With Marvel’s recent announcements of “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” excitement among Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans is at an all-time high. The Multiverse Saga is generating buzz about which variants might make a return, but several MCU characters from recent phases also deserve attention as potential Avengers.
Love and the Stormbreaker Legacy
Introduced in “Thor: Love and Thunder,” Love, played by India Rose Hemsworth, was the daughter of Gorr the God Butcher, resurrected by Eternity. With Thor adopting her and her wielding Stormbreaker, Love stands out as a potential member of the New Avengers. Although Chris Hemsworth’s involvement in future Avengers films remains uncertain, a reference to Love’s activities could be a valuable addition.
Joaquin Torres: The Next Falcon
Joaquin Torres, portrayed by Danny Ramirez in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” was hinted to take up the Falcon mantle after Sam Wilson became Captain America. With Torres already featured in “Captain America: Brave New World,” fans anticipate his potential role in future Avengers movies, possibly donning the Falcon suit in a form faithful to the comics.
Shuri: The New Black Panther
Letitia Wright’s Shuri, who assumed the Black Panther mantle in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” has shown her capability in defending Wakanda. Despite her current location in Haiti, Shuri’s reappearance in future Avengers films is likely, especially as fans are eager to see her alongside characters like Riri Williams and to learn about T’Challa’s son.
Elijah Bradley: Patriot in the Making
Elijah Bradley, introduced in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and played by Elijah Richardson, is the grandson of Isaiah Bradley. His role as Patriot in the comics suggests a future where he could join the Young Avengers. The setup in the series indicates a promising path for him in future MCU storylines.
Cassie Lang: A New Ant-Man Legacy
Kathryn Newton’s portrayal of Cassie Lang in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” shows her stepping into a significant role with size-altering powers. Given her experience with Kang the Conqueror, Cassie, akin to her comic counterpart Stature, is well-positioned for a future Avengers role.
Ms. Marvel’s Path to Avengers Status
Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, introduced in “Ms. Marvel” and appearing in “The Marvels,” has shown strong potential for joining the Avengers. Her recent team-up with Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau suggests she is a prime candidate for future Avengers films, especially with the Young Avengers being recruited.
Ironheart: Riri Williams’ Potential Return
Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams, who debuted in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” is set to headline an Ironheart series. Her appearance in future Avengers films is anticipated, particularly given her connection to Tony Stark and potential interactions with a Doctor Doom resembling Stark.
Kate Bishop: Leadership Potential
Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld and seen in “Hawkeye” and “The Marvels,” is considered a strong candidate for leading the Young Avengers. Her previous interactions with other legacy characters and her recruitment by Kamala Khan hint at her future role in the Avengers lineup.
Yelena Belova: Thunderbolts and Beyond
Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, introduced in “Black Widow” and appearing in “Hawkeye,” is set for a major role in the “Thunderbolts” film. Her character arc could position her as a key player in future Avengers films, potentially alongside Kate Bishop.
The Maximoff Twins: Wiccan and Speed
Billy and Tommy Maximoff, from “WandaVision” and seen as variants in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” could reappear in the main MCU universe. Their potential inclusion in “Avengers: Secret Wars” remains a possibility, especially with ongoing multiverse narratives.
These characters represent the future of the MCU and could provide significant contributions to the Avengers team in upcoming films.
