Marvel Studios has officially tapped Noah Jupe for a prominent top-secret role in Avengers: Secret Wars.

The British actor, who is best known for his roles in A Quiet Place, Honey Boy, and his breakout performance in the Oscar-winning drama Hambet, is reportedly the first new major cast addition reported specifically for the 2027 climax of the multiversal film.

While production is slated to begin under directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Marvel and Kevin Feige are keeping Jupe's exact character identity completely under wraps.

However, industry reports seem to claim that his undisclosed character is expected to serve as a pivotal key to what Secret Wars is about to unfold, and his potential roles fall between two categories that would make or break the multiverse once and for all.

With Jupe's role being rumored as a major part of the overarching story, the Marvel fandom has immediately jumped into heavy speculation as to which role he may be playing on the big screen soon enough.

While the roles of Molecule Man/Owen Reece or The Beyonder have come up as potential roles, those being key cosmic entities that were born from Doctor Doom's creation of Battleworld, fans are more than convinced that Jupe's role lies beyond being on the big bad's side.

Instead of being Doom's creations, fans believe that Noah Jupe is being built for a bigger purpose and that falls into two potential roles: as the grown-up Franklin Richards, aka Reed Richards' son, whose reality-warping abilities could help reconstruct or save the multiverse, or as the grown-up Iron Lad, the heroic young variant that Tony Stark met in Iron Man 3 or a Tony Stark variant altogether.

Either way, fans will have to wait until Avengers: Secret Wars premieres on the big screens on December 17, 2027. Stay tuned!
