EW spoke with Park about his return to the MCU and his newfound magic skills.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your reaction when Marvel told you they wanted to bring Jimmy back forWandaVision?
I don’t care what it is."
Marvel Studios
I did not expect anything like this, so I was very thrilled to be a part of it.
But they did it.
It’s just so incredible to watch.
How did they initially pitch this idea to you?
Did they get into the whole sitcom concept?
Jac Schaeffer, the head writer, she broke down the whole show.
I was just like, “How doesthisfit into it?”
So, I assume you had to start practicing your close-up magic.
Yes, I have.
I’ve become a master at that one card trick.
[Laughs]
What character development for Jimmy!
I know, isn’t it?
You know he’s been working hard.
Jimmy makes such a fun pair with Darcy Lewis, played by Kat Dennings.
Tell me a little bit about working with her to investigate this mystery.
She’s the best.
It was so cool.
I literally sat in front of the TV for a good part of my childhood, watching these shows.
I genuinely thought it was a one-off.
It was just such a fun time working with that whole gang.
I didn’t think I was going to come back.
But when I got the call, like I said, it was like, “Yes.
No question, I will be there.”
Is that something you would be open to?
That would be so cool.
They’re so talented and smart and really nice people.
So any chance to work in the Marvel universe again, I’d take it in a heartbeat.
But if it ended here, I’d be very thankful especially being a part of this show.
It is very much a risk.
You’re really counting on the audience to be patient.
