The MonsterVerse project marks Kurt's first return to live-action television since appearing in an episode of the original Hawaii Five-0 in 1977.

Wyatt, 36, currently stars in Under the Banner of Heaven opposite Andrew Garfield. He also joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2021, having starred in the TV mini-series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as John Walker/Captain America.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live in March last year, the actor chatted about his MCU role and his knowledge of superheroes (or lack thereof) before joining the Disney+ series.

When asked by Kimmel if he had to pretend to know more about Marvel than he led on to obtain the part, Wyatt revealed, "I did a little."

"They showed me a picture of the guy [I would be playing] and I was like 'Oh, all right!' ... And then they start running me through the stuff ... and then finally, about 15 minutes into the explanation of like why I am who I am, I had to ... go, 'I'm really sorry, I don't know any of this stuff," he explained, adding, "I think you have to start from the beginning.'
