Calm your tits.
Agreed > WME is arguably the leading global talent agency > where stars are signed by referral only and being represented by them opens tons of doors to getting auditions and being signed for major films >
NOT my opinion, actual fact if you bother to research this agency and the list of major stars it represents!

Congrats to Kit!

I see Marvel on Kit's horizon...

Agreed! WME no doubt sees that same potential for Kit! He has strong global youth audience appeal which will only be growing stronger with S2 & 3 of Heartstopper > he can definitely act, and has the looks, charm and future physique for an MCU role!

And as an actor who wants to undertake a wide variety of roles, any agent will tell you that box-office appeal in major flicks with youth audience appeal definitely opens up future serious dramatic acting parts since movies and streaming flicks & series are always bottom-line profit driven, especially when casting actors in key roles in movies, whether big-budget or small flicks!
 
He would, but the problem is that role would be so similar to the one in Heartbreakers, he might not want to get typecast in that part.
I wasn't aware his character in (that show I won't name so as not to rile up triggerhappy mods...) was a superhero? :p

Seriously I don't think anyone who gets into the MCU is going to worry about being "typecast" unless they're from another well-known comicbooks franchise, etc.

Hmm, I dunno. Hulkling is a Kree-Skrull hybrid from Tarnax IV and will be in fantastical situations. Plus he's gay. Think it's pretty different from the other roles.

Think the other poster meant how Hulkling is much sweeter on the inside than his initial appearance may suggest. Kit's role in heartstopper is sweetness to the max.

Plus Kit has played Elton John (gay icon) and Nick Nelson (bi), the latter of which gained him a huge LGBTQ+ following, so casting him as another gay character isn't exactly unimaginable.

As for the kree-skrull hybrid part... the Skrulls introduced so far have been prosthetics (though I imagine Hulkling will lean more CGI), and if Marvel can do Thanos then I'm sure Hulkling will be fine.

Did you forget the actual Hulk? Especially the current "Smart Hulk" Hulk/Banner hybrid they got going on :D
 
It would be ridiculously easy to cast Kit as Hulkling, or Joe as Wiccan for that matter. Alice Oseman even drew a picture of her characters cosplaying as Teddy and Billy. There's a whole fanbase who's pushing for that casting, so much so that I think it would be too obvious on Marvel's part, kinda like Katee Sackoff as Captain Marvel.
Of course they did go for the obvious choice with Reed Richards, so who knows. But the chatacter will probably be recast for F4.

Ahh, yeah I suppose so, that makes sense. Damn me being so literal :joy:

It is a bit of fan casting, but I don't think Joe would be as fitting for Wiccan as much as Kit would for Hulkling. Not sure who I would have playing Wiccan to be honest.

Reed Richards was a bit of fan service, be interesting to see if they do bring John Krasinski back for the role. I guess we will see very soon.
