Noah Jupe (“Hamnet”) has joined Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Secret Wars” in a currently undisclosed role, according to Deadline. The casting is notable because Jupe is expected to have a key part in the story. Marvel itself has not commented on the casting.
The movie is already shaping up to have an enormous ensemble, and Jupe’s addition adds another intriguing young actor to the mix without revealing where he fits into the MCU. There’s going to be a ton of obsessive fan speculation in the months to come.
Anthony and Joe Russo are directing “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 17, 2027, with production expected to begin later this September — do they even have a script? Before that, we have “Avengers: Doomsday” coming out on December 18, 2026.
