KEY POINT
Noah Jupe has been cast in Avengers: Secret Wars, but Marvel has not disclosed his character.
The film is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige.
Secret Wars is expected to follow Avengers: Doomsday, with its story details still largely under wraps.
Jupe joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe after building a varied acting career across television and film. His early credits include The Night Manager and The Undoing, while Honey Boy earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
The actor became particularly recognizable through the A Quiet Place franchise before appearing in Chloé Zhao’s Oscar-winning Hamnet. In that film, Jupe worked alongside Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, as well as his younger brother, Jacobi Jupe.
His Marvel casting also creates a connection with Sadie Sink, who recently appeared alongside Jupe in a London West End production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Sink has since entered the MCU as Jean Grey and is set to return in the upcoming X-Men film directed by Jake Schreier.
Avengers: Secret Wars will follow Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for release on Dec. 18. Doomsday brings together characters connected to the Avengers, Fantastic Four and Fox’s original X-Men films against Victor Von Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
The announced cast includes 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.
Marvel has revealed comparatively little about Secret Wars, although the movie is described as larger in scale than Doomsday. The comic storyline associated with the title centers on Battleworld, a setting formed by combining different worlds and bringing heroes and variants together.
Production is scheduled to begin later this year, with the film currently set for release on Dec. 17, 2027. Deadline was first to report Jupe’s casting.
