, and he spoke with Entertainment Weekly about how he got involved in the project.“I was shooting a project in London, and I got a request to audition and make a tape for ‘Untitled Marvel Project,’” Will Poulter said. “My friend Ethan recorded me for it. I didn’t know what it was and thought that there was no chance that I would hear anything back. Then, I heard something back.
