Two unexpected characters could have major roles in Avengers: Secret Wars<\/strong>, per a new rumor. While the recent report from a well-known entertainment scooper\u2019s claim has yet to receive official confirmation from Marvel Studios, it has already sparked discussion among fans. <\/p>\n According to entertainment scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Paul Bettany and Ruaridh Mollica are both expected to appear in the film in role. On X (formerly Twitter)<\/a>, entertainment scooper MyTimeToShineHello wrote, \u201cPaul Bettany and Ruaridh Mollica will both be in Avengers Secret Wars in main roles.\u201d However, as of now, Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed the involvement of either actor.<\/p>\n Rumors about Bettany\u2019s potential involvement in Avengers: Secret Wars have gained traction in recent months. However, the actor himself has also hinted that a return could be on the cards. During an appearance on Josh Horowitz\u2019s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Bettany was asked directly whether Secret Wars might be part of his future.<\/p>\n \u201cI think so,\u201d he said, before noting that plans within Marvel can change unexpectedly. The actor noted, \u201cAnything going on at Marvel, they change their mind, or you really do never know. It\u2019s true that you never know, by the way.\u201d Bettany also highlighted the level of secrecy surrounding Marvel productions. According to the actor, \u201cwhen we all died [in Avengers: Infinity War], we found out that day.\u201d<\/p>\n Bettany had already sparked discourse among fans earlier in December 2025 when he appeared to reference upcoming Marvel work during The Telegraph<\/a> interview. At the time, he remarked, \u201cI think I\u2019ve got some Avengers duties next year,\u201d a comment that immediately fueled theories.<\/p>\n Marvel\u2019s next major crossover film, Avengers: Doomsday, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026. It will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars, which is currently set for release on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on\u00a0SuperHeroHype<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n The post 2 Most Unexpected Heroes To Return in Avengers: Secret Wars \u2013 Report<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two unexpected characters could have major roles in Avengers: Secret Wars, per a new rumor.
