Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed that, following “Avengers: Secret Wars,” the company will recast the X-Men and eventually characters like Tony Stark.
Three and a half supersoldiers, a lady who can walk through walls, and Superman but with DID, don’t quite make a functional Avengers team. Gonna need just a teeny bit more powers diversity in there.
Captain America: Supersoldier who is also an top-tier tactician
Hulk: Unstoppable green god-level strength rage monster who can also transform into one of the smartest people on Earth
Thor: God-level strength combined with flight and lightning powers, has some familiarity with magic, has Asgardian diplomatic ties
vs.
Red Guardian: Discount Captain America without a shield or extraordinary leadership abilities, but also past his expiration date
Bucky: Discount Captain America with a robot arm and will use guns, no shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities
US Agent: Discount Captain America with a folded taco shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities, in fact it seems like his personality actively causes people to hate him. Also he beheaded a guy on national television.
I mean, I love this team of fuck-ups but they gotta diversify that roster a little if they’re going to call themselves Avengers.
The avengers are a ridiculously large cast of characters in the comics. There are several dozen to choose from (even more if you want to count Young Avengers, West Coast Avengers, etc.
Sure, eventually, but not anytime soon. There are plenty of new characters and there are plenty of characters who pickup the existing titles. Tell stories that exist in the comics, but feel free to adjust, tweak or just make completely new interactions.
I guess I’d like to see more exploration of new characters before we go back to the familiar roles.
For Iron Man we still haven’t seen much of War Machine. We just got introduced to Ironheart. We could bring in Iron Lad.
For Captain America we’ve handed off to Falcon who is just getting started. Could someone else pick up the title next?
Hawkeye is handing off the title to Kate Bishop.
Spider-Man is still young but maybe we can get live action Miles Morales at some point.
However! (And it’s too early to predict this) With DCs Superman we’re just getting dropped into an existing universe. If Marvel wants to head into this direction. If we reboot after Secret Wars to a lived in world where everyone already exists.

Just make a new Avengers of other, unused super heroes. It doesn’t have to stay the same 5 to 6 heroes forever. They have a huge pool to pull from.
The Thunderbolts are quite literally called “The New Avengers”

Captain America, Hulk and Thor are basically the same. Just strong guys who hit stuff with other stuff. Be it a shield, a hammer, or another bad-guy.

They kinda tried that, and it didnt work.

Then maybe that makes sense.

Recast. Not recasted. And no. Much like DC and the Justice League, Marvel has a huge pantheon of heroes to pull from.

P.S. If you’re going to be pedantic, it’s “are” the same thing.
