A YouTuber has shared his alleged screen time in The Marvels after counting it while watching the movie. The post read as, “(Breaking) Seo Joon Hyung’s total screen time! 2 Minutes 47 Seconds. (*Margin of error is 5 seconds) Source: I counted his screen time myself while watching the movie.”
And as soon as the post went viral, fans started to comment and share their disappointment about the same. In Theqoo, one wrote, “I thought I would watch it if there was some more footage, but I heard there wasn’t much screen time for Park Seo-joon, so I won’t watch it. I haven’t watched any Marvel movies since the Avengers, but I thought I’d force myself to watch Park Seo-joon if he appeared in more movies, but I see no reason to watch them.”

Another one penned, “I thought he would play a more significant role because they were calling him Marvel Guy on Seojin‘s, LOL.” Another fan commented, “They put him on the main poster but he is given screen time fitting for an extra.”
“This puts a bad taste in my mouth. It just pisses me off how they are treating the Asian character,” wrote another fan.
Not only Park Seo Joon’s screen time is getting criticized, but his look from The Marvels also caught netizens’ attention and got mixed reactions.
