Rumours of Marvel preparing a new generation of Avengers have been floating around pretty much since the release of Infinity War, and they seem to get more and more compelling every week.

It was first reported that Emma Fuhrmann would play an older version of Scott Lang's daughter Cassie in Avengers: Endgame in the wake of Infinity War's release, and when quizzed on the matter, Kevin Feige responded that Marvel were "planting seeds" regarding her transformation into a superhero, which happened in the comics.

Cassie becomes the hero known as Stature in the same Young Avengers series that introduced the world to Kate Bishop, and with Feige having already intimated Marvel's interest in exploring those characters, even if a Young Avengers film doesn't get made, it's certainly possible that the same group could feature in a new-look Avengers going forward.

Things will look much clearer once Endgame is out in the open, but the thing to bear in mind right now is that, even though Kate is getting introduced - ostensibly - in a TV show, she could still play a key role in the films too.
