Following the completion of Jason Aaron's current Avengers Multiverse saga for Marvel Comics, Jed MacKay and artist C.F. Villa will usher in a new era of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The team will be led by Captain Marvel, as the mighty Avenger was chosen as the group's first-in-command.

Captain Marvel will lead the Avengers as they face off against some incredibly dangerous threats emerging from across space and time.
Captain Marvel Was Chosen To Lead A New Avengers Team With Many Familiar Faces
Marvel Comics revealed the new Avengers team this month, as Captain Marvel will lead a squad featuring some of the most important and beloved heroes in the Marvel Universe. The group consists of almost A-List heroes, as Captain Marvel is joined by Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Panther. In addition, the roster will also feature Scarlet Witch and Vision, who get promoted to the main Avengers team. With Captain Marvel leading the charge and several powerhouses among the team, the new roster is one of the strongest Avengers squads ever assembled from a pure power standpoint.
Captain Marvel will lead an Avengers team as the world is in peril against a threat dangerous enough to destroy the planet - including facing off against Terminus. The solicitation for Avengers #1 by Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa also reveals the Avengers will battle against a "friend," implying someone close to the team (or on the team) will turn against Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
The world is ever in peril, and a new team of Avengers mobilizes to meet any dangers that dare threaten the planet. But when Terminus attacks, a new and insidious danger rears its head: one that the Avengers know all too well, and one that comes to them in the most dangerous of guises – that of a friend.
It's fun to see Captain Marvel lead the Avengers once again, as she's earned the role in the Marvel Universe. Carol Danvers is not only one of the strongest Avengers but also one of the most intelligent team members, which makes her getting chosen to lead the team a fitting honor. Readers can see Captain Marvel lead the Avengers when Avengers #1 by Marvel Comics comes to comic book stores on May 17, 2023.
