Is Marvel getting ready for the Young Avengers?
Have you noticed how the Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps growing and bringing in new fresh-faced heroes to pick up the Avengers' mantle? With so many young heroes being introduced, we can assume Marvel is preparing us for the Young Avengers.
In the comics, the Young Avengers are a group of teenagers who band together to fill the void left by the disbanding of the original Avengers. Incorporating the young team into the MCU could open up a whole new range of storytelling possibilities.
