Young Avengers: Speculation and Uncertainty Surrounding Their Potential Return in 2025
13 Nov, 2024
There's been recent speculation surrounding the possibility of a new comic featuring the Young Avengers set for 2025. However, the current situation is a bit unclear.
Initially, a report surfaced suggesting that Marvel Comics editor C.B. Cebulski had shared exciting news at this year’s Osaka Comic Con about the return of the Young Avengers in 2025. Following this, a video of the panel was found, confirming Cebulski’s statement. He mentioned that the Young Avengers would indeed be reuniting, indicating a selection process for which characters would be included on the next squad. Names like Kate Hawkeye, Patriot, Hulkling, and Wiccan were mentioned, hinting at an intriguing lineup for fans.
However, excitement may be tempered by another comment from Tom Brevoort, a long-time Marvel editor. He addressed the buzz regarding the new title in a recent Substack newsletter, expressing skepticism over the previous reports. He informed fans that much of what was said might have been misunderstood, emphasizing that while certain characters will indeed appear in upcoming stories, there are currently no plans for a dedicated Young Avengers series.
Brevoort acknowledged that the situation could evolve if the creative team feels inspired by a compelling story or creator. Nonetheless, as of now, no confirmations of a new series exist, leaving fans wondering about the true status of the project.
Given that Brevoort is usually up to date with Marvel projects, it raises questions about the validity of Cebulski's remarks. With the resurgence of interest in characters like Wiccan, thanks to recent media exposure, it seemed plausible that the Young Avengers could be making a return. Whether plans have shifted or if the characters will simply make guest appearances in other titles remains uncertain for the moment, preserving an air of mystery around the Young Avengers' future.
Additionally, there may be discussions about assembling a Young Avengers team for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well, keeping fans of both comics and films eager for news.
