Steven Yeun is one of the prime actors in Hollywood right now and he made it clear he wants to be in a Marvel movie. He recently dropped out ofThunderboltsbut that doesn’t mean he won’t be in future Marvel projects.
A fan took toTwitterand pointed out the fact that following Steve Yeun’s exit fromThunderbolts, the majority of actors inThunderboltsare Caucasian and there. It was to be noted that Yeun was the only minority that left the project and he was replaced by Lewis Pullman.
TONIGHT on THE INSNEIDER: I’m a big believer in hiring the best actor for the role & I get that 5 of these 6 actors were already in the MCU, but why is the cast of THUNDERBOLTS shaping up to be so damn WHITE after replacing Steven Yeun with Lewis Pullman?https://t.co/06Tt9woUHSpic.twitter.com/42UKtxBnsv
We will have to wait and see whether Marvel will have more cast members from different ethnicities for representation in the upcoming film, as it seems unlikely at the moment.

Joss Whedon Was Pretty Baffled By Marvel’s Strict Mandate For Nick Fury InThe Avengers
Marvel Studios demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the integrity of its major characters, particularly Nick Fury inThe Avengers, according to director Joss Whedon. Whedon revealed that the studio enforced a strict policy of zero tolerance for any alterations to Nick Fury’s background. In a discussion withYahoo, Whedon shared behind-the-scenes secrets from The Avengers, including breaking a major rule for Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal of Nick Fury.

”Well, he is not going to be talking about his childhood, and you do want to keep a certain mystery. Also — and this is something that I was very pleased that Marvel actually mandated — they were very interested in keeping him, not just in the sort of a mystery of how the organization operates, but a real moral gray area where you really have to decide, “Is Nick Fury the most manipulative guy in the world? Is he a good guy? Is he completely Machiavellian or is it a bit of both?”
“And that was really fun to tweak. I felt that in the other movies, they had been cameos and he had been called upon to come in and be Sam Jackson and bluster a little bit. And I told Sam upfront that my big agenda was to see the weight on someone who is supposed to be in control of the most powerful beings on the planet. The weight on somebody who has to run the organization and the gravity of it. Not that we don’t have any fun with Nick, but he definitely — it’s, I feel like a much more textured performance and at times really moving.”
Joss Whedon emphasized that he faced a strict rule during the filming ofThe Avengers– he couldn’t make any major changes to Nick Fury’s background. Whedon found this restriction pretty baffling to say the least, highlighting the studio’s adamant stance on preserving the character’s established background without alterations.
