One thing I've been wondering is - presuming the Champions/Young Avengers/whatever is finally a go, how will the different profiles of the actors change the show?

The basic issue I see here is they're all at somewhat different levels of fame. Several of them are known names in Hollywood and have either co-led or outright led their own series already. Others have had less exposure, with supporting roles in movies serving as their introduction.

The issue I see is becoming part of an ensemble means less screen time overall, and having it as a Disney+ series rather than a movie means it's not going to be that prominent.

I dunno what sort of contracts they have for them - maybe they signed some sort of multi-project agreements like the Avengers actors did - but I could see Steinfeld or Locke noping out after a season or two, just because they've got better things to do.

That's always a possibility, but Marvel seems to be pretty good at getting people to come back or convincing them to stick around, so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw most of the actors keep coming back.
It's also worth keeping in mind that their seasons are fairly short, so it wouldn't be that hard to squeeze in a season between movies or other shows.

True. There's also room enough to introduce more Champions in Season 2 and beyond. TFATWS didn't tease Eli Bradley for nothing, but I wouldn't say the appearance amounted to decent setup, and if he was going to get a real role in Brave New World, I'd guess we'd have heard it by now.

Hopefully they do something with Hulkling eventually too (and ditch the whole Skaar thing - a GCI MC is way beyond the budget we're going to see from the MCU TV shows now).
 
Hulking would be CGI too, no? He's a shape shifter and a big green guy. Though I guess most of his look could be make up.

Aubrey Plaza released the following statement about her husband's death:

“This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”​

I was going to say the "we" was a bit weird, but looking at the link, it was a joint statement with her late husband's family, so it makes a ton of sense.
 
I presume they're mooting an alternative T'Challa, since we're apparently gonna get alter versions of a lot of MCU characters.

I haven't read the article linked to, but two other articles on this subject indeed speculate that it will be a T'Challa from a different timeline.
