Noah Jupe is joining ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’
His role is a mystery for now.
Filming should start later this year.

While all eyes are on the next two Marvel releases –– that would be next month’s ‘VisionQuest’ on Disney+ and particularly ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ in theaters this December –– we now have, via Deadline, a report that Noah Jupe (‘A Quiet Place’) has been hired for a mysterious role in 2027’s ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’

Naturally, Disney and Marvel have yet to confirm whether he’s actually in the movie, beyond even who he’s playing, but there is already speculation (see below).

The movie, which sees ‘Doomsday’ duo Joe and Anthony Russo once again directing, is gearing up for production before the year is out.

So, who might Noah Jupe be playing in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’?

While his official character is a mystery for now, that hasn’t stopped online sleuths speculating that he could be the older version of Franklin Richards (AKA Sue Storm and Reed Richards’ cosmic-level powered offspring who was first seen in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps.’

There’s also chatter about him potentially playing Bobby Drake/Iceman, who would be part of the X-Men lineup.
