According to new rumors by @MyTimeToShineH, Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan might lead the ‘Young Avengers’.

The ‘Young Avengers’ are a young superhero team connected to the main Avengers. They first appeared in Young Avengers #1 in April 2005, created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung. These characters usually have ties to established Avengers, adding to their appeal.

Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld, is a skilled archer inspired by Hawkeye. After losing her father in the Battle of New York, Kate idolized Hawkeye and decided to master archery. She met Clint Barton, the original Hawkeye, during an investigation into the Tracksuit Mafia. Together, they took down the Mafia, and Clint saw her worth, sharing the mantle of Hawkeye with her. Later, Kamala Khan approached Kate to join her team of young heroes.

Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American Muslim from New Jersey. She has Inhuman lineage, which was activated by the Terrigen Bomb. This gave her the power to stretch her body in various ways. Kamala is a huge fan of superheroes, especially Carol Danvers, the original Ms. Marvel. She eventually took on the Ms. Marvel identity herself. Recently, it was revealed that Kamala is also a mutant, making her a unique hybrid.
