Avengers: Noah Jupe takes on a secret role in Secret Wars
His character is said to be central to the plot of the new Marvel movie
Exciting new addition to "Avengers: Secret Wars"! Noah Jupe is set to take on a role in the new Marvel blockbuster. The identity of the character has been kept under wraps so far. However, Jupe's role is said to be central to the film's story, as reported by Deadline. The website claims to have learned of the casting news from unnamed sources. Marvel has not yet commented on the matter.
Noah Jupe already has an impressive filmography. Among other roles, the 21-year-old made a name for himself as a teenager in the family drama "Wonder" alongside Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. Shortly thereafter, he appeared in the highly acclaimed horror hit "A Quiet Place" alongside Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Over the following years, he starred in numerous other films, including the racing drama "Ford v Ferrari," in which he once again starred alongside top-tier Hollywood stars like Matt Damon and Christian Bale. Most recently, he appeared in the Shakespeare biopic "Hamnet" alongside Oscar winner Jessie Buckley, as well as in the drama "The Death of Robin Hood," in which he stars alongside Hugh Jackman.
Rumors of a Hawkeye comeback
It will be interesting to see what role he's slated for in "Avengers: Secret Wars." However, Jupe's casting likely won't be the only surprise. There might also be a comeback or two from other actors. Just recently, a rumor surfaced that Jeremy Renner is set to return as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, in "Avengers: Secret Wars." At least that's what insider Daniel Richtman claimed. As of now, however, the popular archer's return has not been confirmed, so this news should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner has helped fuel rumors of a possible return to the big screen. In an Instagram Story, the actor posted a photo of the Marvel hero's costume – which, of course, has sparked speculation.
Over the years, Renner has appeared in various films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including several "Avengers" installments. He also portrayed Hawkeye about five years ago in the Disney+ series "Hawkeye." A second season never materialized. Fans would likely be all the more thrilled about a big-screen comeback. If it does indeed happen, however, we'll have to be patient for a while before we see Hawkeye back on the big screen. "Avengers: Secret Wars" hits theaters on December 17, 2027.
Massive star-studded cast in Doomsday
Before that, however, fans can look forward to "Avengers: Doomsday" – and with it, a massive star-studded cast. The cast of the Marvel blockbuster includes: Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Evans.
Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who will also direct "Secret Wars" – and who were responsible for the previous "Avengers" films. With great success: "Infinity War" grossed $2 billion at the global box office in 2018. "Endgame" even surpassed that in 2019 with $2.7 billion. We'll find out soon how the next "Avengers" movie will fare. "Avengers: Doomsday" hits theaters on December 18, 2026.
