“It Took Me Longer To Cook Cup Noodles”: Fans Mock Park Seo Joon’s Brief Screen Time In The Marvels.

The 34-year-old Korean actor was on screen for about two minutes 47 seconds.

First, it was his ‘80s curry pok hairstyle.

Now it seems netizens are up in arms over K-drama star Park Seo Joon’s screen time in the movie The Marvels. 

The movie was released yesterday (Nov 9) and moviegoers have pointed out that Seo Joon, who plays Brie Larson’s love interest, Prince Yan, only had under three minutes of screen time, with some calling it a “glorified cameo.”

The movie is 145mins long.

K-news website Koreaboo wrote, “I thought he was one of the lead characters. It took me more than his two minutes and 47 seconds (*margin of error is five seconds) [of screen time] to cook cup noodles.”

Others also came out questioning Marvel Studios’ decision to feature Seo Joon in the main poster and his own poster. “What a shame to fly to the United States only to make a cameo,” said one netizen, which others expressed anger at how the Asian character got relegated in the movie.

Well, technically, Seo Joon played an alien.

However, some diehard fans are coming out in his defense saying Seo Joon was never meant to be the main character in The Marvels and that they are “glad his appearance has already sparked so much discussion.”

Some even went as far as to compare Seo Joon to other Hollywood actors who also had brief screen times in Marvel movies.

Russel Crowe as Zeus in Thor: Love and Thunder and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar in Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania all made brief appearances in those films but unlike their beloved Korean actor received close to no criticism.

The Marvels is now screening in Singapore.
