| 8 | Mobius | Expected |
| 7 | Hulk | Possible |

The Breakdown
10. Kate Bishop. Hailee Steinfeld’s Hawkeye hero is the biggest long shot. Fans spotted a New York apartment staircase in a trailer that resembles her home, but Steinfeld told Jimmy Fallon she has no idea.
9. O.B. Ke Huy Quan’s TVA tech expert appears in the Endgame Encore scene showing colliding worlds, which points to a TVA role even though the Russos say that scene is not in the film.
8. Mobius. Owen Wilson appeared in the same Encore scene and was a key Loki character, but he left the TVA by the end of that series, so his return needs explaining.
7. Hulk. Another Encore scene shows Doctor Doom collecting Mark Ruffalo’s Banner. Some see this as Secret Wars groundwork, yet Ruffalo was not in the official cast announcement.
6. Falcon. Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres began in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and took over as Falcon in Captain America: Brave New World. He is officially cast, standing beside Sam.
5. US Agent. Wyatt Russell’s John Walker went from disgraced Captain America to New Avenger. With such a huge cast, expect limited screen time.
4. Loki. Tom Hiddleston’s god at the end of time holds the multiverse’s timelines together. He appears in Encore interrupting Steve and Peggy’s dance, and arguably deserves a higher spot.
3. Bucky Barnes. Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier now helps lead the Thunderbolts, also known as the New Avengers. His job is bridging that team with Sam’s, and fans fear for him while hoping for a Steve reunion.
2. Captain America. Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson earned the shield on Disney+. Even with Steve Rogers returning, expect Sam to lead, especially after the vague warning in Brave New World‘s post-credits scene.
1. Yelena Belova. Florence Pugh’s Yelena debuted in Black Widow, hunted Hawkeye on Disney+, and led the New Avengers at the end of Thunderbolts*. Pugh has discussed her Doomsday role, and Kevin Feige reportedly hinted she will anchor the film.
