Which heroes should be in the Next Avengers Team?
So, you've seen Avengers: Endgame. You laughed, cried, cheered and cried a lot more, and now we're left to process that huge movie. Even though Endgame has just arrived in theaters and there's still so much to talk about, this is the MCU, and we can not help but think about the future. Endgame what the definitive end for a handful of key characters, but some more.
The old Avengers guard has moved to the spotlight. Obviously, this is all going to be speculative on my part, but there are plenty of big-time players on the board, and the new Avengers roster could look mighty impressiv
Avenger is up for grabs. Hawkeye is with his family, Thor is in space, and Hulk ... well, Hulk is up in the air, but let's get some new blood and regulate him to a cameo or resident science guy. I have a personal preference for smaller teams, but there were too many characters for me to cut.
Spider-Man
Unless Sony decides to throw the rug out of Marvel's feet, there's little chance Spider-Man is not on the Avengers. In addition to being Marvel's flagship character, he's appeared in three crossover films so far, and he's technically one of the only active members of the Avengers still standing.
Spikey can not be happier in the MCU's future, and he has plenty of mentors to help him in Tony Stark's absence.
Captain Marvel
Kevin Feige said Carol Danvers wants to move forward within the MCU. There are big plans for her in the future, so it's a good thing she has a billion dollar franchise right out of the gate.
As the most powerful hero in the MCU, Carol is beyond valuable as an asset to the Avengers. The future threats of Phase 4 are unknown, but the Avengers probably want all the photon-powered muscles they can get. I got the sense in Endgame that Carol was not used to working in a team, so that could make for an interesting arc down the road.
Black Panther
His standalone movie stabbed straight through the heart of pop culture last year and propelled itself to a Best Picture nomination. That's no small feat for a superhero movie, but Black Panther
Beyond the achievements of his movie, Black Panther is a good guy to have around. He's an extremely resourceful character with almost the same powers as Captain America, and his access to vibranium offers all sorts of cool tech options for the Avengers.
Doctor Strange
Pretty much the entirety of Endgame was by Doctor Strange's design. Hey what the mastermind behind the Avengers final stand and made sure that everything came together as he had foreseen. He's too powerful and smart.
A Doctor Strange sequel is reportedly in development so we can probably count on Strange to show up in the future. Strange is responsible for protecting the entire multiverse, so that the need to deal with the earth-bound conflicts of the Avengers, but that depends on what type of threats are in phase 4.
Ant-Man And The Wasp
These two are a packaged deal. I very much doubt that we get one without the other. Ant-Man got a big chance to step up in Endgame, and the Wasp was in the thick of it during the Battle of Earth, so it only makes sense that they both get called up to the big leagues.
Honestly, I could see both characters sitting out the next team-up since those two tend to deal with much smaller stakes, but they've both been in the MCU for more than one of these other picks. It seems only fair that they get shot in the team-up movie.
Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff is an official Avenger, but she never really got her time to shine except in small doses. With the bigger players gone, now might be the perfect time for Wanda to step up as a key member of the Avengers.
Scarlet Witch gets emotional, things get crazy. Plus, she's stupid strong and almost killed Thanos BY HERSELF, so the MCU can not be done with her yet. WandaVision shakes out.
Valkyrie
Valkyrie is one of the newest characters in the MCU, but she soon became a fan-favorite after her debut in Thor: Ragnarok. She oozes charisma, in no small thanks to the performance of Tessa Thompson.
Valkyrie would be the representative of the new team. Wakanda at the moment, she's in too important. With the Thor franchise in the air, the Avengers would make a great place to showcase Valkyrie and her awesome flying horse. We need more pegasus in the MCU!
Sam Wilson As Captain America
One of the most significant changes made in Endgame is the retirement of Steve Rogers after he returns to the timeline as an old man. Sam Wilson, naming him the new Captain America, is now wearing his iconic shield.
It's a huge step up for Sam and it's sure to have big implications moving forward. If Sam becomes Captain America, then he'll almost certainly be on the next Avengers team. Being in a leadership role is all-new for Sam, so it would be very interesting to see how he interacts with personalities like Black Panther and Captain Marvel, and his place in the MCU.
Again, this is a pretty big team, and while Marvel is getting a little bit louder. new team of characters just like the original Avengers. However, if it's going to be big for Phase 4, you can not get much better than the assembled team up above.
