The Wrap doesn’t know who Hardy will be playing the film but did describe it as “a key, as-yet-undisclosed role.” At one time, Hardy was rumored to be in the running for a young Cyclops, but that part eventually went to Tye Sheridan (“Mud”).

24-year-old British actor is best known for playing Peter Beale in the long-running BBC soap opera EastEnders.
