Phase 4's Young Avengers Setup Is More Exciting Than Avengers 5 Teases
While fans are understandably hyped for the possibility of Avengers 5, the more exciting property that Marvel Studios has been building towards throughout MCU Phase 4 is actually the Young Avengers. The Young Avengers were first introduced in Marvel Comics in 2005, with a reboot in 2013 to coincide with the Marvel NOW! initiative. The original team consisted of adolescent superheroes who had links to established members of the Avengers such as Iron Lad, Wiccan, Patriot, and Hulkling.
Since then, other young heroes have been enlisted into the Young Avengers including Kate Bishop (as Hawkeye), Kid Loki, Speed, and Miss America also being involved amongst others. Throughout MCU Phase 4, the majority of these heroes have been teased or confirmed to appear in future Marvel Studios properties. In addition, with The Avengers and its three sequels being some of the biggest movies of all time, Marvel has been planting the seeds for a possible new line-up of adult Avengers following the loss of major names like Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America.
