If you had to add 2 more members to *The New Avengers, and they have to be already existing characters from the MCU, who would you add?? (If Sam never decided to make a team)
If the New Avengers were to be the one and only Avengers group, who would you add that already debuted in the mcu?

Plus Kate because she’s already friends with Yelena and it balances out the gender ratio perfectly.
But Savage Hulk also got clapped by Thanos in a couple seconds so who knows if he could beat Sentry. That was an all time L for “who would win” Hulk discussions.
Also Captain Marvel in case they need to crack a planet in two or drop kick someone onto the sun and Sentry is off taking a mental health day.
But if that's not a factor then I'd want Kate Bishop cuz we need more Yelena and Kate interactions in our lives.
And Its not about redeeming as much ad it is about accepting/overcoming their darkaspects/pasts together. They're still there, they just stop trying to deny and run away from their past actions.
Moonknight I think fits in with them more.
Edit: Someone else said Echo and she's definitively my first option (sorry Kate), especially if she's not gonna be on the New Defenders
Add Sam cause they need someone who can fly. Plus, he would be competent enough to have his own team so he could hang around with them instead. Captain Marvel could also be a candidate, but she's isn't around on Earth much.
For one, we have the inevitable "homework" problem people keep bringing up. For two, he's immortal and has a god with him. Thats pretty fucking far away from the rest and would have downplayed Sentry. Not much.. but enough. For three, the void scenes would have been much more complicated for him.
I do truly hope he comes to the big screen both soon and often though. Hes easily one of my favorite mcu characters currently.
They could have used that >!personality exclusively!< throughout the entire movie and just played it straight, with the other characters and non-show-viewers none the wiser.
Either way, it would have been an introduction to a "new" character for all viewers, without the need to explain anything.
As for the second one I'm not sure, maybe a reformed villain like the vulture that'd be interesting
She-Hulk would be absolutely hilarious. So many good jokes could come out of her reactions. Plus Red Guardian would instantly be in love.
Kate Bishop because Yelena (duh) and She Hulk because we need a heavy hitter who isn't 'working on it'.
Now we need more punching
Hawkeye (Clint Barton)
and Moon Knight.
Kate simply because I like her and Yelena’s relationship, and She-Hulk just for that extra strength benefit and the humor.
Alternatively, gimme Clint and Scott cause you know Val would want them to “legitimize” the New Avengers by saying “Here! We have two Avengers who recognize the New Avengers” lol
She-Hulk: Yeah, technically, Sentry is stronger than her, but the Void and his ego issues make him kinda useless. So having a Hulk in full control of herself would be a good workaround, plus it'd be fun to have someone remind them that they break the law all the time.
Moon Knight: I'd prefer him to be on the Midnight Suns, but they're also a morally gray, atypical superhero group, so it works. Plus, his powers are tied to the supernatural, so it'd be a change of pace from the rest.
Moon Knight has that, but he’s too aloof, especially in that he’s at the whims of Khonshu. That’s before we get into split personalities.
She-Hulk could become that if society continues to reject her. They’d need to get Hulk more out of control for him to get there.
Kate and Yelena’s chemistry aside, Kate doesn’t fit the team. She’s too nice.
So, none of that selection.
Now, a controlling Zemo, or even a Namor trying to gain influence? Yes. The Abomination also has some scope.
Star-Lord has an outside shout. Doesn’t care as much about Earth, has seen and done some weird stuff. Seems to thrive having a found family.
But if we are going with pure vibes, interaction, and connection. Kate and Sam should join the team. They're already familiar with some of the members of the team. Plus, they added a great boost to the team as Sam has great mobility, firepower (if he still has those vibranium wings), and can fly. He practically covers what Tony's role in Avengers in the battlefield. Kate, on the other hand, can provide the team with long-distance attacks since alot of the New Avengers is just throwing hands most of the time and extra power & hacks in the form of trick arrows. They'd honestly be fun to watch and interact with them again with the rest of the team.
And if I could throw in a 3rd new member, I would choose Moon Knight. The guy will be a major help with the team in all aspects aside from tech intelligence, really. The guy almost has it all, even the loose wild card in the form of Jake Lockley. There's also the fact Konshu can help every now and then. It would be also fun to watch the rest of the team interact with the Mark, Steven, and Jake, since the three of them would have really interesting dynamic with each of the team. Especially for Bob, since he'll have someone to actually really relate to and hang out with as they share alot of the same struggles, from childhood trauma to having darker loose cannon version of themselves.
Or any of the Defenders.
I think the dynamics they'd offer would be great.
The level of snarky, sarcastic banter between Ross & Blonsky would be epic.
I would pay good money for a front row seat to that.
It’d be cool to have Jake Lockley’s Moon Knight for most of the movie, I think he’d be the most morally corrupt of all of them considering he has no morals until all the sudden, Marc and Steven wake up and are horrified to realize that they’re blacking out again and realizing Khonshu lied to them about their “deal”. While Bob is also someone with DID, I think Marc/Steven/Jake could empathize with him.
Marvel seemed to like Layla’s iteration of the Scarlet Scarab so much they brought her to the comics. Layla was a great character in the show, and her and Marc’s backgrounds could warrant her being on the team. Not sure if she continued being the Scarlet Scarab after the show or not because Marvel is for some reason terrified to even touch Moon Knight. Having either or both would be an excuse for Marvel to actually utilize them again.
Since people are lining up the old team’s roles to the new one, both would be this team’s power couple (old team’s was Wanda and Vision)
I don't think they would really fit with the depressed, hardened soldiers looking for redemption vibe the current team and movie has.
