MCU Phase 5: Predicting The NEW Avengers Lineup

2. Captain Marvel

Avengers 5 Lineup

If you want the biggest stick to swing at the bad guys, you need look no further than the one MCU heroine whom Thanos needed an entire Infinity Stone to take down.

Captain Marvel's trilogy has only just started, so we don't necessarily know where she's going to end up going forward. Especially because in the comics, she's gotten around a LOT over the years, going from the Avengers to the Guardians of the Galaxy, to even the X-Men for a time.

But if I had to put my money anywhere, it would definitely be the Avengers. The Avengers had dealt with extraterrestrial threats before Endgame, but now space and alien races like the Kree and Skrulls are officially an actively participating force in the MCU.

So the Avengers are going to need someone with experience in dealing with alien races and knowing which ones to look out for and which ones are genuinely friendly. And if it turns out to be the former example, they're gonna need someone who can tear through an entire alien warship like its made of tissue paper.
