the reason that I’m able to stand and sit with you is the opportunity to meet my fans once again,” Seo-joon said in Korean during his visit.
