t may be late in the game, but
Fresh Off the Boat star
Randall Park has joined the cast of James Wan’s
AQUAMAN, the director announced Thursday on Twitter.
That means that Park will appear in a DC movie and a Marvel movie in the same year, since as the Tracking Board
first reported, he’s also set to appear in
Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Park will play Dr. Shin in
Aquaman, which stars Jason Momoa as the titular superhero, who was last seen saving the world in
Justice League. The comic book movie is currently undergoing pickups, and Park is joining an already-stacked cast that includes Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Oscar winner Dolph Lundgren. I mean, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman… though Ivan Drago is in the movie too.
Ant-Man and the Wasp will fly into theaters on July 6, while
Aquaman will make a splash at the box office on Dec. 21. Park also re-teams with his frequent co-star Seth Rogen in the comedy
Flarsky, and he’s also set to star alongside Ali Wong in an untitled Netflix comedy that the two of them co-wrote with Michael Golamco.
