The Marvel Cinematic Universe might just be planning the ultimate Heartstopper reunion! Rumor has it that Kit Connor, one-half of Netflix’s Heartstopper duo, could be stepping into the MCU alongside Joe Locke.
The reason? There are rumors that Marvel Studios is reportedly eyeing Kit Connor for the role of Hulkling. This speculation comes on the heels of Joe Locke’s confirmed role in the upcoming Disney Plus series “Agatha All Along.” Fans are theorizing that Locke’s character could be Billy Kaplan, the son of Scarlet Witch. Notably, Hulkling’s character is romantically linked to Wiccan, making this a significant step for LGBTQ+ representation in Marvel Comics.

These rumors have sparked possibilities of an on-screen reunion for the Heartstopper stars, potentially bringing their chemistry to one of Marvel’s most beloved gay couples. Currently, the studio seems to be focusing on the Hulks and the Young Avengers project, so the introduction of Hulkling seems possible. Meanwhile, Locke’s involvement in Marvel is already a reality. Can you imagine the possibilities?
But take this with a grain of stal, as these are just rumors and neither of the actors nor Marvel have confirmed the speculations. One thing’s clear, though: with Heartstopper’s massive fanbase, this could open up the Marvel universe to even more viewers, ready to follow their favorite stars into superhero territory.
