Lee Jung Jae might be making his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and fans are buzzing with excitement!

The Squid Game star is once again at the center of rumors suggesting he could be joining the MCU. According to Comicbookmovie.com, Lee Jung Jae, who gained international fame for his role in Squid Game Season 2 and appeared in Disney+’s Echo Light, might have a role in an upcoming Marvel project.

The report from Comicbookmovie.com reveals that sources, including Scooper MTTSH, are speculating that Lee Jung Jae could take on a role in the MCU, although it’s still unclear which character he might play. What’s exciting is that Marvel Studios' COO Kevin Feige is known for reaching out to actors without a specific character in mind. This means Lee Jung Jae could potentially pick from a variety of roles—whether a hero or villain.

This isn’t the first time the rumor mill has buzzed about Lee Jung Jae and Marvel. In 2022, reports started circulating that he had been in talks with Marvel Studios for a role. At the time, editor Daniel Richmond posted on social media that Lee Jung Jae was in discussions for a possible MCU role, adding even more fuel to the fire.

If Lee Jung Jae does join the MCU, he would become the fourth Korean actor to do so, following Lee Shi Hun (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Ma Dong Seok (Eternals), and Park Seo Joon (The Marvels). The idea of Lee Jung Jae stepping into the MCU has fans excited, especially after rumors in 2021 suggested he could be a contender for the main villain role in Shang-Chi 2 or possibly portray Mister Negative in the Spider-Man series. However, his agency has yet to comment on the reports.

Currently, Lee Jung Jae is receiving worldwide attention for his return as Seong Gi Hoon in Squid Game Season 2. The series, which dropped on December 26, has been a massive hit, topping Netflix's global charts for over a week. Squid Game Season 2 has earned high praise, and some estimates suggest its success could generate up to 1.5 trillion KRW in revenue, though Netflix has denied that figure.

In the new season, Gi Hoon (Lee Jung Jae) seeks revenge and faces off against Frontman (Lee Byung Hun), with a fresh, intense game beginning. As Lee Jung Jae continues to shine in Squid Game, the possibility of him joining the MCU only adds to his growing appeal in the entertainment world. Fans are eager to see what’s next for the actor!

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
