So it turns out that there No It will be a new Young Avengers comic in 2025. Unless there is.
Confused? Us too. But here's the story so far… Last week, Popverse reported that Marvel Comics editor-in-chief CB Cebulski had announced at this year's Osaka Comic Con that the Young Avengers will return to comics at some point. 2025. Bleeding Cool followed up on this by tracing the source: a video of a panel recorded at the convention (which took place in May).
In it, Cebulski can be heard saying: “So yes, I can break some special news here… The Young Avengers will reunite in 2025 in Marvel Comics. There have been two Young Avengers teams, but now we're deciding which characters, for natural story reasons, they will join the new Young Avengers team, Kate Hawkeye, Patriot, you know, Hulkling, Wiccan… who will join? You'll see, in 2025!
So is it time to get excited? Well, maybe… or maybe not. Veteran Marvel editor and head of all things X-Men, Tom Brevoort, responded to a question about the apparent new book yesterday in the latest edition of his Substack newsletter, where he seemed to pour cold water on the speculation.
Questioned by fan Montana Mott, Brevoort responded: “I don't really know much about what was said and what was reported, Montana, but I can tell you that whatever it is, it has been wildly misinterpreted and exaggerated. While the characters will continue to appear when relevant: Patriot will play a role in Sam Wilson's next project, Captain America, and Wiccan and Hulkling are still floating around the periphery of a lot of space things, there are no plans at the moment for a new series of Young Avengers.”
However, he added, “Now, that could change at any time, assuming CB, Wil Moss, and the Avengers editorial office feel they have a creator, a story, or a time in which to do such a thing.” could be successful. But so far, it's not in any of the plans I've heard.
So what happens? It's unlikely that Brevoort wouldn't be aware of a new title if one exists. On the other hand, it is a direct quote from Cebulski (you can hear it yourself starting at minute 30:50 in the video). The timing would certainly make sense, as the general public has just discovered Wiccan in Agatha All Along and the team has been out long enough to make it an exciting and lively new release. Maybe there were plans that have now changed, or maybe the team will simply appear in other comics, rather than a specific Young Avengers title? For now, this is all a mystery, but potentially very exciting. Time will tell. He always does it.
Is Marvel also building? a list of Young Avengers for the MCU?
