Many fans have always wanted to see a Young Avengers movie. However, seeing the team form in the MCU started to feel like a real possibility when Marvel Studios began introducing multiple young heroes in its various projects. New MCU characters like Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel, Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, and Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang felt like contenders for a possible Young Avengers team. The Marvels’ post-credits scene teased a Young Avengers project when Ms. Marvel met with Kate Bishop to discuss forming a team, but Marvel Studios hasn’t officially announced such a movie or TV series.

Kevin Feige Finally Has Good Blade MCU News After the Latest Delay
The Blade MCU release date delay had some fans worried the project would be canceled, and Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige addressed those concerns.
Now, Daniel Richtman reports that Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley met with Marvel Studios to discuss several projects. According to Richtman, one possible project for Hawley to write and direct is a Young Avengers movie. The acclaimed writer and director was reportedly considered for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars before Marvel Studios decided to reteam with the Russo Brothers for both films. It should be noted that official sources have not confirmed or denied Richtman’s report.
As the series creator, main writer, and showrunner of FX’s Fargo TV show, Hawley may seem like an unexpected candidate to direct a blockbuster MCU movie. However, Hawley is no stranger to genre projects. In addition to serving as the showrunner of Legion, based on the eponymous X-Men character, Hawley wrote and directed the upcoming Alien TV series for FX. His work has received acclaim and accolades, making him a potentially invaluable Young Avengers movie director.
Of course, as Richtman’s rumor states, Hawley could potentially write or direct a different MCU project. He could decide he doesn’t want to make an MCU project. Still, Marvel Studios is seemingly keen on producing a Young Avengers movie. The question is, when could fans see it? The Multiverse Saga ends with Avengers: Secret Wars, and the slate of MCU movies before then seems full. So, it could be a long time before a Young Avengers movie hits theaters, assuming the rumors of its development are true.
A longer wait could solve a potential Young Avengers movie problem. The Avengers movies introduced the roster by giving most characters a solo movie, allowing audiences to get to know and become attached to them before they all teamed up. However, the potential Young Avengers team members have been largely introduced in Disney Plus shows, in some cases as supporting characters or cameos. Fans may feel they need more time with these characters before they can care about a Young Avengers movie, so perhaps Marvel Studios shouldn’t rush this one.
The Avengers movies are available on Disney Plus.
