The New Avengers: Team of Tomorrow

The New Avengers are emerging as a powerful force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This new team will bring together veteran heroes with upcoming heroes, all aiming to protect the world from emerging threats. The line-up is likely to include characters from Phase 4 and Phase 5 of the MCU, with a handful of original members from the previous Avengers lineup.

Potential Leaders and Key Members

Thor, one of the remaining Big Three characters, is a strong candidate for leading the New Avengers. After leaving Guardians of the Galaxy in 2025, he may become a crucial figure in leading the Avengers against new villains. Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) could also assume an important role despite her past controversies, thanks to her reality-bending powers. Spider-Man, despite the events of No Man’s Home, could rejoin the Avengers, bolstering their ranks with his unique abilities and value to the team.

Other notable members include:

Sam Wilson (Captain America): After becoming the new Captain America, Sam Wilson's dedication to his role is evident, making him a strong fit for the New Avengers. James Rhodes (War Machine): The bond between War Machine and Tony Stark (Iron Man) ensures that Rhodes would not want to leave the Avengers. His experience would prove invaluable to the new team. Professor Hulk (Bruce Banner): Though unable to engage in direct combat, his intelligence is essential for the team given the recent loss of Tony Stark. Shuri and Black Panther (T’Challa): With the substantial resources of the Kingdom of Wakanda, Black Panther remains a financial and strategic asset for the Avengers. Shuri's intelligence will also prove beneficial. Doctor Strange: Though not directly a member of the Avengers, his allegiance is yet to be fully defined. His role as an ally with a third eye suggests he might play a significant part in the New Avengers. Captain Marvel: Speculated to join if she does not stay involved in galactic affairs, her status remains uncertain. Shang-Chi: His strength and potential make him a strong candidate for inclusion in the New Avengers. Ant Man: With the Kang Dynasty not being directly featured, his role might be less prominent initially, but he could be critical when Kang arrives. Spider-Woman (Wasp): Likely to work alongside Ant Man, she could contribute significantly to the team's success. She-Hulk: Due to her self-focused character, she has a lower chance of joining but remains a contender. America Chavez: With her multiverse-level powers, she is a strong candidate for inclusion. Kate Bishop (Hawkeye): She will likely join due to the need for someone to replace Clint Barton (Hawkeye). Rose_SPR (Ironheart): As the successor to Iron Man, she will pose as a useful replacement for the team.

Opposing Teams: The Thunderbolts

Opposing the New Avengers are the Thunderbolts, a team of former villains now working for the government. Comprising members such as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Red Guardian, Black Widow, Ghost, White Wolf, Taskmaster, and US Agent, they represent a government-backed threat to the Avengers. While their inclusion in the MCU is debated, their presence as a counterforce is undeniable.

The official roster of the New Avengers remains to be seen as the MCU continues to evolve. Stay tuned for upcoming releases and trailers to see who ultimately joins the ranks of the New Avengers.

Conclusion

The New Avengers represent a new chapter in the MCU, bringing together a diverse range of characters who offer unique strengths and resources. From seasoned veterans to emerging heroes, this new team is poised to face the diverse and complex challenges ahead of them.
