Todays Marvel Barside Buzz has a rumored Champions roster, Beast is supposedly to return in the Avengers movies and first look at The Leader. Let’s start with Champions, which, by the way is the new name for the Young Avengers TV series in development. You know and all other Marvel fans know they’ve been teasing this for a while. Now Daniel RPK on his Patreon says he has the roster of who is all attached to the Disney+ series.
RPK says the following actors are a lock for the show.
Joe Locke (Wiccan), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop), Xochitl Gomez (America Chavez), Kathryn Newton (Cassie Lang), Dominique Thorne (Ironheart).
That’s not to say that other secondary characters may not become attached down the line. I’d be surprised if Elijah Richardson doesn’t show up as Patriot, even if not as big a role as those mentioned above. However, we shall see?

Second rumor today is that Alex P from TCC says that Beast, AKA Hank McCoy, will return for the upcoming Avengers movies, and therefore will be played once more by Kelsey Grammer.
Oh btw, Dr. Hank McCoy’s back for Avengers. https://t.co/g3vFi5d9Df

To be honest I’m sure we all figured that would be the case. Another scooper said Dafne Keen will return and again I’m a little bit like, yeah I could probably gamble on releasing that as a scoop. Though, that holds no interest to me.
Finally we have some official imagery of The Leader from Captain America: Brave New World. Check it out below, this has shown up in a few places now, but the image below is a pretty good clean up.

I like the look myself, at least as a first step if nothing else. Just enough there to work for me without feeling silly.
So, what do you think of the rumored Champions roster? What about the rumor Beast is supposedly to return in the Avengers movies and first look at The Leader? Thoughts below.
