Wong Could Already Be Building The MCU’s Midnight Sons
The team that Wong seems to have been forming is vastly different from the Midnight Sons in Marvel Comics.
After becoming the Sorcerer Supreme duringAvengers: Endgame’sfive-year-long Blip,Wong has been given a more central role in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.Wong made appearances in more Phase 4 projectsthan any other MCU hero, bringing him into contact with some of the franchise’s newest heroes, such as Shang-Chi and She-Hulk. This has sparked speculation that Wong may be building his very own superhero team, and while this could lead to him becoming the leader of the New Avengers, he could also be forming his own version of something like the Midnight Sons.
The New Avengers Leader Is A Phase 3 Hero Nobody Expected? New Theory Has A Lot Of Evidence
One notable hero has been featured in a variety of projects in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, which could be hinting at a leading role for their future.
While the team that Wong seems to have been forming is vastly different from the Midnight Sons in Marvel Comics, this group has still had a focus on supernatural, mystical, or magical characters. Most notably, Wong fought theScarlet Witch inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, who would be a huge asset to the Midnight Sons upon her inevitable return to the MCU.Multiverse of Madnessalso saw Wong take multiversal traveler America Chavez under his wing, and her training in the Mystic Arts could earn her a spot on his team.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringssaw Wong introduce himself to Shang-Chi and Katy, whose mastery of the Ten Rings and new archery skills (respectively) would make them keen members of Wong’s Midnight Sons. The wild card of this budding team is Emil Blonsky’s Abomination, who sought refuge in Kamar-Taj followingShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Despite having no mystical connections, Abomination could take the role of the Hulk in Wong’s team, though there are still hopes the former villain will join the Thunderbolts, leaving the true line-up of theMCUMidnight Sons a mystery.
