In 2021, Allen was cast as Romeo in Rosaline, a modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet co-starring Kaitlyn Dever and Isabela Merced,[5] and in The Greatest Beer Run Ever co-starring Zac Efron and Russell Crowe.[6] On January 28, 2022, Allen was cast as He-Man in the Netflix live-action film reboot of Masters of the Universe,[7] before it was canceled.[8] In October 2022, Allen was announced to star in A Haunting in Venice, the third instalment of Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot adaptations.[9]
