Rumour: Avengers: Age Of Ultron to introduce new superheroes?

A new rumour has emerged this morning regarding Avengers: Age Of Ultron , and some potential shifts to the lineup that could be precipitated by the film’s ending.

According to Badass Digest , the film will conclude with Captain America assembling a new team of superheroes, comprised of a mixture of characters old and new.

Why exactly a new team would be required has yet to be explained, but one of the major new additions is thought to be Ms. Marvel, otherwise known as Captain Marvel.

The report does go on to explain that the studio is still deliberating on whether to introduce her here in such a throwaway manner, or whether to give her a proper origin story in her own film, but in any case, it looks like that female superhero isn’t too far away.

Definitely worth staying after the credits for this one, in any case. Directed by Joss Whedon and co-starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans et al, Avengers: Age Of Ultron will open in the UK on 24 April 2015.
