Disney+’s Young Avengers Will Assemble Sooner Than Expected in 2025 MCU Series

This year on Disney+, it has been revealed that three members of the Young Avengers will unite. Contrary to previous assumptions that such a convergence wouldn’t occur until “Avengers: Doomsday” or Phase 7, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga has generated excitement among fans for a Young Avengers team-up due to the introduction of several new characters who could fit this group. Although the exact timing of this crossover is still undecided, the plot of “The Marvels” began to weave connections when Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan contacted Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop with a suggestion to form a team.

According to reports, Marvel Studios is set to bring back a group of heroes in a team-up series titled “Champions,” which shares similarities with the Young Avengers. This Disney+ project has received positive news as writer Rachna Fruchbom has joined the team, with plans to start filming in 2026 and release the show after the 2027 premiere of “Avengers: Secret Wars.

The latest report by Nexus Point News reveals new insights about the upcoming animated series on Disney+ titled “Marvel Zombies,” where Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Dominique Thorne as Ironheart, and Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel will reappear.

The confidential information indicates that the group of three youths will be very close companions, or “close friends,” in the adult-themed storyline. This will mark the first time the Young Avengers have been united on screen under Marvel Studios.

Anticipating the gathering of the Young Avengers in Earth-616, Marvel Zombies will provide a sneak peek into how their interactions might unfold once they come together.

The same Nexus Point News report likewise verified that the main antagonist in Marvel Zombies is none other than the Dead Queen, a former superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with whom we are already acquainted.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that although it marks their initial assembly within an MCU project, the trio of America Chavez, Cassie Lang, and Riri Williams previously joined forces in last year’s Disney Treasure’s “Worlds of Marvel”.

Three actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, namely Thorne, Steinfeld, and Vellani, are among nine who will lend their voices to the upcoming Disney+ series “Marvel Zombies,” set to premiere on October 3 this year. Given that many fans thought these characters wouldn’t appear together until the Avengers movies or Champions, the news of an early collaboration is a delightful surprise.

What Is Marvel Studios Planning for the Young Avengers?

The Marvel Zombies’ decision suggests strongly that Ironheart, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, and America Chavez may team up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming young superhero group. This alignment could hint at their future collaboration when a crossover event takes place.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), there are plenty of young heroes to watch out for, including Hulk’s son Skaar, Isaiah Bradley’s grandson Eli (known as Patriot), and Thor’s adopted child Love.

It hasn’t been decided yet which of these young stars might make it to the Champions, but Joe Locke’s characters Billy Maximoff and his brother Tommy (who are set to return in Vision Quest, as reported), known as Wiccan and Speed, could be strong possibilities.

At the moment, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s plans past “Avengers: Secret Wars” are always subject to change, as Marvel Studios may decide to postpone, alter, or abandon future projects altogether. Consequently, the fate of “Champions” remains uncertain until an official announcement is made, and the repeated delays in “Blade” serve as a reminder that even when something is confirmed, circumstances can still shift unexpectedly.

Nonetheless, fans can only cross their fingers that “Champions” will stabilize under Rachna Fruchbom and carry on its promising trajectory towards a Phase 7 premiere. Prior to this, it’s quite likely that these future Champions will intersect in the forthcoming “Avengers” films, paving the way for their grand crossover series.
