Yeah it's sounding like this is heading towards the eventual passing of the torch to the new generation of Avengers.

Heck with enough time passing by T'Challa's son could be 18 and ready to take on the Black Panther mantle

Makes me think Doom is hopping universes to snuff out all the offspring of Avengers

"Nowhere in the universe will they be safe from my wrath! I'm coming for all of them!"

I think the passing of the torch will be more about The Avengers stepping back from being the big MCU thing to make way for the rise of The X-Men. Even if they won't admit it, I think the people in charge have figured that the OG Avengers can't really be replaced with what will always feel like The Avengers JV squad. The X-Men though are big enough with lots of appeal to really match the popularity of the old Avengers, provided they pick the right actors for the roles.
 
I'm not really bothered by the idea of the story focusing on Doom going after the heroes' kids, it doesn't seem to me like there's reason a movie with that as the basis of the story couldn't still be good or even great.
It hadn't really occured to me before just how many of the characters either started out with or have had kids since the movies started.
So we have:
Cassie Lang
Franklin Richards
Toussaint/ T'Challa II
Love
Steve Roger's and Peggy Carter's baby
Skaar
Morgan Stark
Billy Maximoff
Tommy Maximoff
Is that all of them? I feel like I'm missing someone.
We also have VisionQuest coming up, and in the comics Vision eventually has an android son and daughter, Vin and Viv, but with where things are with them into the MCU.
If Wolverine is part of Doomsday and Secret Wars, then would Laura also count?
With Cyclops back, could we maybe see Rachel Summers?

There's no reason there can't be a multi-generational Avengers team.
 
You cannot read too much into teasers but the dialogue likely hints at *something* and the Thor one does not suggest he is snatching all the kids:

“Grant me the strength of the old fathers, so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her. Not as a warrior, but as warmth, to teach her not battle, but stillness, the kind I never knew. Please father heed my word.”

Interesting they switched away from being ambigious about if he had powers to confirming he (seemingly) always had them.

That kind of confused me, because I could sworn the descriptions said he doesn't get powers until after he started work on the movie. I was wondering if the people making the movie give him powers to make it more realistic, but now this seems to be implying he's always had them.

There's the bit we've seen in the past two trailers where he looks furtive when he's asked to sign a form confirming he doesn't have superpowers. It's pretty clear that he does have powers but signs the form anyway, hiding his powers so he can get the part. (Though I'm curious why the production would insist on a no-powers clause. You'd think they'd be happy to cast a powered individual to play Wonder Man, since it would save plenty on VFX costs.)
