Beef Creator Lee Sung Jin Joins Thunderbolts as New Writer

Speaking to Variety while promoting the release of "Beef," Lee Sung Jin shared that he's looking forward to working with Marvel Studios on "Thunderbolts." Although, it's a bit of a different experience for him. "It's truly an honor to be part of a Marvel thing, but it is very different. One, it's not my project. It's Jake's. It's such a large scope and scale that the type of writing is very different. At the same time, the process feels the same," he said, referring to director Jake Schreier as the true driving force behind "Thunderbolts."

Coincidentally, "Thunderbolts" will reunite Lee Sung Jin with some of his "Beef" collaborators. In addition to Schreier, who sat in the director's chair for the show, Steven Yeun — the actor behind Danny Cho on "Beef" — will appear in "Thunderbolts." "I think once you find the squad of people you love and trust and are so talented, you do everything you can to keep working with them," he added. Lee Sung Jin notes that he's in the process of rewriting the film and that it contains themes and concepts he's eager to explore.

"Thunderbolts" will take the movies by storm on July 26, 2024.
