According to sources, the South Korean actor appeared in a composite image on the official international poster for 'The Marvels,' alongside lead actors such as Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, and Samuel L. Jackson.
At 34 years old, Park played the role of Captain Marvel's ally and lover, Prince Yan, reportedly appearing on screen for less than three minutes.
Many voiced their disappointment that 'The Marvels,' with a runtime of 105 minutes, only featured him briefly.
"I thought he was one of the main characters. I can't believe his appearance took about the same time as it takes to cook instant noodles."

Park Seo-joon was brilliant, but could have been given more to do/more screen time.
The film would have still been brisk with another 10/15 minutes with Prince Yan and Aladna#Marvel #MCU #CaptainMarvel #MissMarvel #MonicaRambeau pic.twitter.com/jETD9C4FFx
Nevertheless, Park is unfazed by the short screen time, instead focusing on the overall impact of the character he said: "During the filming of those scenes, I tried to concentrate more on conveying the necessary emotions of the character effectively."
"I believe Aladna and Prince Yan are crucial figures to showcase the development of Carol Danvers. Some may consider my role in the film too short, but I believe it plays a significant part in the overall narrative of 'The Marvels,'" he said.
