Katherine Langford has graduated from Liberty High to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
The “13 Reasons Why” actress has joined the cast of the yet-to-be-titled fourth “Avengers” film, according to The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter. While her role is still unknown, she has already shot her scenes for the movie, which wrapped production earlier this month.
The MCU gig is the latest accomplishment in a breakout year for Katherine. After earning a 2018 Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Hannah Baker – a high school student who leaves behind cassette tapes after her death by suicide – in “13 Reasons Why,” the Aussie actress landed a starring role in “Cursed,” a fantasy series currently in the works for Netflix.

A media watchdog group is calling on Netflix to pull its “13 Reasons Why” series because of potentially harmful content.
The Parents Television Council describes the second season of the series as “a ticking time bomb to teens and children.” It wants both seasons yanked.
A request for comment from Netflix wasn’t immediately returned Monday.
The first season of “13 Reasons Why” included a graphic depiction of a teen’s suicide. The second season includes a story line about a student’s thwarted plans to shoot up a school dance.
The conservative council claims 1.4 million members and is dedicated to curbing sex, violence and profanity on TV and in other media. In the past, it has opposed shows such as “Glee,” ”The Mick,” ”Scream Queens” and “The Real O’Neals.”
While Katherine has yet to confirm reports of her “Avengers” role, her former boss – “13RW” executive producer Mandy Teefey – applauded her achievement on Instagram.
“Congrats!! Also Congrats to WME and Brillstein!!! Work that Marvel Franchise girl!!! Well deserved!!! XO,” she wrote alongside a screenshot of the news.
“Avengers 4” is scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2019.
