MCU Phase 4: 15 Essential Rumours & Theories You Need To Know

10. The New Avengers Join The Fray

The Rumour:

This may be more of a theory than a straight up rumour, but given how the old guard of the Avengers look increasingly likely to hang up their costumes after Endgame, as well as the fact Marvel are introducing new heroes like Shang-Chi and the Eternals, many believe that a whole 'New Avengers' will lead the way in Phase 4, or at least cap it off. ScreenRant even believe their introduction will "stop the MCU going stale."

The Response:

In this instance, this seems like a no-brainer. The likes of Shang-Chi and certain characters from the Eternals are sure to be a part of a new ensemble in the future, but then there are other, younger additions to contemplate too. Many believe that Kate Bishop could appear in Endgame to replace Clint Barton as the MCU's Hawkeye, with a view to a TV series on Disney+, and that the film's touted time-jump may even see Cassie Lang assuming the mantle of Stature, like she did in the comics.

It's a little too early to determine who exactly this new Avengers team will be comprised of, but with the likes of Bucky, Valkyrie and more all set to stay in the MCU for at least another couple of years, it seems pretty obvious that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will undergo a bit of a reshuffle.
