The agency of Jennie Kim, a prominent member of the K-pop group Blackpink, has responded to rumors circulating about her potential involvement in a Marvel project. According to initial reports, Kim was speculated to be cast as Luna Snow in an Agents of Atlas series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following her recent recurring role in HBO’s The Idol.
Luna Snow, also known as Seol Hee, is a relatively recent addition to the Marvel universe, having been created through a partnership between Marvel Games and Marvel Comics. While there has been no official confirmation of an Agents of Atlas project from Marvel Studios, rumors of a potential MCU television series focused on the team of super-powered individuals have been circulating for several years. It has been suggested that Randall Park’s Jimmy Woo may lead the series.
Jennie Kim’s speculated casting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been denied.
Following rumors of Jennie Kim’s potential involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, her agency has refuted these claims. Kim, a member of the popular K-pop group Blackpink, was speculated to have been cast in a Marvel Studios Agents of Atlas project, which her agency, YG Entertainment, has explicitly denied.
According to a statement given to Korean news outlet Naver, the agency stated that “Jennie has not been presented with an opportunity to participate in the Marvel series Team Agents of Atlas,” effectively dismissing any claims of Kim’s involvement in the MCU project.
Could the Agents of Atlas potentially be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
The possibility of an Agents of Atlas series from Marvel Studios has long been a topic of discussion and conjecture across various online forums and platforms.
The Agents of Atlas, with Jimmy Woo at the helm in the comics, initially comprised a group of heroes from Atlas Comics, Marvel’s antecedent, in the 1950s. However, the team was reimagined in 2019 to feature a cast of exclusively Asian and Asian American characters, including Shang-Chi, Silk, and Luna Snow (the role that had been linked to Jennie Kim). Given the recent increase in Asian and Asian American representation within the MCU, a collaboration featuring the Agents of Atlas would be a logical step forward.
Reports of a potential Agents of Atlas project within the MCU first emerged in early 2020, but since then, there has been a steady stream of unverified rumors with no official statement from Marvel Studios regarding the matter. However, if the casting is indeed underway, regardless of Jennie Kim’s involvement, it could indicate that the project is indeed in development. As the annual San Diego Comic-Con approaches, it is possible that fans may finally receive confirmation or further details on the potential project.
