Noah Jupe Joins Avengers: Secret Wars in Mystery Role

Noah Jupe is heading to the MCU. The actor has been cast in Avengers: Secret Wars in what Marvel is calling a key role—though the studio is keeping the specifics locked down tight. But several rumors out there point to the character of Franklin Richards.

Jupe's part is described as significant to the film's story, but Marvel hasn't revealed who he'll be playing or even what corner of the universe his character inhabits. The secrecy is par for the course on a project this size, especially one still in pre-production.

The film is slated to shoot later this year, with a December 2027 release window. That timeline means casting announcements will likely keep rolling through the rest of 2024 and into early 2025—and with each new name, speculation about the shape of this story will only intensify.

For now, Jupe joins a roster that already includes confirmed casting, though Marvel's vault-level approach means most roles remain officially mysterious. What we know is that Secret Wars is positioned as a major event, the kind of story that would justify bringing in talent across the board.
