![]() ![]() Fans should be bracing themselves for another Avengers team, but this time with questionable figures who are pawns of an even more dubious agenda. It seems that the character is setting up a hybrid of the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers from the comics. Val will have this new team, and she will need a place to run them out of. Well, for the same reason that the Avengers used the space. She was recently spotted on the set of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where she’s likely continuing her recruitment streak. There’s John Walker’s US Agent, Yelena, and Zemo so far––and that’s likely only a portion of the number she plans on picking up. She’s a shadowy figure, one who is recruiting people from across the MCU. The character was first seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and most recently, in Black Widow. Now another option comes in the form of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Val. If the former Avengers Tower is set to become the Oscorp Building, it will likely be the birthplace of years upon years of threats for the webhead to face after (probably) saving the Multiverse. So, when the MCU does get their own Osborn, Peter will be very cautious of his arrival. For the first time in the MCU, the name will be spoken––and it's a name that Tom Holland’s Peter will now know. With Spider-Man: No Way Home, the idea of Norman Osborne is being introduced with the return of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. There’s a new player in town, and having one of the most prominent buildings in New York City is a great way to make it known. There is no better option than Norman Osborn and his corporation.įirst off, Norman taking over a skyscraper that once served as the headquarters for the Avengers would be a huge power move and a way for him to assert dominance. So, with the sale of the Avengers Tower being pretty centralized around the web-slinger, it would make sense that the new owners would have a connection with Spider-Man. The whole saga of the Avengers Tower getting dismantled started in Spider-Man: Homecoming, with the movement of Stark tech being the target of Vulture’s heist in the last act. Back when Spider-Man: Far From Home was released, the fact that Avengers Tower was either sold or under some sort of construction work was pointedly teased during Spidey’s swinging montage at the end of the film. Let’s start with one of the most obvious choices: Oscorp. Which lends the question: who are the new tenants? Norman Osborn (Oscorp) Marvel ![]() While this isn’t necessarily news to fans (as it was first confirmed in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming that Stark sold the Tower in the aftermath of the events of Captain America: Civil War), it does show that Marvel continues to tease the future of the skyscraper. Barton, however, makes it clear that “Tony sold that a few years ago.” In the opening episodes, there’s a quick moment between Kate and Clint where she asks him if going to his safe house-which she assumes is Avengers Tower. The reviews for the show have been mostly positive, and fans seem to be enjoying it so far as well. 2.Hawkeye has finally hit its target, and the first two episodes of the series are now streaming on Disney+. Their absence in the MCU in 2017 means it is highly unlikely that Reed bought the tower. If the team existed in the sixties, parallel to the comics, it’s likely the team got stranded in the quantum realm or some form of the microverse, to explain the absence of them in the MCU timeline (and how they may look like they have not aged since the 1960s). ![]() Strange said ‘didn’t you guys chart in the sixties’. However, despite the Baxter Foundation’s name drop in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Stephen Strange’s brief comment in the Illuminati council room to Earth-838’s Reed Richards makes the possibility of the Baxter Foundation buying Avengers Tower more unlikely than likely. The buyer’s long-awaited reveal would probably be the best fan service if the Avengers handed it over to the Fantastic Four. Fantastic himself, is located in Manhattan, New York City in the comics and the tech-based foundations would seem like a smooth and easily explainable transition for Tony Stark to hand the keys over to a fellow genius in Reed Richards. With a new Fantastic Four film around the corner, estimated for a 2024 release, a new base of operations for Marvel’s first family seems fitting. ![]()
