Did MCU Just Tease A New Avengers Team For Phase 5?
Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems like just the beginning, but Marvel already seems to be teasing a New Avengers team for the upcoming Phase. Post the events of Endgame that ended three Phases, composing of the Infinity Saga, however, the original Avengers are now a thing of the past. They stopped Thanos and undid the Blip but no one knew what their plan going ahead will be. However, threats don’t end with Thanos, so we will be needing a New Avengers team.
Phase 4 Culminated With Endgame
2019’s Far From Home revealed to us where most of these heroes were after Endgame. While Captain Marvel and Thor were off Earth, shows like WandaVision, Hawkeye, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier gave us a look at their lives after the events of Endgame. MCU also introduced some new members like Kate Bishop, Elijah Bradley, and Tommy Maximoff as a new generation of heroes who may later join the New Avengers.
Phase 4 is yet to give us a direct setup to the team as Phase 1 did, but it has successfully introduced new heroes like Monica Rambeau, Shang-Chi, Dane Whitman, Sersi, and other above-mentioned members. We should also keep in mind the transition of Falcon into Captain America and Wanda”s transformation into the Scarlet Witch.
How will Phase 4 set up a New Avengers Team
Phase 4 is busy setting up new characters and interesting future storylines, teams, and crossovers. For example, the appearance of White Vision in WandaVision and the reference of Moira Brandon in Hawkeye also open the possibility of West Coast Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With only She-Hulk left to be introduced, all main members of the Young Avengers seem ready to assemble in the film or a Disney+ series. The Blade is also confirmed to appear alongside Dane Whitman’s Black Knight and it’s a possibility that they make a team with Moon Knight and Doctor Strange later on. Yelena Belova, Natasha’s sister, is another positive future member of the Young Avengers team and the next Black Widow and with Kamala Khan also ready to make her debut, things look great for MCU.
Will Phase 5 Feature An Avengers 5 Film?
After the whole Infinity Saga, MCU first needs to build up to a massive villain reveal – a threat so big that it requires all the heroes to assemble once again. However, this could still take some time. It’s not like MCU doesn’t have strong contenders with Kang the Conquerer soon making his debut. However, the focus is to establish characters for now and the upcoming Disney+ and Marvel projects are doing just the same.
