The YOUNG AVENGERS Will Assemble Again In 2025; Will The Comic's Line-Up Reflect The MCU Team?

It's been over a decade since the Young Avengers assembled on the page, but Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski has revealed that an all-new team will come together next year...

It's been quite a while - over a decade, in fact - since Marvel Comics published a Young Avengers series, but that changes next year.

Speaking to a crowd at Osaka Comic Con (via ThePopverse.com), Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski revealed that an all-new team of teenage heroes will assemble in 2025.

“I can break some special news here,” Cebulski teased. “The Young Avengers will be reuniting in 2025 in Marvel Comics. There have been two Young Avengers teams, but now we’re deciding which characters for natural story reasons are going to join the new Young Avengers team. Kate-Hawkeye, Patriot, Hulkling, Wiccan… who is going to join? You’ll see [in] 2025!”

Though we don't have much more to go on at the moment, there's a good chance this new comic book roster will be informed (or inform) the team of Young Avengers that's currently being brought together in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In The Marvels, after helping Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau defeat Dar-Benn and prevent a catastrophic Multiversal event, Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) uses Nick Fury's S.W.O.R.D. tech iPad to track down Hawkeye's Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) and tells her she's putting a team together.

Khan also mentions Ant-Man's daughter, Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), and it's probably safe to assume that Wiccan (Joe Locke), Speed (?) and America Chávez (Xochitl Gomez) will also be a part of the group. Other possibilities include Eli Bradley (Elijah Richardson), and The Hulk's son Skaar, who was briefly introduced in the season finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

According to a recent rumor from The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, the team was "going to be a mixture of YA & Champions," and he believes it's definitely going to be a "hefty line-up because there are a lot of candidates."

Vellani was asked about her "Nick Fury moment" during a recent interview, and she revealed which characters she'd most like to recruit.

"People really love these Young Avengers, but I don’t even know if they actually read those comics—not that they’re bad. The chemistry between Kamala, Miles [Morales], and Sam [Alexander], it’s too good. I would love to see that trio in the MCU. Neither of those characters exist yet in live action, but I’m praying for it. Yeah. I love Sam Alexander. One of their first interactions that they had. Also when Sam tried to reveal his identity and Kamala was like, 'Get away from me.' I love it."

By the time we see them on screen will they actually be 'young' though? They gonna have to change the name or something. They're basically around the same ages as Hemsworth and Evans were when they were on the Marvel train.

@Rosraf - That's the booze.
Maybe he should switch to playing Tony Stark in the reboot. They've spent all this time trying to make him the next Tony Stark, might as well make that literal.

@ObserverIO - Oddly, he seemed to age quickly after he stopped drinking.

I’d prefer Avengers Academy vs legacy heroes.

@Dotanuki - Avengers Academy would be a great title for a show, even if the team itself is called Young Avengers

I doubt we'll see Hulkling or Patriot (just because Eli suited up in the comics, doesn't mean he has to in the MCU imo) already, but I could see Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, Stature, Wiccan, Speed and America Chavez be part of the team. No idea who they'll face though.

@bkmeijer1 - Speed is badly out numbered. He'll never survive 5 females and a brother whose experience with that sex is of no help at all (surviving Agatha does not count). Maybe he should go gay too.

@JDL - didn't even think of that lol. The actor that's gonna play him sure is in for something.

@JDL - I thought he was gay, he had a kiss in the comics and a relationship with Prodigy.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - BTW Echo was in the bottom of Nielsen's Top 10 in its 1st week. Dropped like rock after that but given how it was released expected. Nielsen just don't mean a lot in streaming.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 11/7/2024, 1:10 PM
@JDL - Isn't Nielson the one that does total minutes viewed for their listing thus favours shows that drop multiple episodes at once?

Either way, not being in a top ten doesn't mean much considering the amount of new content weekly that drops as differing genres have differing viewership potentiol. Reality TV for instance tends to outperform all drama here in the UK without even factoring some types of genre tend to have higher viewership than others even when equally good.

@Apophis71 - @CreateNowSlpL8r Yes. I'm pretty sure that's one reason why they dropped Echo that way.

Nielsen used to be way more importamt. When there were only the 3, later 4 linear networks you had imortant analysis to made regarding what your competitors were doing in direct competition and what you were doing as far as holding audience from your lead-in and when applicable your lead out. A show rarely stood solely on its merits. You had to consider what happened to the shows that followed it. You needed shows that fit together to prevent channel flipping. Cable added a lot more choices whcih inreased flipping but streaming just destroyed the entire structure from the old days.

The YOUNG AVENGERS Will Get Cancelled Again In 2025; Will The Comic's Line-Up Reflect The MCU Team?


Fixed that for you.

CreateNowSlpL8r - 11/6/2024, 6:46 PM
@Batmangina - Yeah. It has not chance. Putting them in every major even in the 2010's couldn't get them traction. Retreads never work well to begin with. They might be better off just having unique characters and not younger replacement versions. I never understood what Marvel saw in them honestly. The Champions was another weird attempt.

I dont know about everyone else...but I am excited for Young Avengers! I wonder who the villain will be
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 11/7/2024, 12:21 PM
@BlackStar25 - Same here. Kate, Billy and Kamala are already a big enough sell for this team.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 11/7/2024, 1:23 PM
@BlackStar25 - At one point I'd have guessed Kang, as saving Iron Lad from his alter ego villain was the reason they formed in the first place I believe. If going by those in the comics they could go with someone like Mr Hyde or Shocker (as Secret Invasion already used up the Super Skrull as an option), that or Noh-Varr as fallout from The Marvels or The Warden (in charge of the Cube) considering they seem to have used that facility on their shows (ie think that was where Abomination was being held and Clandestine were taken to at one point).

Why would anyone want Young Avengers when the adult version is so much better.
