Avengers: Endgame - 10 Films That MUST Happen Next

5. New Avengers

Marvel Comics

The Avengers are gone. Long live the Avengers.

As Endgame's conclusion made clear, the Avengers in their original form are no more. With Iron Man dead, Steve Rogers retired and Thor off with the Guardians, the team's original nucleus is no more. Other characters like Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch are set to lead their own adventures on Disney+, but the former especially is unlikely to be a part of the Avengers having retired.

Be that as it may, the Avengers are far from over. Sure, they've outgrown the original concept, but the team should still exist. The likes of Black Panther, Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel are all shoe-ins to appear, but going about creating this new incarnation of the team should be left to someone else instead.

In the original comics, it was Ant-Man and the Wasp who suggested the Avengers should assemble. Both have a reverence for Cap and his ideals, and while it's still unclear as to what shape this new era will take, it would be great to see them slot into a new team alongside the likes of Spectrum and Kate Bishop's Hawkeye, along with various new additions in the years to come.

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.
