Noah Jupe is the latest actor to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the “Hamnet” and “A Quiet Place” star tapped to play a top-secret role in “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
The superhero team-up movie, directed by Anthony
and Joe Russo and produced by Marvel chief Kevin Feige, is the follow-up to “Avengers: Doomsday.” That movie doesn’t debut until December 18, but production on “Secret Wars” is set to begin later this year, kicking casting rumors into high gear. Disney has slated the film for release on Dec. 17, 2027.
Marvel had no comment on Jupe’s casting.
As a child actor, Jupe garnered attention for his standout turns in the TV series “The Night Manager” and “The Undoing,” before breaking out on the big screen with “Honey Boy” (for which he earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination) and the “Quiet Place” movies. The British actor recently appeared in Chloe Zhao’s Oscar-nominated film “Hamnet” alongside Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, as well as his younger brother, Jacobi Jupe.
“Secret Wars” will likely reunite Jupe with his most recent co-star, Sadie Sink, who played the Juliet to his Romeo in a production of Shakespeare’s classic on London’s West End. Sink made her MCU debut as the mutant Jean Grey in July’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and will reprise her role in the forthcoming “X-Men” movie from Jake Schreier.
Deadline first reported Jupe’s involvement. He is repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
