Avengers: Endgame has been released a huge upheaval in the Marvel Universe. The Russo Brothers movie, released in 2019, came to wrap up the massive Infinity War arc with a titanic final battle. The blockbuster resulted in the disappearance of certain heroes like Iron Man and Captain America, and resulted in serious consequences for the rest of the Marvel universe. Today, we wanted to take stock of the Avengers still in activity. within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The Avengers
They made their first appearance in 2012, when Joss Whedon directed the first Avengers. Initially, this emblematic team is simply composed of Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Hulk. Subsequently, many characters have joined the team over time and various MCU movies. With the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the team ranks have grown a lot. What gave us want to take a look around the Avengers still in activity.
Indeed, some of them are no longer really there. Iron Man, Vision and Black Widow are dead, Steve Rogers has retired, The Scarlet Witch has passed over obscure, Thor and Captain Marvel are no longer on Earth, Doctor Strange prefers to go it alone and unfortunately Chadwick Boseman, the interpreter of Black Panther, is deceased. >Which drastically reduces the list.So here are the last working Avengers.
Captain America
If Steve Rogers got old and retired somewhere (perhaps on the moon as the series Falcon and the Winter Soldier suggests), Sam Wilson cupéré his shield and became the new face of Captain America. Indeed, the former Falcon incarnate; by Anthony Mackie, first introduced in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is therefore the brand new face of Captain America. After having long hesitated before accepting this heavy heritage, Sam Wilson decided to to face his destiny and became the new soldier in the world. the star banner at; the end of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. The character will return in Captain America 4, and is a still active member of the Avengers.
The latter should logically continue to working with Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, who was the second main character in the Disney+ series. Even though Bucky has never been considered like a real Avengers, he is still active too.
Ant-Man
Introduced in 2015 in the Peyton Reed’s film, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) then returned to; many times in the MCU.The character joined the Avengers at Avengers: Endgame opportunity. Even if the hero still remains a little behind the rest of the team, he has worked hard enough. with them in the Endgame juggernaut to be officially considered like an Avengers.
And so far, Ant-Man is in great shape. The character still has a bright future ahead of him. He will also be back in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, expected on February 15, 2023, with the Wasp, played by Evangeline Lilly.
Hulk
Hulk has evolved enormously; over time. It is first presented; like Dr. Banner who fails to manage his anger and turn into the Hulk as soon as the stress gets the better of him. An early version that can be found in The Incredible Hulk, Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Then, in Thor: Ragnarok, the character evolves. Hulk takes control and lets Banner sleepfor many months. In Avengers: Infinity War, the Hulk leaves complete control to the Hulk. Banner and disappears to hide behind him, too worried about meeting Thanos again. Finally, in Avengers: Endgame, Hulk and Banner merge to become Smart Hulk.
The Jade Giant is still currently in operation. After a short appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, his fans can even find him in the series She-Hulkwhere he will guide and train his cousin Jennifer Walters. Which suggests that the green giant could hang up and leave its place to this new heroine.
Spider-Man
It’s the breath of fresh air for the old team. The element that connects the old and the new team, Spider-Man is still a bankable hero. Introduced in Captain America: Civil War, his Avengers destiny was one of his recurring dramatic springs.
Young Peter Parker absolutely wanted to become an official member of the Avengers. However, it was not until Avengers: Infinity War that Spidey officially joined the ranks of the greatest team in the world. There is no doubt that the character still has many good years ahead of him.
Hawkeye
He is perhaps the most tired of them all. still active Avengers. After the Civil War, Clint Barton has taken mandatory retirement. But with the death of his entire family at At the end of Avengers : Infinity War, ŒEye of Hawk returns. When the Hulk brings everyone back with the infinity gauntlet, he can reunite with his little family and retire once again. But here it is. back to business at; cause of Kate Bishop in the series Hawkeye.
There is no doubt that the character embodied; by Jeremy Renner expected to retire soon, to be replaced by young Kate Bishop. But for now, Clint Barton is still officially a working Avengers.
War Machine
First incarnated; by Terrence Howard in the first Iron Man, then by Don Cheadle since Iron Man 2, General Rhodes is there; from the very beginning. While he becomes War Machine from Iron Man 2, he remains a recurring but nevertheless secondary character in the MCU.
Nevertheless, the character is still active and will be able to prove his worth in his first main role at the end of his career. the occasion of the Armor Wars series.
The Next Avengers
If the original team shrinks,the Avengers have a lot of people to work with; recruit. Many characters have been introduced in recent years, and two Avengers teams are emerging. There is obviously the main team, always composed of the heroes mentioned above. A team that could be increased by recruiting heroes likeShang-Chi, Monica Rambeau, She-Hulk, Jane Foster, Dark Knight or Moon Knight.
And on the other hand, Marvel Studios is planning the introduction of the Young Avengers. This team, very famous among comic book readers, is made up of young superheroes who have abilities very close to their adult counterparts. So, for the moment, Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), America Chavez, Kamala Khan (Miss Marvel), Elijah Bradley (Patriot), Cassie Lang (Stature) are all contenders to compose a whole new Avengers team!
