As Marvel keeps expanding the MCU, there’s a rumor the original Avengers, including Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America, could return.
The Big Picture Buzz has swarmed around the Marvel Cinematic Universe's future following the recent rumor that Marvel Studios is hoping to bring back the original six Avengers sometime down the line for another movie. When the MCU originally started, Phase One re-introduced heroes like Iron Man , Thor , and Captain America to modern-day audiences, and did so in a fresh and exciting way, all leading up to 2012's The Avengers.
But Endgame did something more profound than most superhero finales by passing the torch to new heroes to pick up the Avengers' mantle. Heroes like Falcon , War Machine , Captain Marvel , Doctor Strange , Ant-Man , the Wasp , Spider-Man , and the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had all been instrumental in stopping Thanos , were meant to protect the world now, with the promise of more coming down the pipeline.
Avengers: Endgame manages to bring Cap full circle. It's here that he realizes that he missed out entirely on his life and, after years of longing for those missing moments with Peggy Carter , he finally gets his chance. By settling down in the past with Peggy and living a full life, Cap can pass on his shield to Sam Wilson, who officially takes up the mantle in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Resurrecting Black Widow Would Set a Bad Precedent for Future MCU Deaths But not every death in Endgame was as expected. There's no denying that Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow was often poorly used in the original Avengers movies, but as time went on, she became a more well-rounded character worthy of her own solo feature.
And then there's Thor, who is sort of the odd one out in all of this. Although his character arc was completed in Endgame, Thor's entire MCU story was all but ignored in Thor: Love and Thunder, which largely turned the former Avenger into a comedic device instead of a compelling character. Sure, the story ends with Thor as an adoptive dad , but the franchise has already proven that it really doesn't know what it wants to do with the God of Thunder as is.
