The character that Yeun is supposed to play is still shrouded in mystery but he will re-team with director Jake Schreier. Steven Yeun articulates about joining the MCU, he tells Empire,
“I don’t know if it was explicitly on my bucket list, It was more the story, getting to work with Jake Schreier again, who directed Beef, and what his intentions were. The intentions of the particular character that they wanted me to play were very clear, and that’s what drew me to the film.”
