How can Young Avengers replace Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans’ characters?
It can’t be denied that followingAvengers: Endgame,Marvel hasn’t been the same. The OG characters had a primary contribution in popularizing the franchise giant. Robert Downey Jr.,Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, and Mark Ruffalo shared a chemistry that’s missing from the MCU in the recent few years.

Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel was shown recruiting several superheroes like Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang to form Young Avengers. It is theorized that this team will also have Iron Man and Captain America of its own. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man or Dominique Thorn’s Riri Williams aka Ironheart are highly likely to take the seat of Downey Jr.’s character.

On the other hand, Elijah Bradley, seen inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldiercan be a potential addition for Chris Evans’ replacement in the team. Elijah had a primary role in the comics as the Patriot. The movie might also establish Bradley as the next iteration of Captain America after Sam Wilson.
