MCU Phase 4 Rumours: 12 New Characters Who Could Appear Next

6. The Young Avengers

It's only a matter of time before the question of legacy characters comes up again with the veterans of Phase One likely to retire or be retired through some permanent narrative direction. The major focus in those terms has tended to be on who will replace Captain America (either Bucky or Falcon), but there's a way Marvel could do that differently.

Kevin Feige has already confirmed that his studio are already planting seeds for a Young Avengers project (mostly in terms of Cassie Lang) and since he's God around these parts, we should be happy to accept that something's in the pipeline.

Marvel needs a new generation and a means to appeal to the lucrative younger market (after all, look how well Spider-Man does with that demographic) and having a kids superteam makes a lot of sense.
