Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man however stays an all-time OG Avenger and will likely lead the team or more specifically, the replacement of Iron Man i.e., Shang-Chi. With these newer characters and the retirement of the older generation, there is surely going to be a generational gap seen in the MCU content-wise and entertainment-wise.

Although the MCU train gets derailed from the lore of the comics, this seems to be a good thing when the new Avengers lead the fight. As per IGN, the upcoming Avengers that will fight Kang in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is a mixture of the original ones and some newer faces. It is also rumored that Shang-Chi will replace the role of Iron Man as the team leader while Sam Wilson will portray the role of Captain America. There are also plans to feature Bucky Barnes amidst it all since the duo of Sam Wilson and the Winter Soldier is something to be missed.

The newer Avengers will include the likes of Wong, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange, Sam Wilson’s Captain America, War Machine (rumored), Ironheart, and Spider-Man. Although there has been no official release date for the movie confirmed, the new Avengers will surely be a sight to look at.
