Noah Jupe is joining Avengers: Secret Wars. According to Deadline, the British actor has been cast in a key but undisclosed role in Marvel's upcoming ensemble. Marvel had no comment on the casting.
The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who helmed Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, with Kevin Feige producing. It is the direct follow-up to Avengers: Doomsday and is scheduled to open December 17, 2027. Production is expected to begin later in 2026. The already-announced cast includes Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Channing Tatum, Simu Liu, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Tom Hiddleston.
Jupe has spent recent years building a career in prestige and literary material. He starred in the title role of Hamnet, appeared across the A Quiet Place franchise, and drew notice for Honey Boy, The Night Manager, and The Undoing. Earlier this year he shared a London West End stage with Sadie Sink in Romeo and Juliet. Sink joined the MCU in July as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Marvel's decision to hold the character's identity amplifies the story rather than dampening it. Online speculation has centered on Franklin Richards and X-Men adjacencies, though nothing has been confirmed.
