According to reports on Starnews Korea, the actor has been cast in an unknown role for the sequel titled 'The Marvels'.
He is expected to join the rest of the cast in the United States to begin filming in the second half of 2021.
Seo-Joon's role in this film is said to be 'huge' for the South Korean star as it marks his big debut into American mainstream cinema.
He is known for his roles in romantic comedies 'What's Wrong With Secretary Kim', 'She Was Pretty' and 'Itaewon Class'.
