AVENGERS 5 And AVENGERS: SECRET WARS Get A Rumored Release Update Amid MCU's Ongoing Creative Overhaul

@ObserverIO - I'd welcome that

@SonOfAGif - Exactly, and if Iron Heart is the MCU version of Iron Lad, maybe she can be the Kang variant instead. Kang is literally baked into the Young Avengers lore.

@SonOfAGif - 5 females and one poor hen-pecked guy. Yeah that will go over well.

I would drop Iron Heart and America Chavez and add Wanda's two kids. Yes I know they faded on 616 but if I can think of a good way to do it then surely the writers can come up with 4 or 5.

@SonOfAGif - The Avengers replaced the Asgardians, Who replaces these kids ? The Tunderbots ? The Avengers roster is pretty much wiped out and what's left couldn't do much better than a YA group.

@Apophis71 - You might be right on Skaar, especially if they go past a party of 6 or if Speed is benched at the beginning. Having checked out Wiccan & Speed a bit the latter is not unrealistic at all.

Hmmmm. That leaves a guy slot open and the more I think about it young T'Challa does a lot of positive things. It shuts up the RECAST NOW ! folks. Doesn't overpower anything and adds some Wakanda folks in as senior management. (If you think the Wakanda Guard doesn't show up in quantity for the kid you are nuts) That also may provide some tech and financial support. What do you think ?

@JDL - With young T'Challa realy depends how soon it will happen but if old enough then can completely see it.

As I say Chavezs powerset doesn't make much sense at first and could be tougher to explain how they know about her and contact her. I think they will first want to do her story with Wong or Strange finding out the truth of her origins before they would consider her on Young Avengers unless a narrative reason they need someone able to jump between alternate timelines.

The original team had Iron Lad so they COULD use Riri but as it was realy Kang prefer they stuck with that tbh, sets them up with a narrative reason to have a supporting team role in Secret War at which point Iron Lad could switch to ally in order to help them and the main Avengers take down an evolved Beyonder form of a Kang Variant.

Patriot was on the first team and as they introduced Eli and his Grandad seems sensible they go there with that, if they do the whole not realy got his powers from Isaiah and using a dodgy temp serum instead unsure however and don't realy mind either way.

An actual Hulkling wouldn't be impossible to do something close to that after Secret Invasion but feel more likely they will use Skaar.

Speed joined later and unclear when they will intro the teen version of him yet as was supposed to be coming in Visions show. Wiccan is in Agatha and if they are planning on Young Avengers using that to complete his intro in the absence of Wanda (for now) then that is a sound reason for that show to have gone ahead.

Then of course we already know from the End credit they are going with Stature and Kate Bishop in all likelihood.

So for now, until White Vision returns, they could use Clint and his Wife as the Fury & Maria Hill for the team and have the initial lineup being Patriot, Skaar, Wiccan, Kate Bishop, Cassie, with Ms. Marvel as a starting point who could face off against Iron Lad instead of him ever doing the fakeout stuff as way too easy to spoil that. They could then go get the assistance of Iron Heart to help to counter his armor if they fail on first encounters, I am just unsure if Riri would become an actual member but it is possible.

Once we've had Vision Quest where Speed was rumoured to return in then you can add those two to the mix, as I say Toussaint/T'Challa will likely join too if at a point where old enough to make sense.

They will also likely have any other younger characters appear at points if the narrative dictates such as Heimdall's Son who can remote communicate and/or teleport them when a narrative need but likely won't join full term, same with maybe an encounter with Kid Loki at some point which could be an antagonist or temp ally narratively speaking. I'm assuming at first, if pre-Secret War, it will be a show not a film then they can have a role in that.

Next Saga should be primarily Xmen/mutant centric, plus the Fantastic Four, but the Young Avengers could be promoted to a film at some point during that by which time they will all be adults anyway but I don't think they should rush towards that at all when ample full adults to form an older Avengers team with if keeping going with having big screen teamups with any of those so keeping them just for D+ for a decent length of time makes more sense to me until there is a REALY good reason to switch to films IMO as you would tend to want a slower build towards being able to take on film level main Avengers type villains.

@Gambito -
I imagine most the slate is dependent on Deadpool 3 performing well. That coupled with the performance tracking indicators for the 2025 films.

Most likely we are going to see delays to projects:
2025 - Captain America 4 (May), Fantastic Four (July), Thunderbolts (Nov)
2026 - Blade (Feb), Spider-man 4 (July), Armour Wars (Nov)
2027 - Avengers 5 (May), Shang Chi 2 (July), Doctor Strange 3 (Nov)
2028 - X-Force (Feb), Avengers Secret Wars (May), Avengers Forever (Nov)

@IAmAHoot - the age of ultron suit is underrated

@IAmAHoot - Is that actually Chris Evans doing the flip or his stunt double? I can’t tell.

@Vigor - for some reason I missed the word suit.... must've still been asleep

@Vigor -

@TheMetaMan - I was wondering the same thing. I mean, I was pretty sure it would have to be a stable but in that gif, he looks just like Evans. Then again that’s what’s supposed to happen.

@Scarilian - I am invested and I do care, so I'm already with them. You got more work cut out for you than I do.

@ChrisRed - recast? may i remind you Jonathnan Majors waz kang and shieeeeet

@Malatrova15 - go away with your 15th account. Yes, we all know.

@Malatrova15 - what why?

@Malatrova15 - well, you asked me, I just made a statement?

@vectorsigma - 😃😃😁😆😂😅 So true.
