Er, this was gonna be his first marvel movie, and the reason given is that the delays caused by the strikes has induced a scheduling conflict. Bit of a stretch to say he didn't want to be involved anymore given he never was and that scheduling issues are pretty common.

Sure, I’m not saying that this is the beginning of the end, just sharing my thought experiment and noting how coincidental it is.

Otherwise, getting a bit conspiratorial … isn’t the MCU big enough that an actor would make it work to be in an MCU film? Wouldn’t the MCU have enough pull to handle scheduling conflicts?

Looks like he was going to play "Sentry" and be the villain of the film.

I wonder if the character has been rewritten.

For example it was originally pitched as a one off villain, but now they want it to be a more reoccurring role. Yeun may not be interested in taking on that level of scheduling challenges.

I do agree that it's interesting to look at, but the reasoning here seems plausible.
