Though nothing has been officially announced, The Marvels pretty blatantly laid the groundwork for some sort of Young Avengers project. Previous rumors pointed to a Disney+ series, but a more recent report claimed that the Jr. roster of Earth's Mightiest Heroes will actually assemble on the big screen.

Right at the end of the recent Captain Marvel sequel, after helping Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau defeat Dar-Benn and prevent a catastrophic Multiversal event, Kamala Khan 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.

Kamala mentions Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's Cassie Lang, aka Stature (Kathryn Newton), but who else could we see on the team?

Even before Joe Locke's Agatha All Along character was confirmed to be Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan, there was speculation that the sons of the Scarlet Witch would eventually return to join the Young Avengers. While speaking to ComicBook.com, Locke was tight-lipped about any specific plans, but definitely sounds interested in being a part of the roster.

“I don’t know. I mean, I obviously would love for that to happen because I love working with Marvel and I love Billy as a character and would love to carry on playing him. But, I don’t know anything about it,” the actor deadpans. “If that’s their plan, that’s great and I absolutely love that. But, they don’t tell me anything. Like, that’s not even me keeping anything. I’d love to be like, ‘Yeah, I’m doing all this!’ But, who knows? You know, it’s very early days.”

Locke was also asked about episode 3's Mephisto mention.

“That was great. I feel like that was a very fan-service/wider MCU thing that I have no idea about. But, it definitely is fun to bring to life, as a fan of Marvel,” he admitted. “To be like, ‘Oh, we get to say his name!’ That means that maybe…like, who knows what that means for the future of that character?” 

The demonic villain is expected to make his MCU debut in Ironheart, with Sacha Baron Cohen in the role.

The new series focuses on Kathryn Hahn’s character, Agatha Harkness, from the acclaimed Marvel Studios’ series WandaVision, as she sets off on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer, who was the creative force behind WandaVision, directs the pilot episode.

"In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…"

In addition to Kathryn Hahn, Agatha All Along stars Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer. The directors for the series include Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Montiero.

The fifth episode of Agatha All Along is now streaming on Disney+.

The Billy episode. I can see why he said this the best episode.

And he absolutely knows where he shows up next. I think he ends up with a young avenger at the end of this

There is no chance, and I mean NO CHANCE, this makes it to the big screen. They are all D+ characters, if they do anything, it will be there.

To my surprise the Ralph Bohner usage was enjoyable.

@JDL - Yeah I love the traumatic and unhinged side of someone in the MCU who has lived through an Avengers level event and has to carry on because nobody genuinely cares about them or believes them. Reminds me of that couple in Jessica Jones who wanted to kill heroes because of the loss they endured during the battle of NY.

@JDL - Peters hamming it up was great. So many little one-liners got me like having to leave his Blu-ray collection behind.

@McMurdo - I'm being serious. It doesn't have to be an episode of The Penguin to he considered great.

Normal people: "I enjoyed this TV show."
Weirdos: "Oh, so it's the best single episode of television ever produced?!"

@comicfan100 - I wouldn't say incredible but I did like Billy's story and this is my favorite episode of the series so far.

Out of all the Young Avengers we have seen thus far, Wiccan has had the best on screen adaption and origin story thus far with Kate Bishop in second and Kamala Khan in third.

@SonOfAGif - I've enjoyed them all, from origin to casting to characterization. Folks act like this is going to be some kind of "kids Avengers" but Hailey Steinfeld is as old as Chris Evans when he debuted as Cap, and Iman will be in her mid-20s by the time Secret Wars drops. This is the next gen of MCU heroes, and I'm here for it.
