Another actor is joining the Marvel family, according to an insider. He will reportedly play one of the Hulks in the MCU.

Several actors have played the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), including Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo, to name a few. Ruffalo portrayed the character in several films, including The Avengers (2012)Iron Man 3 (2013)Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)Thor: Ragnarök (2017)Avengers: Infinity War (2018)Avengers: Endgame (2019). He also made a cameo in the post-credits scenes of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and starred in the Disney Plus 2022 TV series She-Hulk: Lawyer starring Tatiana Maslany. Another actor will portray a similar character, the Hulk, but not Bruce Banner.


Movie insider Daniel Richtman took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared an update on the Hulk family in the MCU. According to him, Logan Kim has been cast as Amadeus Cho, the seventh smartest person on earth. His film credits include Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Freeze the Empire. However, he did not mention when Kim would make her Marvel debut and in which project. There are several MCU projects, both TV shows and movies, in the works, including The Fantastic Four: First Steps, thunderbolts*, Daredevil: Born Againand Marvel Zombies. In addition, there are two more Avengers movies coming: Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). Kim could appear as Cho in any of the aforementioned projects. However, Jeff Trammell, the executive producer and writer of the animated series Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, previously confirmed that Pearl Pangan and Cho would appear on the show. However, this may be a voiceover role and not a live-action one.


The announcement of Kim's casting as Cho received mixed responses from fans. However, many agreed that he was an excellent choice for the role. “Totally Awesome Hulk,” one commented on the report with a fire emoji. Another user said Kim “is good for the role,” but he was skeptical of the report due to the lack of evidence. Cho hasn't appeared in any MCU projects yet, but his connections to Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, are a well-known storyline in Marvel Comics. He could be introduced as one of the younger superheroes. Cho is popular for his intelligence and skill. He also stood out for his leadership skills, so he could lead his own series or movie.


Kim is perfect to play the character because Cho is a young and brilliant teenager in the comics. Cho is also a Korean-American character in Marvel Comics, so Kim's Korean ancestry is in line with the character's heritage. Also, Kim is an ideal age for the role. He has the energy to give the character genuine on screen. Kim's natural comedic talent, as fans witnessed Ghostbusters: Afterlifejust shows that he can give the character the right balance of levity. His charm and charisma will also make Cho relatable to viewers. Since he's young, he could potentially have long-term growth in the MCU.
