Sandra Hüller has joined the all-star cast of Avengers: Doomsday in a cameo role, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which has confirmed her involvement in the Marvel film. The German actress, who earned an Oscar nomination for Anatomy of a Fall, becomes one of the notable names in a movie that already has a long list of returning faces. Marvel has not commented on the casting.

Rumors about the film have circulated since Hüller’s name surfaced on the British Stunt Register a couple of weeks ago. The Hollywood Reporter has now confirmed her involvement, while Marvel has not weighed in. Much of the picture remains under wraps, and her character is the most closely guarded piece of it.

Is Sandra Hüller really part of Avengers: Doomsday?

Yes, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which says it has confirmed the actress’s involvement. The outlet describes the part as a cameo, a term that generally points to a brief appearance, but it does not put a number on her screen time or say what the role is. Marvel had no comment on the report, so the studio has not publicly spoken about her casting.

Much of the plot is still hidden in the eastern European nation of Latveria. What is known is that heroes from different timelines team up to fight the universe-shattering peril of Doctor Doom, a sorcerer scientist.

The film is deep in post-production and heads toward a December 18 opening. Anthony and Joe Russo are directing.

Robert Downey Jr. stars as Doom, and his return to the Marvel movies is one of the headline draws for fans. Chris Evans is also back, playing Steve Rogers. Evans appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine as Johnny Storm. The cast draws on several recent Marvel titles, including Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four: First Steps and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, along with the Thor movies and the classic X-Men films.

Because Hüller’s part is being kept secret, rumors have filled the gap. The rumor mill has her potentially playing Doom’s mother, a witch, or a member of a select group of hooded enchantresses known as the Latverian Witches. None of those roles has been confirmed. Marvel displayed color-coded Latverian robes at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Hüller is repped by UTA and gained wide Hollywood attention with starring turns in Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest. This year she appeared in Project Hail Mary, where she plays the person who recruits Ryan Gosling to save the planet. She also memorably sings Harry Styles’ ‘Sign of the Times’ in a karaoke sequence, a song she pushed for.

Her most recent screen role was as Tom Cruise’s sister in Digger. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Project Hail Mary was a hit in the spring, which makes this a big year for the actress.

The core facts are simple. Hüller is in the cast, her role is a secret, and the film is heading toward its December opening. Until Marvel says more, the size of the cameo and the character she plays remain unknown.
