The Young Avengers in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’? Here’s How they Fit

It wasn’t that long ago that nearly everything Marvel released in their cinematic universe introduced a series of characters who could become part of the MCU version of the Young Avengers. A new Hawkeye debuted in Hawkeye. Ms. Marvel got her own Disney+ series, and then joined The Marvels. America Chavez was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Eli Bradley appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Wiccan was in WandaVision and Agatha All Along.

That’s definitely enough young heroes for a Young Avengers project of some kind. But then the deluge of new characters dried up, and the references to the team coming together did too. It seems like the switch from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to Avengers: Doomsday affected Marvel’s plans for these heroes.

But now it looks like Doomsday and Secret Wars might have an important role for the Young Avengers after all. In our latest video, we’ll look at how the change to Doomsday changed the future of the Young Avengers — and why we suspect the Young Avengers might actually join the MCU under the name the Champions instead.
