Thor: Love & Thunder: 10 Questions It Leaves Unanswered

1. Will Love & Axl Join The Young Avengers?

With the MCU's growing number of younger superheroes among its ranks, it's been speculated that Kevin Feige may be slowly setting up a Young Avengers arc, where in Phase 4 or beyond, the younger heroes will form their own Avengers outfit.

There are already a number of compelling candidates in the MCU, from Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) to William and Thomas Maximoff (Julian Hilliard and Jett Klyne), Kate Bishop (Hallie Steinfeld), Kid Loki (Jack Veal), Eli Bradley (Elijah Richardson), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani).

And with Love and Thunder introducing us to two prominent young heroes in Gorr's resurrected daughter Love and Heimdall's son Axl (Kieron L. Dyer), could they also be joining the lineup?

This is a tricky one. For starters, we don't even know if a Young Avengers storyline is definitely going to happen, and considering the potential roster size already, some of the young heroes clearly won't be making the cut.

It's quite possible that Love will remain under the tutelage of her surrogate father/uncle Thor for now, or perhaps there just aren't any wider plans for Love or Axl beyond a brief supporting appearance in the next Thor movie.

The possibilities are endless and wide-open, but don't hedge your bets that this is further setting up the Young Avengers in any tangible, definite way.
