Who Will Be in the Mcu’s Young Avengers?

After an exhaustive wait, the MCU finally gave official confirmation of the Young Avengers with a teasing scene tucked into the end of The Marvels.

The youthful team is a go, meaning the hordes of Young Avengers fans are years, at most, away from an official Young Avengers offering. We don’t know if it will come in film or television form just yet, nor do we know whether it will exclusively follow the team, or if they will instead enjoy a background role in a separate release. There are a lot of question marks currently surrounding almost every aspect of the project, from what form it will take to who will make up the new team. A few people are all but guaranteed, but questions surround several others are throwing the entire lineup into doubt.

The MCU’s Young Avengers lineup

The MCU has introduced almost every original member of the Young Avengers in some capacity, so it seems likely a familiar lineup will debut with the MCU Young Avengers project. The MCU future of at least one member of the OG team recently came into question, however, leading some fans to believe we’ll be seeing a major shake-up. Add the addition of Kamala Khan — a member of the Champions, rather than the Young Avengers, in Marvel comics — and we’re certain to see a fairly different team make the transition from comics to live-action.

Kate Bishop

Kate is a guaranteed member of the Young Avengers, based on that enticing The Marvels scene. In the final moments of the MCU release, Kamala Khan — using tech “borrowed” from S.A.B.E.R. — tracks down Kate and invites her to join a new team of youthful superheroes.

In Marvel comics, Kate eventually serves as one of the primary leaders of the Young Avengers. Considering Kate’s canon age in the MCU — which places her as a young adult, rather than a teen — she’s likely to once again secure this position, as likely the oldest member of the group. Taking on the title of Hawkeye, Kate boasts no actual superpowers, but has plenty of skill when it comes to marksmanship.
