Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[Jason X-Mas]

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?

Hawkeye's kids.

 

[Set Harth]

At this point throw in Bebe's kids

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

technically Groot is the offspring of Groot.

There's no reason there can't be a multi-generational Avengers team.
