The MCU<\/a>‘s unused Young Avengers vs Kang story idea could’ve helped address a long-term issue with the franchise and its recent approaches to its characters. While the MCU timeline<\/a> is one of the biggest and most impressive demonstrations of what a truly long-term and interconnected franchise is capable of, that doesn’t mean it’s been totally without flaws.<\/p>\n

Indeed, building such an expansive and elaborate cinematic universe is an endeavor that is almost impossible to pull off without some complications. One such misstep is arguably the effort the MCU has gone to in recent history to set up the Young Avengers without truly giving them a moment in the limelight properly over their current 3-year-long story – something prior plans for Avengers 5 seemingly hoped to quash.<\/p>\n

The Unused Plans For A Young Avengers Vs Kang Fight Would’ve Addressed A Years-Old MCU Issue<\/p>\n

While answering questions in a Reddit AMA thread, Michael Waldron – best known for creating Loki, though he has also been involved with Avengers 5 as far back as when it was The Kang Dynasty – mentioned he and Jeff Loveness had put forward plans for the Young Avengers to face off against a Kang variant<\/a> in the movie.<\/p>\n

Explaining that the idea was for the team to fight a version of Kang who’s then revealed to be far newer to the temporal villain game than his counterparts, Waldron commented:<\/p>\n

“Jeff Loveness and I spent an afternoon pitching on the Young Avengers defeating a version of Kang and being so stoked about it…only to discover that that particular Kang carried a little card that said to Be Patient with him, it was his first day as a Kang. And then they were so bummed. I think he was gonna be the lizard Kang from the end of ‘Kang Dynasty?’ I don’t know. Anyway we had fun.”<\/p>\n

This storyline would have given the Young Avengers a pretty spectacular movie debut, while also justifying them being able to take down the likes of a Kang variant, and still leaving room for them to grow in terms of their collective prowess as a team. <\/p>\n

With the Young Avengers having been arguably sidelined more than is ideal in the MCU’s movie world thus far since Ms. Marvel and Ironheart’s respective 2022 debuts – getting less in the way of central moments in Marvel’s film landscape than might be expected – this concept could have worked admirably in terms of taking the team’s heroes and putting them front and center for a major story moment. However, the MCU can still certainly do so going forward.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars Can Still Give The Young Avengers The Spotlight They Need<\/p>\n

While the plans to have the Young Avengers face off against a junior Kang now cannot come to fruition for a few reasons, the franchise does have the opportunity to have the team come into their own in the fifth and sixth Avengers films. With The Marvels’ post-credits scene showing the Young Avengers are in their early stages, having them come together in a time of crisis would make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

We already know that whatever plot Doctor Doom cooks up brings several different hero factions to stand against him, opening the chance for the Young Avengers to get their first shared movie screentime as a team by letting them also join the fray. Helpfully, this would effectively also underline how big a threat Doom is by showing that everyone needs to get involved.<\/p>\n

Whether Avengers: Secret Wars closes with a full franchise reset or not, giving the Young Avengers their due and fleshing out the MCU timeline further by showing them operating as a hero team would be a move that seemingly pays dividends for the franchise. However, how the fifth and sixth Avengers movie will handle these figures is currently a question only time can answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The MCU‘s unused Young Avengers vs Kang story idea could’ve helped address a long-term issue with the franchise…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-106563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
