Marvel fans are abuzz over a suggestedYoung Avengersseries coming 2025 after hints by Marvel’s editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski, but later clarifications make it clear that’s not quite what’s coming down the pipeline. Cebulski teased characters such as Kate Bishop, Patriot, Hulkling, and Wiccan would soon enjoy a reunion. However, since this announcement, there has been some conflicting information from Marvel Executive Editor, Senior Vice President of Publishing and X-Men Group Editor Tom Brevoort thatthisisn’taYoung Avengersseries.
“I can break some special news here,” Cebulski teased in comments at Osaka Comic Con reported byPopverse.“The Young Avengers will be reuniting in 2025 in Marvel Comics. There have been two Young Avengers teams, but now we’re deciding which characters for natural story reasons are going to join the new Young Avengers team. Kate-Hawkeye, Patriot, Hulkling, Wiccan…who is going to join? You’ll see [in] 2025!”
This quote by C.B. Cebulski strongly suggested the Young Avengers would return in a new series, with a new roster taking characters from both past teams. However, it’s now been clarified in no uncertain terms that the young heroes aren’t getting a new series. So whatishappening?
The MCU has teased an upcoming team of young heroes, so what if Marvel is using their comic reunion to alter the team’s name?

But That Doesn’t Mean the Reunion Can’t Take Another Form
Brevoort finished by saying that plans could change at any time and if theAvengerseditorial office thinks they’ve got a story that would be successful, then something could happen. As far as Brevoort’s aware though, there aren’t plans for anyYoung Avengersseries.
Of course, just because there won’t be aYoung Avengersseries doesn’t mean Marvel has no plans for the characters. The team could still appear as supporting characters in another series, or could get a dedicated one-shot or annual. It’s also possible some Young Avengers icons will unite under a new codename. Indeed, if thatisthe case,it could be a major indicator of upcoming MCU plans.

Marvel Is Planning SOMETHING With Its Young Heroes
In the past few years of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), several young heroes have been popping up across different MCU entries. Some of these young heroes have been part of one of the Young Avengers teams from the comics, while others haven’t had the honor. At the end ofThe Marvels,written and directed by Nia Dacosta,Ms. Marvel is seen recruiting Kate Bishopfor a team, asking her if she thought she was the only kid-superhero in the world. Marvel’s synergy means that the comics often make changes to remain familiar to movie fans, so what if this upcoming ‘kid heroes’ projectisn’tgoing to be titledYoung Avengers?
While recruiting Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel also mentions Cassie Lang aka Stature. Some other young heroes in the MCU include Wiccan, Skaar, America Chavez, Patriot, Kid Loki, Falcon and Ironheart.
It’s possible that theYoung Avengersreunion teased by Cebulski will introduce a new name for the group, potentially debuting aconcept that’s planned for the MCUinstead of using the ‘Young Avengers’ name. So while a newYoung Avengersseries almost surely isn’t coming anytime soon, it does seem the iconic characters are heading forsomesort of reunion, and possibly one that will indicate the fate of Marvel’s next generation in the MCU.
