3. Is She Related To Those Young Avengers Rumours?

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.
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.
