Marvel Studios obviously has plans to break its universe wide open following the release next year of Avengers 4, but it might feel weird to roll out the standard Avengers fanfare a few years down the line, especially if some core members aren’t there (looking at you, Iron Man and Captain America). But there’s an easy fix for that, and it could bring a ton of fan-favorite characters to the big screen.

Let the next five years of the MCU focus on our big-player solo heroes and their subsequent solo films. Characters like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Black Widow will get some time to shine away from the crossover events, while the Young Avengers take the spotlight. We’re thinking a cross between the coming-of-age stuff from Spider-Man: Homecoming and the “strangers become family” theme of Guardians of the Galaxy. But there’s still a lot of groundwork before we get there.

The Young Avengers have had a number of team members over the years, with Cassie Lang, known as Stature, being a part of at least one of the incarnations. Other usual suspects include Wiccan, Scarlet Witch’s sort-of son, Hulkling (a half-Skrull shapeshifter) and Kate Bishop (the best Hawkeye). The team most recently made waves in the 2013 comic book run from Jamie McKelvie and Kieron Gillen.

With speculation that an older Cassie Lang has been cast in Avengers 4, could we see Stature show up sooner rather than later? Maybe. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently acknowledged he’s open to introducing the Young Avengers, and even conceded that Ant-Man and The Wasp could be the first steps toward that.

“We’ve always been fans of Power Pack and figuring that out,” he said. “And yes. So … where and when we would see the evolution of that? I don’t know. And certainly – taking our cue from the comics as we always do – that’s why we wanted Cassie, a very young Cassie in this movie, to be inspired by her father. Just planting seeds.”

It would be quite an undertaking to introduce so many characters in one go. Sure, Scarlet Witch is already in play, so maybe it wouldn’t be a stretch to introduce Wiccan. With time travel a possibility in Avengers 4 and the Skrulls set to make their debut in Captain Marvel, maybe Iron Lad and Hulkling are only a skip away. Characters like Kate Bishop or Marvel Boy or even Kid Loki could easily fit into the current MCU.

We’re not saying it will be soon, but with hints already setting the stage for a future of young heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Stature suit up in the next few years, pending a time skip. At the end of the day, it’s just fun speculation, and if any film proves fun is integral to the MCU, it’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.

In theaters now, director Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and The Wasp stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Laurence Fishburne, Hannah John-Kamen, Randall Park and Walton Goggins.
