Hollywood director Francis Lawrence, who has worked on films such as The Hunger Games and I Am Legend, watched Seo-joon in The Divine Fury. He praised Seo-joon for being a charming actor, and his assistant even called him the “Asian Ryan Gosling”.
As Francis Lawrence is known for walking out of movie theatres if he doesn’t enjoy the film, this is high praise. He’s said to have sat through the entire movie and even discussed the film with The Divine Fury’s director after it ended.

In 2020, The Marvels director Nia DaCosta was spotted fangirling over Park Seo-joon on her Twitter account. This was after she watched Itaewon Class, and she went as far as calling him her “new drama bf”. She has, however, deactivated her Twitter account due to personal reasons earlier this year.
Park Seo-joon’s Hollywood debut
Park Seo-joon has previously expressed interest in making a Hollywood debut after receiving Francis Lawrence’s acknowledgment.
In an interview with XsportsNews, Park Seo-joon said that he doesn’t want to get ahead of himself, but if an opportunity arises, he’d be more than happy to take up the offer.
His agency declined to comment on his casting in The Marvels. However, Korean news outlet Star News reported that Seo-joon will be making his way to the US after he wraps up filming for his upcoming movie, Concrete Utopia.
