Movie insider Daniel Richtman took to X, formerly Twitter, to share an update on the Hulk family in the MCU. According to him, Logan Kim was cast as Amadeus Cho, the seventh smartest person on Earth. His film credits include Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire. However, he did not mention when Kim will debut at Marvel or in which project. There are several MCU projects in the works, including TV shows and movies Fantastic Four: First Steps, thunderbolts*, Daredevil: Born Againand Marvel Zombies. Plus there are two more Avengers movies are coming: Avengers: Judgment Day (2026) a Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). As Cho, Kim could appear in any of the aforementioned projects. However, Jeff Trammell, executive producer and writer of the animated series Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, previously confirmed that Pearl Pangan and Cho will appear in the show. However, it could be a spoken role and not a live one.
The announcement of Kim's casting as Cho was met with mixed reactions from fans. However, many agreed that he was a great choice for the role. “Totally Awesome Hulk,” commented one with a fire emoji. Another user said Kim “is good for the role” but doubted the report due to a lack of evidence. Cho hasn't appeared in any MCU projects yet, but his connection to Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, is a well-known storyline in Marvel Comics. He could be introduced as one of the younger superheroes. Cho is popular for his intelligence and abilities. He also excelled in his leadership skills, so he could lead his own series or movie.
Kim is perfect to play this character because Cho is a young and cool teenager in the comics. Cho is also a Korean-American character in Marvel Comics, so Kim's Korean ancestry is consistent with the character's heritage. Plus, Kim is the perfect age for the role. He has the energy to really bring the character to the screen. Kim's natural comedic talent that fans have witnessed Ghostbusters: Afterlifeit just shows that he can bring the right balance of levity to the character. With his charm and charisma, Cho will be attractive to the audience. Because he's young, he can potentially have long-term growth in the MCU.
