The MCU May Have Just Introduced Its Next Young Avengers Member

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Summary

• Deadpool & Wolverine brought X-23 back to Earth-10005, meaning that she could enter the MCU's main timeline and eventually join the Young Avengers.
• X-23's displayed excellent teamwork and leadership skills in Logan, leading a group of fellow young mutants.
• The MCU's Young Avengers are significantly different from their comic book counterparts. X-23 fits this open, older, and slightly multiversal version of the team.

The MCU's Young Avengers may be one step closer to assembling, courtesy of Deadpool & Wolverine. Although Marvel Studios hasn't announced a Young Avengers project officially yet, it's clear that the MCU has been laying the foundations for the team for a while now. Various Young Avengers have been introduced since the beginning of Phase 4, and The Marvels' ending scene featured Kamala Khan recruiting Kate Bishop for her own version of the Avengers Initiative.
Deadpool & Wolverine not only introduced Hugh Jackman's new Wolverine variant in an MCU movie, but it also brought back several pre-MCU characters either as supporting characters or as Deadpool & Wolverine's multiversal cameos. One of the X-Men characters who made a surprise appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine is Dafne Keen's Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23, who joins the titular heroes alongside Wesley Snipes' Blade, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and Channing Tatum's Gambit to defeat Cassandra Nova.
X-23 Could Be The Young Avengers' Multiversal Member Dafne Keen's Laura Kinney Is Now Able To Join The MCU's Main Timeline With Wolverine And Deadpool Close After Deadpool asks Hunter B-15 to save his friends from the Void as a sign of gratitude for thwarting Paradox and Cassandra Nova's evil plans, Wolverine and X-23 appear in Deadpool's house during Deadpool & Wolverine's ending scene, meaning that both Logan characters have found a home in Earth-10005. Wolverine and Deadpool are almost guaranteed to enter Earth-616 in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, and they could bring X-23 along with them. Once in the MCU, X-23 could stay and find a new family in the Young Avengers.

8 Laura Kinney displayed great leadership skills in Logan, where she led her fellow test subjects in a counterattack against Xander Rice, the Reavers, and X-24. X-23's friends joined forces to defeat Donald Pierce and his henchmen, and she successfully helped her friends escape to Canada despite Wolverine and Charles Xavier's deaths. X-23 also struggled to develop social skills after several years of enclosure, and she was pruned from her timeline after settling in Canada with her mutant survivor team. Joining a team of young superheroes in the MCU would be a logical step in her journey.
In Deadpool & Wolverine, X-23 is also the leader of the Void's survivor group.
X-23 Fits The MCU’s Young Avengers Concept The MCU's Young Avengers Are Quite Different From Marvel Comics' Original Team Custom Image by Nicolas Ayala In the comics, the Young Avengers assemble with the goal of carrying the original Avengers' legacy, The MCU's version of the Young Avengers seems to be less connected to Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and all the possible candidates are older than their comic book counterparts. X-23's age and lack of ties to the original Avengers make her a perfect candidate for this iteration of the team. Besides, X-23's multiversal trip from Earth-10005 to Earth-616 after Deadpool & Wolverine aligns with America Chavez, Ms. Marvel, and Cassie Lang's stories, as they already have participated in multiverse-related battles.
