An insider may have spilled the beans on Marvel’sAvengers 5plans. While Kevin Feige has confirmed that plans forAvengers 5have been set in motion, he didn’t reveal who will be part of the line-up or when the movie will release. But an insider who goes by the name of Main Middle Man on Twitter recently posted a series of tweets detailing how Marvel is setting up several different teams of Avengers. And it all has to do with the Disney+ seriesArmor Wars. Starring Don Cheadle,Armor Warswas announced last December, and takes place after the events ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Like the eponymous comics,Armor Warswill see Tony Stark’s technology fall into the wrong hands. Writing is underway on the show, and it will begin filming in early 2022. However, the show won’t be as grounded and isolated as many are expecting. If reports are to be believed,Armor Warswill set up theWest Coast Avengers. Moreover, the show will be “intense and immersive” on par with an MCU movie. These reports stem from the tweets of one mysterious Marvel insider, who, in the past, has made several correct predictions. Still, take them with a grain of salt. You can check out the tweets below.
For those unaware, theWest Coast Avengersis a team founded by Hawkeye in the comics. Over time, Vision, War Machine, Moon Knight, The Thing, Wasp, Tigra, Scarlet Witch, and Mockingbird have been part of the roster. Many of these characters already exist in the MCU, while a few are debuting soon. Also, Ty Simpkins' Harley Keener and Justin Hammer are expected to return inArmor Wars. This brings us to the topic ofYoung Avengers.
TheYoung Avengersconsist of children or proteges of the originalAvengers. Many of those have already appeared in the MCU. This includes Scarlett Witch’s children Speed (played by Jett Klyne) and Wiccan (played by Julian Hilliard) fromWandaVision. Patriot (Elijah Bradley played by Elijah Richardson inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Kid Loki (played by Jack Veal inLoki). Although Harley keener is an original character, he could become the next Iron Man.
Furthermore,Hailee Steinfeld will be taking on the mantle of Hawkeyein the upcoming Disney+ show. Ant-Man’s daughter Cassie Lang will be portrayed by Kathryn Newton inAnt-Man 3. Cassie Lang is famously known as Stature in the comics. Miss America (played by Xochitl Gomez) and Ironheart (played by Dominique Thorne) will be making their debut in theDoctor StrangeandBlack Panthersequels respectively.
At this point, it’s all but confirmed that aYoung Avengersmovie will happen in the near future. The introduction of so many Young Avengers team members can’t just be a coincidence. Whether theWest Coast Avengersassemble in theMCUremains unconfirmed. As forAvengers 5, Kevin Feige said the following in a recent interview.
“We want there to be a reasonable amount of time from the Endgame to start a new saga, which is already underway and already started. Then you need some time as we did in phase one to build that saga before you start bringing everybody together.”
Shang-Chi has been declared Marvel’s newest Avenger in the promos, and the Eternals may follow suit. The pandemic has pushed back Marvel’s phase 4 slate by a year, and all the slots are filled till 2024, with Marvel prioritizingBlade, Deadpool 3, andFantastic Four. So, don’t expect anAvengersmovie anytime soon. This news originated atBGR.
