Ma Dong-seok marked his Hollywood debut with a bang, starring alongside a cast of stars including the likes of Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Kumail Nanjiani in Marvel's Eternals.

During an online press conference on Oct 22, Ma shared how he landed the role despite having no work experience in Hollywood. "About six years ago, after Train To Busan became well-known abroad, I began receiving a lot of offers from Hollywood," he explained.
