Marvel Studios' Young Avengers

[CyberpunkCentral]

It's no secret that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to look vastly different in a post-Avengers: Endgame world. If one recent rumor proves to be accurate, it means the MCU will introduce a whole new generation of characters.

According to a report from We Got This Covered, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a script for Young Avengers, a movie that'll feature a plethora of teenage and young adult characters. The rumor states that the team will be made of Kate Bishop's version of Hawkeye, Hulkling, Iron Lad, Patriot, Wiccan, Stature, and Vision — a version some from Paul Bettany's version.

Should that team line-up prove to be accurate, there's a lot to unpack. First and foremost — Stature is a character that has previously been speculated to make an appearance in Avengers: Endgame. With the Avengers presumably traveling through time or experiencing inter-dimensional travel, many fans think that actress Emma Fuhrman will be playing an older version of Cassie Lang, perhaps now going by her superhero mantle of Stature.

Next, the inclusion of Kate Bishop could contradict earlier reports of a potential Hawkeye show on Disney+. If Bishop were to appear in the Hawkeye streaming show, it would seem that she would premiere on the silver screen prior to going to a streaming show, which could complicate Bishop's appearance in Young Avengers.

The Vision part does seem to corroborate the rumored plot of the Vision and Scarlet Witch show that surfaced earlier in the week, hinting that the show would borrow from Tom King and Gabriel Walta's fan-favorite comic maxi-series.

Although much of the future past Avengers: Endgame is still unknown — Spider-Man: Far From Home is the only Phase 4 movie revealed as of yet — Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously told ComicBook.com that the movie studio would love to produce another 20 years of movies.

"All of the things you've seen throughout Phases 1 and 2 and now through much of 3, the new characters always are important going forward in driving, shaping the future of the MCU," Feige told ComicBook.com. "I think it would be amazing, another 10 years, another 20 films or so. We only focus on one step at a time but that's all about continuing to surprise with the stories, go unexpected places, continue to play with new, fresh, unexpected genres and then introduce characters that people might have heard of or a beloved big fan base like Captain Marvel or characters like Guardians where before we made that, which people had never even heard of."

Is a Young Avengers flick something on your want list? What other MCU films are you hoping to see in Phase 4? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Upcoming Marvel Studios films include Captain Marvel on March 8th, Avengers: Endgame on April 26th, and Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5th.

Hulkling, lol.

[CompleteCount]

The name "Iron Lad" never sounds right. Puts me in mind of...

In Feige I trust, but most of that sounds horrible. Hulking?! Iron Lad? Sounds like it's scraping the bottom of the Legion of Super Heroes roster.

[Ernest Rister]

No.

No.

No no no no no no...

What fresh hell is this? Avenger Babies?

[sandman slim]

The comics were pretty good, actually. Can't really see this as a feature film, might be better as a Disney+ series.

[InuYashaCrusade]

Guess this will keep them from making another main Avengers movie for a few years.

[DVD Josh]

I guess the universe (for me anyway) will end with Spiderman Far From Home.

That's why I've always said that no matter what happens after Avengers Endgame, at least we'll have an ending to what was started 10 years ago. If you don't like what comes after then you can pick and choose or drop the MCU all together if you really wanted to.

Doesn't sound great but In Feige We Trust.

[Hellraiserfan]

Other than solo films this one gives me zero excitement. Hulkling alone is a godawful character.

What next Marvel Studios? Power Pack? One of the most annoying comics I've ever read (Had to for some X-men and Thor crossovers). The old school stuff from the 80s. I can't imagine why people like a comic with a bunch of annoying kids who would get owned by most villains regardless of their powers.

I dunno anything about Young Avengers but it looks something like a Marvel version of Teen Titans, is that accurate?

I'll keep an open mind til there's more info. It's just "in development," which is kind of a nebulous term that doesn't really mean much.

It already had an ending:

[Show spoiler]Thanos won.

Actually, The New Mutants is Marvel's Teen Titans.

[Spider-Fan]

Meh. This was never a favorite of mine. I hope this is more like a spin-off of Avengers than a proper Avengers movie. I wouldn't want this to take up a slot that a proper Avengers film should have.

From the reports, which this article fails to mention, this will be like X-Men: First Class in the sense that they are starting off with a young and fresh team. Then they will join up with Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Doctor Stranger to form an even bigger team.

[captveg]

This feels like someone at Marvel recently rewatched the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Rascals.

Can't say I think it will work, but if true they are welcome to prove me wrong.

Meh. Can't say that interests me much. I'll watch it, sure. I watch all the MCU stuff. But I can't say this will be one of my more hyped projects. Especially with the FF, the Surfer, etc. possibly on the horizon. Heck, I have more interest in Black Widow and Eternals. This just was never my book of choice.

[UniSol GR77]

So we will never see the MCU Quicksilver again?

It was a great version, not brilliant like the XCU (X-Men Cinematic Universe) one but still great.

Too bad we will never see Pietro again on a Marvel movie...

If this is a thing and the future of the MCU then I'm crossing my fingers for The Great Lake Avengers to be announced soon.
