Avengers: Age Of Ultron Ending - 14 Implications For Phase 3 And Beyond
10. The Secret Avengers?
While the old Avengers are now on hiatus with Thor and Hulk gone, Tony Stark seemingly retired again and Hawkeye too busy with home improvements, Captain America and Black Widow have put together a new team to take their place.
While the film calls them the New Avengers (calling their base the "New Avengers Facility" was a big hint of the reveal), the make-up of the team, and the fact that they're aligned with Nick Fury suggests that Marvel could use them as the Secret Avengers initiative.
In the comics, the team is a black ops version of the main Avengers team, operating mostly in secret, and with the team set to presumably be boosted out further with the arrivals of Black Panther, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange, a split may just be the best move.
That would also make sense in light of the shift in public perception against superheroes - if they were suspected of anything underhand, it would be terrible PR.
