10 Marvel Heroes That Could Join The Avengers After Infinity War

3. Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)

Though we may all love Clint (or not, if you like to base your character preferences on their powers alone), it's likely that his time as an Avenger isn't going to continue past the next two Avengers films. Every team needs an archer however, and luckily for The Avengers, Kate Bishop is available.

Hawkeye's successor and friend, Kate really made a name for herself during Matt Fraction and David Aja's amazing run on the character, and teamed up with the erstwhile Avenger as he did normal, everyday things in his local New York neighbourhood. It was a sharp, compassionate and funny series, and gives plenty of reason behind the calls for Kate to take a role in the MCU.

While the addition of another Hawkeye would, admittedly, feel slightly left field, it makes plenty of sense in the long run. Indeed, if Renner could be convinced, a Netflix series focusing on the duo would be a surefire recipe for success, especially if Kate did end up taking her place on the actual Avengers lineup.

It's unlikely that he'll be getting killed off, after all (Age of Ultron teased that particular plot point way too frequently), but it would be nice to see the character retire after one last cosmic outing with a nice passing of the mantle.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
