- Captain Marvel. Arguably the most powerful Avenger in the MCU (we said “arguably,” Wanda fans!) , Carol Danvers seems poised to lead the Avengers against Kang in the upcoming MCU films.
- Doctor Strange. We know the real dream of every Marvel Comics fan is to see Doctor Strange lead The Defenders. But within the MCU, the master of the mystic arts is far more likely to help steer the new iteration of the Avengers.
- Thor. One of the original six MCU Avengers is still around, and he’s more than kicking. Thor Odinson is possibly stronger than ever now that he’s made peace with who he is rather than who he is supposed to be.
- She-Hulk. The original Avengers also had a Hulk, but we bet by the time the team reforms it’ll feature a different green hero. Jennifer Walters is coming to the franchise this year with her own Disney+ series, and she has a far greater history with the Avengers in the comics than Bruce Banner does.

We've known for a while that Avengers writer Jason Aaron is wrapping up his five-year run on the series. Now Marvel has revealed the first details about the relaunched series debuting in May 2023, including the new Avengers team roster and the creative team involved.
The latest volume of The Avengers will be helmed by writer Jed MacKay (Moon Knight) and artist C.F. Villa (X-Men). The duo previously collaborated on Black Cat. Spinning out of MacKay's work on the recent Timeless #1 one-shot issue, the new series will pit a streamlined version of the Avengers against Kang the Conqueror and the mysterious team known as the Twilight Court.
Whereas Aaron's Avengers team consists of a mixture of traditional favorites and more unusual recruits like Blade and Ghost Rider, MacKay and Villa's Avengers roster is geared toward the former, albeit with a few fun wrinkles. While the team includes the obligatory Avengers Trinity of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor, Sam Wilson is wielding the shield rather than Steve Rogers. And this time, Captain Marvel is the designated leader. The roster also includes Black Panther and the highly dysfunctional duo that is Scarlet Witch and Vision.
"I'm extremely excited to be launching the latest chapter of Avengers with my old Black Cat teammate C.F. Villa!” MacKay said in a statement. “I grew up on the Avengers, weaving in and out of their 60s and 70s exploits as a kid, and having the opportunity to plot the course of Earth's Mightiest Heroes is a rush, especially coming from the street-level and/or weirdo niche I've been working in over the last couple of years. This is big, loud Avengers stuff—nothing in this story should ever feel small or inconsequential, and our lineup reflects that. Heavy hitters and iconic Avengers are to the fore—The Tribulation Events are coming, and only the Avengers can take them on."
The Avengers #1 will release on May 17, 2023. Marvel will also feature some of Villa's concept art for the series in February's Stormbreakers 2023 Sketchbook #1.
This may not be the only new Avengers comic launching in 2023. Marvel recently teased the possible return of Uncanny Avengers as part of the publisher's Free Comic Book Day promotion. They also revealed Aaron will be returning to the Star Wars franchise as one of the creators involved in the anthology series Darth Vader: Black, White & Red.
