In a recent interview, Invincible creator Robert Kirkman discussed the impact of his previous comments regarding Steven Yeun's involvement in Marvel's Thunderbolts, where he let slip that Yeun would play The Sentry. This revelation generated significant excitement among fans, but ultimately, Yeun's role went to another actor. Kirkman humorously reflected on the stress caused by the incident during his appearance at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 while promoting the fighting game Invincible VS. Kirkman mentioned that he knows Yeun's role in the upcoming animated film, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, but refrained from revealing details to avoid another controversy.

What character will Steven Yeun play in The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender?

While Robert Kirkman knows who Steven Yeun portrays in The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, he opted not to disclose this information, fearing a repeat of the Thunderbolts incident where his comments drew unwanted attention.

The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is an animated film set in the beloved universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This film aims to expand upon the rich lore and characters of the original series, introducing both new and existing characters to both old fans and a new generation. With the original creators' involvement, the project has generated significant anticipation among fans of the franchise.
