With the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever-expanding, it seems like a new face is joining the fray every day. And for fans of the popular Netflix series Heartstopper, this news is especially exciting: Joe Locke, who plays the lovable Charlie Spring, is gearing up to make his MCU debut. But for Locke, it seems that he's not content to simply dip his toes into the Marvel waters – he wants to dive in headfirst.
In an exclusive interview, Locke opened up about his hopes for his future within the Marvel universe, specifically with regards to his role as Teen. When asked if he'd be interested in reprising the part, Locke's response was unequivocal: he'd be back in a heartbeat.
While this is certainly music to the ears of Locke's fans, it also raises the question: what does this mean for the future of Marvel? With Locke expressing his desire to return as Teen, could this be the start of a larger, more significant role within the MCU? Fans of the actor and the Marvel universe alike will be waiting with bated breath to find out.
Marvel has a long history of launching stars, from Chris Evans to Tom Hiddleston, and it seems like Locke might be the next big thing. Locke's dedication and passion have won over fans worldwide, and if his performance as Teen in the upcoming MCU production is anything to go by, this is merely the tip of the iceberg.
As fans eagerly await the release of the as-yet-untitled production featuring Locke, whispers of his future within the universe are starting to spread. Is this a sign of bigger things to come for Locke, or simply the start of a beautiful friendship between the actor and the MCU? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: we're all excited to find out.
At just 19 years old, Locke has already proven himself to be a formidable force on screen, with Heartstopper showcasing his range as a young actor. Given this, it's hardly surprising that the MCU has come knocking on his door. If anyone can hold their own in the vast and often unpredictable Marvel universe, it's certainly Locke.
