Movie insider Daniel Richtman took toX, formerly Twitter, and shared an update about theHulk familyin the MCU. According to him, Logan Kim has been cast as Amadeus Cho, the seventh smartest person on Earth. His film credits includeGhostbusters: AfterlifeandFrozen Empire. However, he didn’t mention when Kim would make his Marvel debut and in what project. There are several MCU projects, both TV shows and movies, in the pipeline, includingThe Fantastic Four: First Steps,Thunderbolts*,Daredevil: Born Again, andMarvel Zombies.Additionally, there are two moreAvengersmovies coming:Avengers: Doomsday(2026) andAvengers: 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 seriesYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,previously confirmed that Pearl Pangan and Cho would appear in the show. However, this could be a voiceover role and not a live-action one.
The announcement about Kim’s casting as Cho received mixed responses from fans. However, many agreed that he was a great choice for the role. “Totally Awesome Hulk,” onecommentedon the report with a fire emoji. Another usersaidKim “is good for the role,” but he was doubtful about the report due to the lack of proof. Cho hasn’t appeared in any MCU project yet, but his connections to Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, is a known storyline in Marvel Comics. He could be introduced as one of the younger superheroes. Cho is popular for his intelligence and skill set. 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 descent is aligned with the character’s heritage. Plus, Kim is at an ideal age for the role. He has the energy to bring the character genuinely on screen. Kim’s natural comedic talent, which fans witnessed inGhostbusters: Afterlife, only shows he can bring the right balance of lightheartedness to the character. His charm and charisma will also make Cho relatable to the viewers. Since he is young, he can potentially have long-term growth in the MCU.
