Considering the longevity of the Marvel Universe, it’s no wonder that some teams were completely forgotten over the years. While the Avengers have become, by appearing in the MCU, the most iconic group of superheroes in marvel, others are still struggling to make themselves known in this stable. However, the coming years may well pave the way for them. Indeed, over the course of the productions, the presence of the Avengers seems to gradually fade away in favor of new heroes and possibly new teams of superheroes. But by whom could they be replaced in the future? We obviously think of the Fantastic 4, the Guardians of the Galaxy or even the X-Men, but there are so many other possibilities… Discover 10 of which, while not the most well-known teams, could make for fascinating additions to the MCU.
