Steven Yeun Is Being Eyed ForSpider-Man 4Villain
In an exclusive post fromGiant Freakin Robot, the outlet claimed their trusted source learned that “Sony and Marvel are eyeing Steven Yeun for the role of Mister Negative in Spider-Man-4.” While the character has not yet appeared in movies, he has debuted on the small screen and in video game series.
Our source confirmed that both Marvel boss Kevin Feige and the team at Sony think that Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead fame would be a great fit for the role.
IfSteven Yeunwould accept the role, it would be a big shoe to fill for him. The actor has shockingly dropped out of Marvel’sThunderboltsrevealing the SAG-AFTRA strike had a huge impact on his decision. The actor mentioned that “time passing and things shifting” sort of pulled him out from wanting to dive into the project.
Still, he declared viaVarietythat he wanted to do a Marvel film. “I have some ideas, but I heard if you put it out there, you’ll never get it, so I’ll keep it close to my chest,” he quipped. When asked what Marvel movie he would like to tackle in the future, he refused to name any given how many people were disappointed with his departure.

Fans Campaign For Stephen Oyoung To Play Mister Negative
Speaking withGame Rant, actor Stephen Oyoung talked about lending his voice to Mister Negative in the console gameMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
I get called Mister Negative a lot more now! Spider-Man is one of the biggest franchises in the world, so to have my likeness used and later be recognized for it, I’m just so grateful that Bryan Intihar and Jacinda Chew made that choice. Everyone knows this game and this franchise.
Indeed, his resemblance with the character’s appearance has prompted fans to campaign for the actor to star as the villain in the upcoming fourth installment ofSpider-Man. Check out their thoughts below:
Can we please just go with@MrStephenOyoung! The man made the role, is a martial artist and a helluva actor!! Give the man his well deserved break!
Or get Steven Oyoung. He was already perfect as the character in the games
Jus do the guy from the game he’s perfect
i mean,i didn’t mind to see him as sentry but if he’ll play mr negative then alr then,if not cast stephen o’young from the playstation spider man games
Why don’t they just get the guy who played him in the game?
Since theJohn Wickstar has already experienced playing the character and also shares the same look, he might as well be considered for the role apart from Steven Yeun.
