Three years after the devastating events of Avengers: Endgame, there is a void for a new set of superheroes to fill. Even if it might take a while for the next Avengers to have their own spotlight in the MCU, fans are already speculating as early as now about who would be in the lineup.

Speaking recently with Somos Geeks, Kang The Conqueror’s Jonathan Majors teased potential members of the Avengers’ next roster as he answered the question of who he was looking forward to sharing the screen with as they battled on screen.
“Yeah, I think this new class of Avengers is quite impressive, you know? Letitia Wright, Florence Pugh, I mean, just to name a few. I mean, these actresses are the avant-garde of their generation, in the MCU and outside of it.” he said.
Wright made her MCU debut as Shuri, the younger sister of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), in Black Panther, later reprising the role in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
In 2020, the Black Panther star made a remark that it’s only a matter of time before Marvel introduced its all-female Avengers. “I don’t think we have to fight for it,” she said. “Victoria Alonso is very strong about spearheading it, alongside Kevin. It’s only a matter of time before they do it.”
Meanwhile, Pugh's Yelena Belova has been one of the MCU’s newcomers after appearing in Black Widow (2021) and Hawkeye (2021). With her presence a big deal right now, the Don’t Worry Darling star is set to extend her MCU stay as she is about to star in Marvel’s upcoming Thunderbolts.

Despite dropping a few names, Majors noted that he can’t name anybody in particular for the next Avengers lineup, but he’s excited for what’s to come. “So I can’t name anybody in particular, but I’m very excited about this new group coming in,” he said.
Given Majors statement, could this be the time for a female-fronted MCU team-up movie?
Majors made his first appearance as Kang in Loki, and he's about to reprise his role as the villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, arriving on February 17, 2023, in cinemas.
